“I had absolutely no idea it was going to do all this!” she began, talking about her immediate success. “I had no idea this was going to happen. I had been holding back my feelings for a while. I felt like everyone was kicking me when I was down.

“It was nice to finally be able to just talk because I was in a place where I was so depressed and I didn’t want to do anything that would disrupt any sort of peace. I felt like, Oh, Megan Thee Stallion, everyone hates you right now. Don’t say a word. Shut up.”

She continued: “I felt so bad every day. It was such a difficult place to come out of. I don’t even want to care who hates me, really. What I should my focus is on the love I receive. That’s what I’m trying to improve on now. Not everything will always be great. If I have to be there for the cheers, I have to be there for the boos. »
