Besides music, the Hiss hitmaker's career has expanded into much more. She made history as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live and will also host the 2024 MTV VMAs on September 11.

Megan has also ventured into the acting world, guest-starring in Disney+'s She-Hulk and the musical remake of Mean Girls.

Now, she's even launching her own tequila, Chicas Divertidas, inspired by a casual conversation with none other than Beyoncé.

"'You better have your own s**t,'" she recalled Queen Bey telling her. "The next time she saw me, I said, 'Hey Beyoncé. Look what I got.'"

One of the biggest changes in Megan's career has been her decision to part ways with her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.

After doing so, the Otaku Hot Girl rapper dropped her third album, Megan, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.

It also marked the biggest debut for any rap album released by a woman in 2024.

She credits her early career struggles for teaching her how to become the artist she is today.

"It definitely taught me to be the performer that I am," she stated.

"Going around my home state definitely set me up to be prepared to be comfortable with people everywhere else."

Megan also explained that she has much more to give.

"With this album, I wanted to show people my personal interests and thoughts," she said.

"I feel like I did that. A lot of people were expecting me to come on this album talking one way, and I wanted to introduce myself – this version of myself that I am right now."

When asked about taking shots at Nicki Minaj in the album opener, Hiss, Megan admitted to being a bit confused over the entire ordeal.

"I still to this day don't know what the problem is," she said.

"I don't even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don't know what the problem is."

As for politics, Meg is notably supportive of Kamala Harris, as she recently pumped up a crowd of "Hotties for Harris" during an election rally in Atlanta, Georgia.

"To be alive in a lifetime where a Black woman or a woman at all could be the president, I feel so blessed," she said.

She also urged people to vote!

At the end of the interview, Megan talked about what she calls her "selfish era," where she's learning to prioritize her own mental health and overall happiness.

"Everything was about making other people smile and other people happy. Now I'm in a space where I want to be happy," she revealed.
