Megan Thee Stallion has explained the difference between Megan Pete and her rap persona.

The Houston rapper is one of the biggest rappers in the world and has battled with two sides of herself during her rise to fame.

For her Entrepreneur cover story, Megan went into detail about what separates the two identities of Megan Thee Stallion and Megan Pete.

“I feel like I had to learn how to separate Megan Pete and Megan Thee Stallion,” she began. “When I’m interacting with my people and my Hotties, I want them to feel like – when they had that experience with Megan – it don’t matter if they were having a bad day, because once they met me, their day was better. They might have felt some type of relief.”

Megan went on to say that she felt like she leaned too much into her persona as a rapper, which affected her relationships.

“I was Megan Thee Stallion all the time,” she said. “I was on all the time. And people treated me that way. Like, even people that had known me for so long in my life, they no longer treated me like the Megan that they grew up with. They started treating me like Megan Thee Stallion.”

She continued, “And I didn’t like that. I’m like, ‘This is so crazy. You know me, so why are we sitting here and you’re recording everything I do? Or why are we talking about other famous people all the time?’ It was hard for me to experience.”

Megan added that she had to recognise who was playing a consistent role in her life, rather than those who would come and go.

“I had to learn who’s going to be long-term, and who’s just the reason in the season,” she said. “I had to learn that, when I go home, I can’t take my whole day with me inside of my personal life. Like, whatever happened to Megan Thee Stallion today, I should not take that home to my real friends and my real relationships and my family. This is two different lives I’m living.”
