Megan Thee Stallion Receives Amazing Letter of Support
The Southern Black Girls and Women Consortium’s executive director, Malikah Berry Rodgers, dedicated an open letter to Megan Thee Stallion, and it couldn’t have been more special.
It’s safe to say the past two years have been a very transformative time in Stallion’s life. Megan Thee Stallion graduated from Texas Southern University in 2021 and made a viral hit single alongside Beyoncé. She has won three Grammys and is being nominated for two more this year. For Stallion’s career, the skies are the limit. During all her success, she has also experienced some intense lows. This includes her ongoing case against Tory Lanez for assault and constant fight with her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.
I genuinely believe Meg Thee Stallion is destined to win. No matter the level of evil she faces she continues to rise above it all. I hope she is surrounded by genuine love and support because this is only the beginning. She’s gonna change the game and that’s why they’re mad.

Megan Thee Stallion has used her platform to motivate, inspire and raise awareness about violence against Black women. Fans tied lyrics from Drake and 21 Savage’s newly released song, “Circo Loco,” to Stallion, which allegedly questioned her alibi for her assault case against Tory Lansez in 2020. Backlash immediately followed, and ‘Protect Black Women’ began trending on Twitter. Amid all her challenges, the Black Girls and Women Consortium decided to give back to her.
Many fans and notable celebrities, including Representative Maxine Waters and Me Too founder Tarana Burke, chose to show their support for the “Savage” artist shortly after. “You don’t deserve any of this, Megan. You deserve to be heard, to be believed, and, most importantly, to be safe,” the open letter stated. Broadcasted on ABC and Nightline, Malikah Berry Rodgers discussed the letter and its importance, “There is something that is lingering in our culture that it is OK to objectify, to create places that are not safe for Black girls and women, and we are here to stand and say, absolutely not.”
