Rapper-songwriter Megan Thee Stallion visited Jimmy Fallon in the latest episode of his "at-home" version of "The Tonight Show," yesterday evening, April 20.
The "Hot Girl Summer" rapper appeared fresh in her flowing black locks and red shit. She was accompanied by her dog, Frenchie 4, throughout the interview.
Megan revealed staying home amid the shelter-in-place orders in Los Angeles, but she confirmed working on a new album. "I've been recording. That's the best thing about quarantine," Thee Stallion told the late-night show host.
She added that though she "would have been working on it anyway," she has nothing else to do in the middle of self-quarantine. She shared writing songs and setting up a studio at home so fans can expect new music once the quarantine is lifted.
"What would you call this time that we're living through?" Fallon asks, to which Megan Thee Stallion answered "This is a quarantine girl summer"
Megan also described her songwriting process, explaining that she plays a beat to freestyle to keeping the lines she thinks are "cool." She also shared both writing and freestyling, as she reviews the result of her freestyle and sees if something else works.
Thee Stallion also kicks everybody out of the room before she starts her songwriting session. She further added that she makes sounds that she doesn't want anybody to hear, explaining that she already knows the beat she needs.
"The Tonight Show" host then talked about her recent single "Savage" being a hit on the video-sharing social media platform TikTok, spawning the now-trending #SavageChallenge. Megan replied that she saw celebrities doing it, such as Courtney Cox, Jessica Alba, and even Janet Jackson.
"I win, Janet Jackson follows me on Instagram. Everyone else can go away," Megan triumphantly said.
She also updated Fallon that she's currently a senior in college, taking Healthcare Administration. She shared that she took up the course since her grandmother told her to be a nurse, but eventually found a program she wanted to do. Megan envisions establishing her own assisted-living center for the elderly and giving her classmates the opportunity to earn experience by working there.
"Because people don't wanna give you jobs because you don't have the experience; but if you don't give me the job, how am I gonna get the experience," the rapper explained.
The Texas native also shared her recent partnership with Amazon, in which she donated money to an assisted-living facility in Houston, Texas. She said that "Amazon just matched what I was donating," adding that the multinational tech titan also gave away Fire tablets to help the people in the facility to connect with their families in the middle of the quarantine.
She is now joining the #ALLINChallenge, the latest fundraising effort where artists and celebrities offer a challenge - fans can bid on a rare item or get up close and personal with these stars. Her "All In Challenge" promises a day with her on a music-video set including the whole experience - getting their hair, makeup, wardrobe - and appear on the music video.
The album Megan Thee Stallion is currently working on her would be next project after her nine-track EP "Suga," which spawned the Hot 100 entry "B.I.T.C.H." and the wildly successful "Savage."
