Megan Thee Stallion pulled up to Adweek’s Social Media Week in New York City on Wednesday (April 10), where she revealed her favorite social media app at the moment — and it’s probably not the go-to for most people in their late 20s like Meg.
The Houston Hottie tapped into her Millennial spirit and crowned Pinterest as her favorite app with an appreciation for curating her own visual mood board.
“You know what I really like, Pinterest. I’m not gonna tell anybody what my Pinterest is. I got a lot of stuff saved, OK! I deleted Instagram and Twitter off my phone, but I have TikTok and I got Pinterest. Pinterest is like the best app, in my opinion, right now because I can curate what I want to see,” she explained.
“I can get on there and see what I want to see. Like if I want to see puppies all day, that’s what I see,” she added. “Makeup, puppies, breakfast, workout videos, booty shorts. I see all the content I like to see.”
Pinterest’s Instagram account hopped into the comment section to co-sign Meg’s message: “We’re hotties for life!”
Per Statista, Pinterest has more than 97 million active users in the United States, and that figure is expected to continue to grow over the next few years thanks to a bump in engagement with Generation Z.
Megan Thee Stallion’s admission regarding deleting Instagram and X from her phone could be tied to the backlash she received throughout the Tory Lanez shooting case.
“A lot of people didn’t treat me like I was human for a long time,” she told Women’s Health earlier this week. “I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me. As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings and handle it with grace. But I’m human.”
Megan credited therapy and working out for jumpstarting her healing process. “Before I went onstage, I would be crying half the time because I didn’t want to [perform], but I also didn’t want to upset my fans,” she admitted. “I didn’t want to get [out] from under the covers. I stayed in my room. I would not turn the lights on. I had blackout curtains. I didn’t want to see the sun. I knew I wasn’t myself. It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed. But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself.”
Lanez was ultimately sentenced to 10 years in prison on three felony counts over the incident last August, in which he shot Meg in the feet following an argument outside a pool party in the Hollywood Hills in July 2020.
