Megan Thee Stallion announced that she will be launching a new self-designed swimwear brand in collaboration with Walmart.
Meg announced on Wednesday (May 14) that her new Hot Girl Summer line will be available at the retailer starting on May 19. The 18 size-inclusive pieces will be sold at nearly 500 Walmart stores across the country, Walmart.com as well as the rapper’s website.
“Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand,” Megan said in a statement. “It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it’s a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart and I’m so grateful for their support.”
The initial collection of Hot Girl Summer includes an assortment of bikinis, monokinis, one-piece swimsuits and swimsuit cover-ups. They’ll be included in a dozens of colors, including purple, gold, black, orange and pink. The Houston native designed the entire collection herself, making her the first hip-hop artist to launch her own swimwear brand.
“At Walmart, we want our customers to feel confident by offering fashion that celebrates their individuality and unique style,” Ryan Waymire, SVP Women’s Group of Walmart said in a statement. “Megan embodies confidence and authenticity, and we’re excited to collaborate with her on an exclusive swim collection that completes the ultimate Hot Girl Summer uniform.”
The news comes as Meg’s attorney Alex Spiro shut down claims from Tory Lanez’s legal team about alleged new evidence in the 2020 shooting case that they say proves his innocence.
“Tory Lanez was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and his case was properly adjudicated through the court system,” Spiro said in a statement to XXL. “This is not a political matter — this is a case of a violent assault that was resolved in the court of law.”
Lanez was convicted on three felony counts for assaulting Megan Thee Stallion by shooting her in the feet following an argument outside a July 2020 party in Hollywood Hills.
