Slim Thug Thinks Megan Thee Stallion Has a Crush on Him After Her Coachella Set
When Megan Thee Stallion lit up the Coachella 2025 stage, she didn’t just perform—she made a statement. Amid a high-energy set filled with hits, choreography, and fiery visuals, she took a moment to honor her Houston roots, dancing to a medley that included Slim Thug’s classics “Still Tippin’” and “Thug.” But what Megan likely intended as a hometown tribute quickly became something else when Slim Thug took to social media with a bold claim: Megan must have a crush on him.
“She knows what she’s doing,” Slim Thug said with a grin in a now-viral video clip. “You don’t play two songs from a man like that unless you feeling him a little bit.”
The comment sent social media into a frenzy. While some found it funny, the overwhelming reaction was pure secondhand embarrassment. “She danced to Houston music, not you, big bro,” one user clowned. “It’s giving ‘uncle at the BBQ’ energy.”
Still, the moment sparked conversation around Megan’s deep ties to Houston culture, Slim Thug’s legacy, and the ever-watchful gaze of the internet—ready to roast anyone who dares misread a moment. And at the heart of it all? Coachella, the place where artists make history and some folks apparently shoot their shot.
Slim Thug: From H-Town Hero to “She Feeling Me” Theorist
While Megan represents Houston’s new wave, Slim Thug is one of the city’s original rap ambassadors.
Stayve Jerome Thomas, better known as Slim Thug, gained national fame in the early 2000s. After years of building his buzz locally through mixtapes and features, he broke through with his verse on Mike Jones’ 2004 smash “Still Tippin’,” a track that put Houston’s chopped-and-screwed style on the mainstream map. That same year, he collaborated with Beyoncé on “Check On It,” introducing his baritone flow to a pop audience.
His 2005 debut album Already Platinum reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and included hits produced by The Neptunes. But unlike many of his peers, Slim Thug remained fiercely independent, releasing much of his work under his Boss Hogg Outlawz imprint. He’s respected in the city for staying true to his roots, supporting other Houston artists, and giving back to the community.
However, Slim Thug has also made headlines for eyebrow-raising comments—especially regarding women. He’s gone viral in the past for saying he prefers “natural” women and suggesting that Black women are less submissive in relationships. These remarks, combined with his recent Megan comments, have some fans wondering if he’s living in a fantasy.
Megan Thee Stallion: A Houston Hottie in Her Prime
Megan Thee Stallion is having a moment—again. But this time, it hits different. After surviving public scrutiny, court drama, and industry betrayal, she’s back on top—and doing it on her own terms.
Born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, the rapper grew up in South Park, Houston, raised by her late mother and former rapper Holly Thomas, known as Holly-Wood. Megan’s rise was meteoric: viral freestyles in college, a breakout mixtape, and soon a Billboard chart takeover. By 2020, she was already dominating the industry with hits like “Savage,” “Hot Girl Summer,” and her Cardi B collab “WAP.”
But her career took a personal toll after a 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Tory Lanez, which led to years of online abuse, victim-blaming, and legal battles. In 2023, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison, and Megan took a hiatus from music to heal—emotionally and spiritually.
She returned in full force with the 2024 diss track “HISS,” a scathing lyrical assault that secured her first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track not only silenced her doubters but reignited beef with Nicki Minaj, who responded with her own diss—though critics widely felt Megan held her own.
By 2025, Megan released her self-titled album Megan, which showcases her evolution. The album features club-ready anthems, introspective lyrics about loss and betrayal, and heavy-hitting production that blends her Southern roots with global appeal.
And her Coachella 2025 performance? It was a full-on victory lap.
What Is Coachella—and Why Does It Matter?
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival isn’t just a concert—it’s a cultural institution. Held annually over two weekends in Indio, California, Coachella has become the ultimate stage for artists looking to debut new music, collaborate with surprise guests, or stamp their name in pop culture.
Founded in 1999, Coachella has evolved from a rock-oriented indie fest into a global phenomenon that includes every genre imaginable: pop, rap, EDM, reggaetón, Afrobeat, and even K-pop. Fashion brands, influencers, and celebrities turn out in droves, making the festival a breeding ground for viral moments and career-defining performances.
For Black women in hip-hop, Coachella has also become a major visibility platform. Beyoncé’s legendary 2018 Beychella performance—where she became the first Black woman to headline—set the bar high. Megan Thee Stallion, who made her Coachella debut in 2022, has only upped the ante with each return.
So when Megan played Slim Thug’s songs during her 2025 set, it wasn’t some subtle flirt—it was a powerful nod to her city, her influences, and the chopped-and-screwed sound that raised her.
Fans React: “This Is Why We Can’t Be Nice”
The internet wasted no time clowning Slim Thug for misinterpreting what most saw as a professional homage.
“She gave you two minutes of music, and now you think it’s a love letter?” one TikTok user laughed. Another tweeted, “Megan shouted out Houston, not your DMs.”
Still, some fans gave him credit for making a playful comment rather than a serious pass. “Let that man dream,” one user joked. “At least he’s not in her inbox like the rest of y’all.”
And while the jokes flew, so did the praise for Megan’s set—many highlighting how she used her platform to spotlight Houston legends, including not just Slim Thug, but also DJ Screw, UGK, and Big Moe, all of whom were sonically referenced throughout the performance.
Megan’s Message: “I’m Houston, Forever and Always”
What Megan does better than almost anyone is bridge the gap between homage and reinvention. She doesn’t just name-drop legends—she brings them into her universe. Dancing to Slim Thug wasn’t about attraction; it was about affiliation. She is the heir to the throne they built.
And let’s be real: Megan’s not exactly pressed for male attention. She’s beautiful, successful, and currently thriving on a Hot Girl spiritual journey that leaves no room for unsolicited uncle energy. Whether she responds or not, one thing is clear—she’s moved on from needing validation from anyone. Megan is in her own lane, driving full speed, and Slim Thug is just another eager admirer.
