Before Megan Thee Stallion became one of the most beloved rappers in the industry, she auditioned for a role on VH1’s Love & Hip Hop series.

On Monday, the network shared a video clip from Meg’s audition, with commentary from some current Love & Hip Hop cast members, including Sukihana and Ray J.

“It’s Megan Thee Stallion AKA young Tina Snow AKA H-Town Hottie and I’m from Houston Texas and I’m just the best female rapper that’s poppin’ off right now,” Meg said in the video. “And on top of that, I’m a full-time college student.” Meg also talks about her late mother’s rapping and how she told her mother at 18 that she wanted to become an artist.

“Megan is gonna become a household name,” she continued. “When you’re talkin’ about those poppin’ rappers, I’m going to be in that conversation.” While VH1 ultimately decided not to invite the rapper to be on the show, Meg seemingly predicted her own career.

In other Meg-related news, the Good News rapper recently appeared to address Tory Lanez’s announcement of his DaBaby collab. Lanez took to Instagram to share a photo of him and DaBaby on what looks to be a video shoot. While Meg’s fans were upset, she came to DaBaby’s defense, tweeting, “That shit was old and not cleared.” She also teased the impending arrival of her “Cry Baby” video with the Charlotte native.

Lil Baby’s My Turn album helped fuel the Atlanta native’s rise into the upper echelon of rap’s next generation of superstars and played a major role in Baby putting forth a banner 2020 campaign. On January 7, Neilsen Music/MRC Data revealed My Turn was 2020’s most popular album throughout all genres in the United States.

My Turn earned 2.63 million total album-equivalent units for the project to take the top spot over Taylor Swift’s Folklore at No. 2 (2.204 million). Baby’s sophomore album was also the most-streamed effort of the year with the collection of tracks, banking 3.93 billion streams during 2020. However, the LP has only sold about 40,000 copies in traditional album sales.

Rap was well represented across the Top 10. Behind Baby and T-Swift saw Pop Smoke’s posthumous debut Shoot For The Stars, Aim For the Moon (No. 3/2.198 million), Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die (No. 5/1.990 million), Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding (No. 6/1.895 million), Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake (No. 7/1.860 million) and Roddy Ricch’s Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial (No. 8/1.792 million) round out the list.

The Quality Control rapper unleashed My Turn on February 28 last year. The album debuted atop the Billboard 200 with roughly 197,000 total album-equivalent units and held the No. 1 spot for five nonconsecutive weeks. My Turn reportedly raked in over $19 million during the year and became the first 2020 project to go multi-platinum.

According to Billboard, Hip-Hop/R&B was responsible for over 30 percent of all on-demand song streams in 2020, which is the largest of any genre in music.

Find the entire Top 10 list of albums below.

1. Lil Baby, My Turn (2.632 million)
2. Taylor Swift, Folklore (2.204 million)
3. Pop Smoke, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon (2.198 million)
4. The Weeknd, After Hours (2.032 million)
5. Juice WRLD, Legends Never Die (1.990 million)
6. Post Malone, Hollywood’s Bleeding (1.895 million)
7. Lil Uzi Vert, Eternal Atake (1.860 million)
8. Roddy Ricch, Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial (1.792 million)
9. Harry Styles, Fine Line (1.522 million)
10. Luke Combs, What You See Is What You Get (1.475 million)

If his sophomore album is anything like Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, you can guarantee that just about everybody is ready for another full-length collection of music from Roddy Ricch.

The Compton rapper came onto the scene in a major way last year, proving all of his day one fans correctly by becoming one of the most buzz-worthy artists of the year. Despite not releasing a project in 2020, his late-2019 drop remains in rotation and was one of the best albums of the year. He has been described as one of rap’s MVPs of this year and, from the sounds of things, he’ll be taking over next year as well.

Landing in Atlanta, Roddy Ricch hopped out of the private jet and made a major declaration, claiming to be in “album mode” and getting us all riled up. Considering the fact that he’s working on the album right now, we can possibly expect a release in 2021, perhaps when the world is a little more normal. 

Roddy was recently featured on the “Lemonade” remix, which has been dominating the charts globally for the last few weeks.
