Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion says she is determined to use her platform to better the environment. That includes promoting a vegan lifestyle.
In an interview with HotSpotATL, Megan talks about how she first took an interest in going green.
Megan Thee Stallion Dishes On Going Green
“In high school, I was in this environmental science class, so that’s when I started learning about the environment and what was going on,” she said.
“When I graduated I never really thought about it again — I would try to conserve though — but when one of my Hotties came she was like, “Hey Megan, I know it’s a Hot Girl Summer, but can we talk about global warming … I was like, ‘you know what: Sis, tell us what we need to do.”
Megan says she’s been considering giving up meat as well.
“I’ve been eating a lot of vegan food lately, but i’m really on the vegetarian boat right now. Vegan is kind of hard, I love cheese.”
See the interview below:

Update June15, 2019: Comedian and movie star Tiffany Haddish has canceled her planned performance at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta over the state’s “heartbeat” bill.
The actress sent a statement to ticketholders saying that “After much deliberation, I am postponing my upcoming show in Atlanta. I love the state of Georgia, but I need to stand with women and until they withdraw Measure HB481, I cannot in good faith perform there.”
The controversial heartbeat bill will go into effect January 1, 2020 unless lawmakers reverse course. Critics fear the state’s film industry will be gutted if the bill becomes law.
