Summer ‘19 belongs to none other than Megan Thee Stallion! Not only did she just drop her anticipated mixtape Fever, she is the first of four covers to be revealed for The FADER’s Summer Music Issue.

In the issue, dropping next month, Megan talks with The FADER’s, Lawrence Burney, about how much her mother, Holly Thomas, inspires her, even after her untimely passing. She says:

“My momma wasn’t a weak person and she wasn’t a complainer. So I don’t wanna be like that…No matter what I’m going through, I still want to keep going,” she continued. “Just to show people you can still be strong and you can still face your everyday life. Even when everything coming down on you. I didn’t cancel none of my shows ‘cause I just knew — I know — how my momma is, and I know she wouldn’t want me to stop.”

Megan also talks about the struggles of double standards in male-dominated industry.

“And then being a girl too — they criticize you harder than they criticize men,” she says. “If I was out there making little noises like Uzi and Carti be making, they would not rock with that. And not saying that they don’t be going hard, because we definitely finna turn up to both of them, but if it was a chick, like — no.”

Megan’s issue of The FADER hits stores in June. To check out more of the issue online, check it out here.
