Megan Thee Stallion is working on a new project
The 31-year-old rap star has joined forces with Carl Jones, who created the animated series The Boondocks, to work on the project, and Megan is relishing the experience.
Speaking to InStyle, Megan shared: “I was like, ‘Carl, I want my own anime-style series and I wouldn’t want to do it with anybody else other than you.’”
The rapper has embraced the challenge of working outside of her comfort zone.
She said: “I’m voicing my own character. Going in the studio and being Megan Thee Stallion, like, I can record something and I know what voice I’m going to do it in. Boom. This is what it sounds like over the track. That is easy. But voice acting for a character is really different.
“When I saw it back the first time, I was like, Oh hell no. I did that way too dry. I got to be more animated. I got to make my inflection different here and there. I’ve been having a lot of fun doing my voice acting.”
Meanwhile, Nneka Onuorah previously hailed Megan as the “definition of strength”.
The director helmed the rap star’s Prime Video documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, and Nneka subsequently praised the “resilience” of the Mamushi hitmaker.
Nneka told TIME: “Most of us say we’re strong, but we’ve never had millions of people every day lying on us, saying negative things about us.
“I commend Megan for her resilience throughout this process to still come out on top. She truly is the definition of strength to me.”
Megan was shot in the foot by rapper Tory Lanez in July 2020, and she opened up about her struggles in the documentary.
Nneka believes that Megan’s story is still “so relatable” – despite her fame and success.
Nneka said: “This film is Megan’s open book into her heart during one of the hardest times of her life.
“It highlights how grief and depression can take a toll on your life and your experiences. There’s so much grief in the world right now, which is why I feel like this story is so relatable.”
