Rapper Megan Thee Stallion brought her A-game as she hosted the MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old started the evening in a one-shoulder leotard, giving off vibes of an Olympic gymnast. She even joked about borrowing the outfit from gold medalist Simone Biles and making a few changes, humorously claiming, “I deserve a gold medal for being a bad bitch.”
The VMAs marked their 40th anniversary by revisiting some memorable moments from the past. Megan decided to pay tribute herself by appearing with a real snake in honor of Britney Spears’ iconic 2001 performance, complete with Spears’ signature outfit.
During her performance, Megan held the snake briefly before asking for the music to be turned off and the snake to be taken away. She humorously exclaimed, “I’m just playing. Come get this snake. I don’t know this snake. This snake don’t know me.” She then added, “I tried to hold it down for Britney.”
Megan wowed the audience with a medley of songs like “BOA,” “B.A.S,” and “Hiss.” She also performed her latest hit single, “Mamushi,” from her recent album “Megan,” bringing out Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba as the featured artist. Megan introduced Yuki to the audience, shouting, “All the way from Japan for the first time, Yuki!”
In one of her many costume changes throughout the night, Megan took the stage in her attire from the recent Gladiator II-inspired Pepsi ad.
