Megan Thee Stallion Shows Off Her Calvins in New Campaign

Kevin Schattenkirk READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Megan Thee Stallion is modeling underwear in a new Calvin Klein ad, Nylon reports.

The "Captain Hook" rapper told Vogue that she had long dreamed of modeling for the iconic brand. "When I grew up, I was like, 'one day, I want to [model for Calvin Klein]–I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I want to do it.' In high school, I would definitely wear my pants a little low sometimes, so that people could see my Calvin Klein underwear," she said. "And to be a part of it now as Megan Thee Stallion, I'm like, wow, things really come full circle. I told myself I'd be on a Calvin Klein billboard and that actually happened. I'm so grateful."

In 2019, the provocative rapper responded – for a second time – to unearthed homophobic tweets from her teenage years. According to a Twitter user, one of the rapper's tweets from 2011 said, "This lil faggot just pissed me off." In 2018, she responded by posting to Twitter, "I grew up& learned how to not be insensitive. I don't judge anyone I accept everyone as they are no matter their color or sexual preference."

A year later, when the issue resurfaced, Megan Thee Stallion tweeted, "You going this far over a tweet from 2012 ? that obviously meant no harm coming from me in high school, you mfs are sick."

She followed up with another tweet, "I've already apologized for tweets that obviously do not represent my views now. I don't do nothing but show love to everyone so just stop."


In August 2020, Megan Thee Stallion said on Instagram Live she was "I'm looking for a new girlfriend if anybody trying to be a hot girl. I like little petite tings with tattoos, that's my type.

"I like Spanish girls with big old asses, petite Black girls and thick Spanish girls."

Despite expressing an interest in women, Megan Thee Stallion hasn't publically defined her sexual orientation.

Megan Thee Stallion collaborated with Cardi B on last year's smash hit "WAP." She's also been nominated for four Grammy Awards, including one for Best New Artist. She told Vogue she's in "disbelief," saying I cannot believe I'm this girl from Houston who really made it. Me and my mom used to always talk about me being at the Grammys, and she'd tell me that I'm going to win a Grammy. And I'd always be thinking, that's so far away–that's so farfetched. To actually be here, I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna make my mom proud."

The 25-year-old rapper also hinted at the possibility she's making new music: "Everybody has been waiting for Tina Snow [her alter ego] to come back, so my girl may be popping up soon."
