On top of features that will &#8220;gag&#8221; the collective as well as satisfy niche interests of her fan community, Megan shared what fans can expect from this new era.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tina is grown now, babe,&#8221; she said. &#8220;She has been through lots of life since y&#8217;all heard from her last. And I have so many collaborations that I feel like the hotties have been asking me for [&#8230;] that are overdue. I feel like Act III is going to be one of my favorite projects I ever put out because I definitely took my time with this one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also wants to get into acting, and named Queen Latifah as the person she wants to model her career after.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always got to give her always got to give her her flowers because she is just so inspirational, yes!&#8221; she proclaimed. &#8220;And I&#8217;m like, okay, Queen Latifah, this is my route. This is who I&#8217;m modeling this after.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the conversation, Megan got candid about struggling with her mental health for a while and hiding from the world. But now that she&#8217;s feeling better, she takes precautions to avoid being pulled back down into negativity, and that includes keeping most social media off of her phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I definitely had to realize, okay, what is triggering me, what upset me, what&#8217;s making me feel sad, and how can I control my own emotions?&#8221; she said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t have Twitter, I don&#8217;t have Instagram on my phone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the full interview below.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Watch Megan Thee Stallion Get Candid With Michelle Obama<\/h3>\n<p><h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">See Rappers and Hip-Hop Executives With a Key to the City <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"branded-app-shortcode-inarticle\">\n<div class=\"logo-wrap\" rel=\"fwef\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/site\/252\/files\/2022\/01\/attachment-popcrush-1.jpg?w=100\" alt=\"PopCrush logo\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/popcrush.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=63&#038;gver=10&#038;bid=252&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DQt0jyGgiLtltNrdtnDzncATqSK9PT5Eib9iw&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Megan Thee Stallion had a candid sit-down with former First Lady Michelle Obama this week, where she opened up about her new album, limiting social media for mental health, looking to Queen Latifah as a career blueprint and more.
