Megan Thee Stallion is shutting down the drama and setting the record straight on the Met Gala chatter.
The internet has been buzzing with rumors that Megan Thee Stallion got banned from the Met Gala after using her phone to record content inside the ultra-exclusive fashion event – a known no-no under Anna Wintour’s rule. But Megan’s not having it.
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE on May 13, Megan Thee Stallion addressed the viral gossip and made it clear she’s not banned from the Met Gala. “No. We’re gonna dead these rumors right now, OK?” she said. “People are like, ‘Oh my God, Megan, you got banned from the Met Gala.’ No, I didn’t, babe. Like that’s not true.”
She continued, “Y’all made that up and ran with it. They love making [stuff] up. Anna [Wintour] loves me, babe. That’s why my phone was out.” That’s right – no beef, no ban, just Megan being Megan and documenting the glam life in real time.
The Megan Thee Stallion Met Gala rumors started swirling after she posted clips from inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5. The clips showed her hanging out with fellow stars like Doechii and WNBA champ Angel Reese while sampling food from the gala. In one video, Megan even cheekily said, “We’re not supposed to have our phones, but we’re doing it anyway.” That moment sparked the internet frenzy – but clearly, there’s no consequence behind the scenes.

And let’s not forget the look. Megan showed up and showed out in a custom Michael Kors gown that brought full sparkle power and major cleavage energy. Draped in a white fur coat and rocking a massive tiered ponytail inspired by Josephine Baker, she totally owned the night’s “Tailored for You” theme.
Talking about the hairstyle, Megan joked, “I wear at least 10-pound wigs all the time. I put a lot of bundles in my hair, so my neck is pretty strong.” She even laughed, “I’m surprised my neck doesn’t have abs.” Lightweight work for a Hot Girl.
Megan Thee Stallion Met Gala rumors might have dominated some headlines, but the rapper didn’t let that take away from her big week. Aside from squashing fake gossip, she also shared details about her brand-new collaboration with Airbnb. Megan’s Otaku Hottie Quest Experience is about to take 12 lucky fans into her anime-fueled world on June 12, and it sounds wild in the best way.
The immersive experience will feature cosplay outfit selections, Mortal Kombat 1 battles on Xbox Series X, ramen (because obviously), and even hot lava. Megan herself will be there in full Hot Girl glory, giving out charms to help fans level up their Otaku Hottie status. “I really just like that they’re gonna get to experience all the things that I like, and what I would be doing on a normal Megan Thee Stallion day – and the Hotties get to come do it with me,” she said.
Fans can request to book the Otaku Hottie Quest at airbnb.com/megantheestallion from May 13 until May 20 at 11:30 p.m. PT.
So no, Megan Thee Stallion is not banned from the Met Gala. She’s just out here living her best life, posting selfies, rocking heavyweight ponytails, and inviting fans into her anime daydream. Haters can log off now.
