The rapper also said she needs to be added to the core four to “be the voice of reason.”
And as Megan Thee Stallion watched Sex and the City for the very first time, she couldn’t help but wonder: Why had nobody told her the show was so outrageously good?
The “Mamushi” rapper has declared her love for the HBO series and didn’t hold back when sharing her thoughts on its core four characters — played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon — while visiting The Tonight Show on Thursday.
“I’m pissed,” she said. “Nobody said, ‘Megan, you should be watching Sex and the City. Girl, this for the culture. Watch it!’ I don’t even know how I, like, stumbled upon it. I think I just kept seeing, like, pictures of Sarah Jessica looking pretty as f—.”
Well, she finally took the time to figure out what all the fuss was about. “I started watching the show and I’m like, ‘I cannot look away,'” she said. “I’m watching it while I’m working out, I’m watching it while I’m in glam, I’m watching it when I don’t have nothing else to do, and I’m a busy girl. I’m, like, squeezing Sex and the City in there. And I’m, like, asking everybody, ‘Have you seen Sex and the City?'”
Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon then revealed that after finishing the show, which aired for six seasons from 1998 until 2004, Megan will have to watch its two follow-up films, Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2, plus its revival series, And Just Like That.
“This is a new development: I have not watched the movie yet,” Megan confessed. “The way Sex and the City ended, you know, I was a little upset, and they said, ‘No, no, no, no, no, you have to watch the movie.’ And I say, ‘Okay, take me there because I don’t understand what’s happening.'”
Fallon then asked Megan for her take on each of the core four, beginning with Cattrall’s Samantha. “Is this not a picture of me?” Megan asked the crowd. “She is me. I am her. This is real, because I literally just finished watching this. When Sex and the City first started for me, I said, ‘Oh, I hate this character.’ Like, ‘Why are y’all making her, like, oh my God, sex is like the ruler of my life?’ And it’s like, ‘I’m just so desperate.’ I was like, ‘This is horrible. This is a horrible character.'”
But as she continued to watch the show, her perspective on Samantha’s behavior began to change. “I’m glad I hung in there, because she runs men. Like, she does not let men run her, and she keeps trying to tell the girls, ‘Stop making the man the center of your life. Like, go shopping, have a good time, make your money, and then have fun with your little toys,'” she said. “And I’m like, ‘Yes, I get that!’ When I say it, it’s an issue!”
Megan went on to describe Charlotte as “a little delulu,” but added that it was cute. “She would be my bestie because she’s so emotional, and I feel like it’s okay to cry,” she said. “It’s okay to be a little crazy. She might be a Cancer in the show; her character has to be a Cancer. I’m sorry, Cancers, but y’all are very emotional, and I feel like Cancers and Aquarius go together very well… She would be my bestie because I would really have to talk her down off a lot of these crazy thoughts.”
She added, “You know what was wrong in that friend group? Nobody never told her, ‘Charlotte, you’re tripping. You’re not really thinking clear.’ They just was letting her do this crazy stuff. She needs me. I need to be added to this group so I can be the voice of reason.”
The Grammy winner had a physical reaction to seeing Nixon’s character, Miranda, before quickly labelling her the “worst character” on the show. “I cannot stand Miranda. She never got nothing good to say,” Megan said. “She’s so sad all the time.”
Even worse? Miranda was mean to her partner Steve, played by David Eigenberg. “First of all, Steve is the best character on the show,” Megan declared. “How could anybody even fix their lips to be mean to Steve? And Miranda figured out a way to be mean to Steve! The only thing Steve ever wanted to do was love this crazy lady.”
“She’s always attractive, doing these sicko things. She’s nuts,” Megan said. “But you know what? I see a lot of myself in this character. Like, Carrie really loved drama. Like, she would literally wake up and figure out: ‘How can I mess up everybody’s day? How can I be my cutest messing up everybody’s day? How can I make my life more complicated?'”
The rapper continued, “Simply, she could have always made the right choice. She could have chosen sanity, but she always chose insanity. And then I had to wonder, ‘Is that me?'”
Parker later reacted to Megan’s hot girl takes about the series on social media, simply commenting on an Instagram post by Evan Ross Katz, “Hmmmm….”
