By some miracle, Megan Thee Stallion has only just discovered Sex and the City. During an appearance on The Tonight Show, the rapper revealed that she recently watched the HBO series, which stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattral.
“Nobody told me Sex and the City was this good?” Stallion told Fallon. “I’m pissed. 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 fuck. Her hair, her shoes, her outfits were always so beautiful.”
She continued, “And I was like, ‘What is this show?’ Let me just watch it, let me get into it because nobody put me on. So I started watching the show and I’m like, I cannot look away. This is the best thing! 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?”
Fallon informed Megan that there are two movies, as well, in case she wants to keep following the characters. “I have not watched the movie yet because everybody keeps saying, ‘No Megan.’ Because 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,’” she said. “And I say, ‘OK, take me there because I don’t understand what’s happening.’”
Megan then agreed to offer her review of each character on the show, starting with Samantha.
“When Sex and the City first started for me, I said, ‘Oh, I hate this character,’” she explained. “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 then as the show kept going, I was like, ‘OK, hold on. Wait a minute.’ 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, like 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. And I’m like, yes, I did that.”
She also enjoys Charlotte, saying, “She is a little delulu, but it’s cute. She would be my bestie because she’s so emotional and I feel like it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to be a little crazy.” Not so much with Miranda. “Miranda, this is the worst character on the show. I cannot stand Miranda,” Megan confirmed. “She never got nothing good to say. She’s so sad all the time.”
She added. “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.”
Last but not least was Carrie, who Megan also likes a lot. “Her hair is good, her makeup is great. I’m pretty sure this dress is great paired with a pair of Manolos. Like she’s always attractive, doing these sick old things,” Megan told Fallon. “She’s nuts. 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? 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?”
Elsewhere on the late-night show, Megan discussed her recent album, Megan II, and her forthcoming documentary, In Her Words. The documentary is set to air Oct. 31 on Amazon Prime Video and sees the rapper reflecting on a difficult period in her life.
“Through that whole period of my life I was going through some crazy stuff and I feel like a lot of people dehumanized me,” she told Fallon. “People were chiming in on my life… So to have my story told by so many people who weren’t me? I thought it was kind of nuts.” She explained she wanted to have control of her narrative and for people to know her “not just as Megan Thee Stallion.”
