"making her the first.."
that record label is barely known and started operations in mid 2010s. and is worded like an achievement. is it lead worthy because XXL put in in a text? cc:. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 02:37, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I disagree that the record label is barely known as it is notable enough to have its own Wikipedia page. It is notable that she is the first woman to be signed to the label because it was mentioned in multiple RS that I found when I created the page. Yes, facts about being the first to do something contribute to notability. --Citrivescence (talk) 03:32, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Megan Thee Stallion → Megan thee Stallion – Per WP:MOS/Music, the definite article "thee" need not be capitalized here. Megan thee Stallion herself and her record label do typically use the uppercase, but the current name of the article on Tyler, the Creator suggests that the artist's personal stylization of such articles is irrelevant; see the Talk page on that article. The existing, older article names on Disturbing tha Peace and Alex da Kid suggest that the rule would still apply for intentionally misspelled articles such as "tha" and "da," so I see no exception for "thee." Mhavril39 (talk) 17:06, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose Overwhelmingly clear common name per sources (not to mention it seems a stretch to argue that we should take an intentional misspelling of a word and try to apply uncommonly used styling to it in contrast to both primary send secondary sources). It's the sort of silly overthinking that makes Wikipedia lose credibility by running counter to the reliable sources it relies upon -- the sort of thing that for years had us put an article like RZA at title no one uses. And as our manual of style makes clear, we should defer to usage as used in a clear overwhelming majority of reliable sources.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:14, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Normally I’m to the nail on the Manual of Style, but in the case of Meg it just messes up the quality of the article. It looks like an itch you can’t scratch. Trillfendi (talk) 21:10, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 * If Catherine Thee Great starts up a rapping career though I'll thoroughly enjoy it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 23:38, 14 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I agree with Yaksar, and caps for each word are used in each of these recent headlines from generally reliable sources: 1 2 3 I think your argument would only work if "Thee" was a determiner word in modern English. Citrivescence (talk) 04:16, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

 * 'Strongly Oppose Agreed with Mhavril39
 * Oppose. Per WP:TITLE, article titles are based on what the subject is called in reliable sources, and I've yet to see a single source that doesn't capitalize Thee. As the nominator notes, both the artist and record label use Thee. If we were in the practice of "correcting" proper names, bell hooks would be capitalized. gobonobo  + c 17:49, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

1.) When her name is entered in google, it says "American songwriter" instead of "American rapper" so I need this corrected 2.) She frequently sings and has stated she would love to release an R & B mixtape sometime in the future, so its only fitting that "singer" should be added to her bio. 3.) Her musical influences are pimp c, three 6 mafia, biggie smallz, beyonce, lil kim and her mother, Holly so this needs to be adjusted on her page. Chybub (talk) 19:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)


 * ❌ Her description here is "American rapper from Texas" so I am not sure where Google is pulling that information from. Multiple reliable sources would have to refer to her as a singer and we would need to confirm that she is as notable for singing as she is for her other occupations.  The majority of the artists listed are present and sourced in the "artistry" section already, sources would have to be provided before any additions are made.

Artistry & influences
Should the artistry & influences section say "Megan Thee Stallion has named Pimp C, The Notorious B.I.G, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Three 6 Mafia, Pimp C, and Lil' Kim as some of her biggest influences"? The rest of the paragraph implies that Stallion is both influenced by Beyonce and Minaj, with multiple reliable sources to back it up. Here's a GQ video with Stallion saying that she has been influenced by Beyonce, and a Teen Vogue video with Stallion saying straight from her mouth that she has been inspired by Minaj. Both of these reliable sources are statements from Stallion that she has been influenced by both these female artists. Pinging multiple editors I see on this talk page: Thank you. shanghai. talk to me 08:31, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I don’t see anything wrong with the current revision (this). The only change I’d make is move the sentence about Minaj to after the one about her other inspirations so all the inspirations are in the same part of the paragraph.  Otherwise the information is there already.  It’s got a professional encyclopedic tone and is properly sourced.  I don’t see the need to further change it.  CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 14:17, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The issue is for some reason it doesn't state outright that Megan has been inspired by Beyonce despite the rest of the paragraph implying that she has been inspired by Beyonce. The current revision already says "Stallion was influenced by Pimp C", then says that she admires his talk-rap delivery. In a similar tone, the change I'm proposing to make is to say that Stallion was inspired by Beyonce and Nicki, because the next few sentences are words straight from Stallion's mouth saying she's been influenced by Beyonce and Nicki. The sources and tone is good, I'm not proposing to modify that.
 * The artistry section dodges specifically saying "Stallion has been influenced by Beyonce and Nicki", despite the next few sentences implying otherwise. Those sentences are fine; just say that she was inspired by both of them, since this seems obvious from the sources. shanghai. talk to me 15:22, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I think I'm getting a little confused. You seem to want more to be said about Beyonce as an influence? Or the opposite? Beyonce is listed in that sentence so it's unclear to me what else should be said about that. What exactly are you proposing to add? -Citrivescence (talk) 01:01, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Here is my proposed change to the "artistry and influence" paragraph, that properly mentions that she has been influenced by both Beyonce and Minaj.
 * Megan Thee Stallion cites her mother as her first and biggest influence. She cites Pimp C, The Notorious B.I.G, Beyoncé, Three 6 Mafia, Nicki Minaj, and Lil' Kim as some of her other biggest influences, and credits Q-Tip as her mentor. She admires Pimp C's talk-rap delivery and "cockiness", and stating that she wants to inspire the same confidence that the rapper does through his music. At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards in her Best Rap Song acceptance speech with Beyoncé, she said: "Ever since I was little, I was like, 'you know what? One day, I'm gonna grow up and I'm gonna be like the rap Beyoncé.' That was definitely my goal. [...] I love her work ethic, I love the way she is, I love the way she carries herself.'" On Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion said: "Nicki, she was here before us, so this is who we had to look at, at this time. So, definitely [she] has been an inspiration to me."
 * The point is that Beyonce and Minaj are mentioned in the "She cites x, y, z as her biggest influences" sentence because of the multiple sources backing it up. Just say it clearly, plain and simple. shanghai. talk to me 05:45, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

"Tory Lanez" subheading
Hello! Given the fact that the "Tory Lanez" subheading goes on to describe a singular incident and subsequent consequences, wouldn't it be more appropriate to put a specific heading to acknowledge the severity of the situation, for instance, "Tory Lanez shooting incident" or even "allegations", although given the ongoing trial process, it's an interesting choices of words, in my opinion. If anyone has any alternatives, feel free to list them here.--Bettydaisies (talk) 22:56, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't believe it should have "Tory Lanez" in it at all. Getting shot is traumatizing and if Megan was to read that the only heading under her personal life was "Tory Lanez", the man who assaulted her, I think she would be upset at the very least. I would like to propose changing the heading to "Shooting Incident" or "Assault". Sorry if this is the improper convention for suggesting a change. user: sarahna3m — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:2800:8170:C90C:FF61:5A20:2F0E (talk) 18:23, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

"thee" Vs "the"
The article incorrectly states:

'She adopted the stage name "Megan Thee Stallion" because she was called a "stallion" in adolescence due to her height (5′10″ or 178 cm) and "thick" body frame'

However, this does not fully explain why 'the' is miss-spelled' as 'thee'. Thus the reason given is only partial. It would be more accurate to reword the statement as:

'She adopted the stage name "Megan Thee Stallion" partly because she was called a "stallion" in adolescence due to her height (5′10″ or 178 cm) and "thick" body frame'.

An explanation of the mis-spelling is still warranted. E.g. Is it a result of poor education? Is it a mistake that was made when the name was first used and which has been adopted since? Is it a deliberate miss-spelling as an attempt to attract publicity? Etc. 81.131.103.252 (talk) 06:40, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Troy Lanez name uniformity
The personal life section identifies Lanez as Daystar Peterson, but goes back and forth with which name he is identified by in the text which follows. This makes for a very confusing read—not sure which follows Wikipedia naming standards, but it needs to be corrected to reference him under a single name. 2601:3CA:204:F860:44C0:46C1:5738:7330 (talk) 04:58, 9 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed. It took several rereads to figure out that both "Lanez" and "Peterson" are the same person. "Tory Lanez" is his most commonly used name and the title of his Wikipedia article, so in the text he should be referenced as "Lanez".

 * Please read WP:BLP and WP:RS. An accusation of this nature will need to be backed up by reliable, independent third party sources to be included on the article. If you have said sources, please provide them. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 17:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well are these reliable sources? https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/megan-thee-stallion-accused-harassment-cameraman-said-was-forced-watch-rcna148895 https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2024-04-23/megan-thee-stallion-roc-nation-lawsuit-emilio-garcia-harassment-pay NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 05:00, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The lawsuit is not a sexual abuse lawsuit. It is an employment lawsuit that alleges Megan's management company incorrectly classified Garcia as an independent contractor. The libelous claim of sexual abuse needs to be removed immediately. StarlightCalliope (talk) 18:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well the suit claims that he was forced to watch Megan and another woman have sex, which when you look up the definition of a sexual abuse, this seems to fit it. and also, he alleges that she told him to "Not tell anyone about this", which is another crime in of itself. But Garcia also claims that he was underpaid and overworked, and also alleges that he was fat shamed. I am extremely surprised that I was the first one to bring this stuff up considering when you just google "Megan Thee Stallion" right now, articles talking about this case are at the top.

 * Consider letting someone else write about the lawsuit because you seem inclined to write about what you think happened, and not what the lawsuit is actually about. I cannot make any changes myself as the article is semi-protected and my account is too new. StarlightCalliope (talk) 15:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, I get that calling this 'sexual abuse' is considered libelous, but the LA Times article quotes from Emilio Garcia's lawyer "Emilio should have never been put in a position of having to be in a vehicle with her while she had sex with another woman. 'Inappropriate' is putting it lightly. Exposing this behavior to employees is definitely illegal." I am not trying to argue that this is what happened, I am just pointing out what I found.

 * The actual court document can be read here. https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24602200/emilio-garcia-v-roc-nation-megan-thee-stallion-full-complaint.pdf Court reporter Meghann Cuniff has self-published her thoughts on the lawsuit here. https://www.legalaffairsandtrials.com/p/reporters-notebook-megan-thee-stallion StarlightCalliope (talk) 15:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The opinions of a court reporter are irrelevant, especially prior to hearings. She is not the judge assigned to the case. Instantwatym (talk) 18:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Did I not state that it is a self-published opinion piece? StarlightCalliope (talk) 20:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You brought the opinion piece up for a reason though; as if it some relevance to the lawsuit but it does not. The lawsuit and allegations should be included in the article per WP:DUE. I will add it to the legal disputes section with a seperate subheading in due time. Instantwatym (talk) 15:31, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
