Megan Thee Stallion turns into a snake in one of her videos, but that didn’t matter to a real snake that didn’t see eye-to-eye with her during the VMAs.
The Houston artist who has dropped records named “HISS,” “Cobra,” and “BOA” had a hilarious moment with an actual snake while hosting the VMAs on Wednesday night.
Paying tribute to Britney Spears’ iconic 2001 VMAs performance of her song “Im A Slave 4 U,” Thee Stallion rocked a similar look, including an albino Burmese python wrapped around her, just like Spears, who danced with the reptile briefly before handing it off.
Spears admitted she was “scared” during the performance. Fast-forward to this year’s VMAs, Megan Thee Stallion can also relate to Spears’ feelings.
In her attempt to relive that moment, Thee Stallion quickly realized she and the snake would not get along.
“OK. OK. Stop the music, stop the music. I’m just playin’. Come get this snake,” Megan Thee Stallion shouted as handlers came and relieved her of the snake.
“I don’t know this snake. This snake don’t know me. Oh my god. I tried to hold it down for Britney.”
That was the only hiccup in what was a great night for Megan Thee Stallion, who hosted this year’s VMAs, performed, and won two awards: “Trending Video” for the latest smash hit, “Mamushi,” featuring Yuki Chiba, and “Art Direction” for “BOA.”
She also gave the hotties what they wanted with a medley performance of “BOA,” “HISS,” “B.A.S,” “Mamushi,” and more.
Megan Thee Stallion also closed out the night urging people to vote. Unlike many others in her profession, she has been very vocal in supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, performing at a rally in Atlanta and calling out people who will sit out this presidential election in a recent Billboard cover story.
