Dot Miller decided to revisit his Rap Radar Podcast episode featuring the Houston rapper. During the conversation, they talked about a particular project at the time that would be featuring her Hot Girl Meg persona. Miller asked her if Q-Tip would be involved in that project, and Thee Stallion replied, “Q-Tip is an album thing,” she revealed to B.Dot and Elliott Wilson. “Yeah, that’s definitel...
