After her high-energy Coachella set lit up the stage two weekends in a row, Megan Thee Stallion took a moment to clear up some confusion—especially around fellow Houston rapper Slim Thug, who assumed her performance meant she had a crush on him. The internet quickly lit up with reactions after Slim Thug went on Instagram suggesting that Megan was sending him a flirtatious message by including two of his songs in her set.

But Megan wasn't having it. During her second performance at Coachella on April 20, she addressed his comments head-on: 'And no, Slim Thug, this don't mean I want you. I just like your music, babe,' she told the crowd while dancing to 'Still Tippin.' That simple statement quickly went viral and shut down the narrative.
Slim Thug had previously gone live on Instagram after her first weekend performance and speculated that Meg dancing to 'Thug From Around the Way' and 'Still Tippin' was a sign she wanted him. 'If that ain't a 'I want you, daddy' call, I don't know what is,' he said, adding that he believed it was just a matter of time before Megan hit him up while in Houston.
He didn't stop there either. In his livestream, Slim went on to say, 'I probably can't keep her… she a lot of energy. I can tell from the twerking. I can't pop a Viagra every day, but we can have a good time.' His comments sparked backlash online, with fans calling his behavior inappropriate and labeling him 'thirsty.' Some joked that his energy screamed, 'Where my hug at?'

Despite the drama, Megan is focused on her music. She recently announced her new single 'Whenever,' set to drop on April 25, as she steps into a new musical era.

'Beyond the Gates' Stars Reunite for Emotional Music Night with Jesse Ruben originally appeared on Parade. Some Beyond the Gates cast members came together this weekend for a night of music and celebration, as they supported singer-songwriter Jesse Ruben, who just so happens to be married to one of the break out stars of the soap opera, Jen Jacob. Actress Karla Mosley shared a photo on Instagram of actress Margot Bingham, herself, Mike Manning, Jesse Ruben and his wife Jen Jacob, Tamara Tunie and Jerri Tubbs. Mosley captioned the photo saying, 'What a GIFT to celebrate @ supremely talented husband @ nights like this that make me feel like it's all going to be ok. 💗Check out his music (I did) or have him bring his positive message to your kiddos' school (I'm gonna)! Your heart will thank you.(And special shout out to friend of all my friends @margotbingham for guesting and KILLING IT. I want to swim in your voice.)' Jacob replied to the post, commenting, 'I want to SWIM in @margotbingham voice yes!!!! @karlamose you have the most special heart. I wanna be you when I grow up ❤️' to which Mosley said, 'It's the absolute truth! ❤️' Manning commented, 'A perfect example of the healing power of art.' Ruben recently shared information about his 'The Let's Talk About It Tour' stating, 'After spending so long stuck in my apartment, it's been so great being back on the road. PA/NJ/CT you're up next, followed by Florida and Maine and then all over the place in the fall for the new album. Some of these are house shows so check my website or reach out to me to rsvp. Can't wait to see your faces! And let me know where I should play in the fall! Info and tix in my bio.' Earlier this year, Ruben shared a personal post reflecting on the past and being excited about the future, sharing, ''Better' is a word I have a really tough relationship with. About 18 months ago I posted that I would be taking a break from social media/life/music stuff to deal with health issues. But at that point it had already been going on for 2 years. I've been very hesitant to say this out loud, because I've gotten my hopes up before. But I'm finally is not a post about how all you have to do is think positive thoughts and you'll get better eventually. I don't believe that. I got better because after dozens of doctors and tens of thousands of dollars on testing and treatment, I finally (and extremely luckily) found something that people handle health issues with grace and hope. I am not one of them. This time around was way harder than last time. It was really scary. And lonely. And frustrating. All I wanted was to be a normal person again, and do normal person things. Take a walk. Go to the grocery store. Spend time with people. Sometimes I pushed myself to do those things when I shouldn't have. Sometimes (a lot of the time) I took it out on @ when she didn't deserve looking back, I can see now how many people showed up. Called to check on me. Came to New York to spend time with me. Paid for treatment when we couldn't afford it. I wouldn't have gotten through the last 3 years without it.I'm not gonna lie, it's very overwhelming to start all over again in Atlanta. But I cannot wait to get back to touring and writing and performing and releasing music and being with people and finding my team and being a person and a partner to Jen and a dog dad to @grahamsandwich, and to continue to help anyone impacted by Lyme disease with @generation_lyme, and to work with as many young people as possible with @ year, I won't be so precious. I'll be releasing a ton of songs, restarting my Patreon, finishing writing my musical, and just generally doing and seeing and traveling as much as I can. If you host a house concert series, or work with kids, or are getting married and want me to play, ASK and I'll make it work. I've missed being around people the most. I'm excited to be back. Love you guys.' Tickets for Ruben's tour can be found here.
