Megan Thee Stallion, the American rapper and cultural icon announced her very own anime series, set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video. The thrilling reveal happened on 30 May at DreamCon, a major convention celebrating anime and pop culture. Megan, dressed as Yoruichi Shihōin from the hit anime Bleach , took the stage and dropped the big news, sending waves of excitement through the crowd. The rapper teamed up with Carl Jones, the creative mind behind The Boondocks , to bring this unique project to life, according to Complex. 'You ain't never seen an anime like this ever in your life,' Megan teased, keeping the plot details under wraps but promising something fresh and original.

The line featured graphic tees, hoodies, and tote bags, all inspired by her animated music video for 'Savage.' In an interview with Crunchyroll that year, Megan Thee Stallion said, 'I'm half anime character, half rapper. I like how you see a character start off weak, then grow through trials and training. You meet new people who help you become who you're meant to be. I apply that to my life a lot.' PASSION FOR STORYTELLING Her passion for storytelling and growth resonates deeply with many fans in South Africa, where anime culture has steadily grown over the years. Megan also launched her 18-piece Hot Girl Summer swimwear collection at PARAISO Miami Swim Week. This colourful and vibrant line includes bikinis, monokinis, one-piece swimsuits, and cover-ups. The collection is designed to celebrate all body types, empowering women to feel confident and beautiful. 'Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach. I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my swimwear brand,' Megan shared. 'It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it's full circle to have my own line there. I'm so grateful for their support.' Megan's anime announcement is particularly exciting for South African fans who have embraced anime and hip-hop culture alike. With the new series coming to Prime Video, it will be easily accessible to viewers across South Africa, where streaming platforms continue to grow in popularity. Her unique blend of music, fashion, and anime storytelling offers a fresh cultural fusion that resonates globally. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Megan Thee Stallion shakes off Tory Lanez drama as she stuns in sizzling silver swimsuit in Miami
Megan Thee Stallion took the runway by storm at Miami Swim Week. The statuesque rapper, 30, debuted her swimwear line Hot Girl Summer at the annual event. And she stormed down the runway looking fit, fierce and fabulous in a metallic silver one piece with a cut out exposing her entire stomach. The dramatic suit is the Dipped in Gold style from her swimwear collection, which sells at Walmart for a very reasonable $28. Megan wore silver strappy sandals on the runway and wore her hair in a gorgeous natural afro to complement her stunning look. The Mamushi singer's bold presence at Miami Swim Week sends a message to imprisoned Tory Lanez and his supporters. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'HOT GIRL SWIM AT MIAMI SWIM WEEK ���� my first swim week everrr #HOTGIRLSUMMER,' Megan captioned a series of photos on Instagram from the runway show. The Hot Girl Swim line is available at Walmart in sizes XS to XXL and prices range from $16 to $28. 'Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand,' Megan said in an official release about the collection. 'It was only right that we kick off Hot Girl Summer with this launch and provide Hotties of all body types with the official Hot Girl uniform. 'I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it's a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart, and I'm so grateful for their support.' Meanwhile, Megan is fighting the creation of 36 Hours Later, a new website from imprisoned rapper Tory Lanez which seeks to present evidence pointing to his innocence in the July 2020 shooting. While the website includes audio from a witness claiming Megan's shooter was female, Megan's team says Lanez and his lawyers are seeking to confuse the public with previously-released details they are claiming as new. 'Tory Lanez's team can't keep a story straight,' Megan's attorney Alex Spiro told Daily Mail in a statement Thursday afternoon. 'They continue to rehash old evidence from trial and re-package it as new information to desperately sway public opinion. Spiro added, 'There was no new evidence displayed today – simply a sad attempt from Tory's team to copy our presentation format to peddle misinformation.' On Thursday, the legal team working for Lanez set live a website called 36 Hours Later, which takes a closer look at the immediate three-day timeframe in the wake of the July 12, 2020 shooting. The website features audio excerpts from a witness informing authorities that the shots fired at Megan came from a female shooter - not Lanez. Spiro told Daily Mail that the legal team for Lanez last week 'argued that Kelsey Harris shot Megan and now, they're claiming that Megan only stepped on glass.' Spiro also took aim at Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who urged California Governor Gavin Newsom on X Thursday to pardon Lanez. She believes Lanez should be set free based off his conviction 'on a flawed, incomplete story full of contradictions, missing evidence, and straight-up lies. Rep. Luna added: 'Police reports, Megan's own words, and expert analysis show: Tory didn't fire the gun— if anything he tried to stop the conflict.' Spiro said that it was 'embarrassing that Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is integrating herself into the California criminal justice system for click-bait. 'Instead, she should be focused on serving her own constituents in Florida rather than chasing celebrities.'

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) Partners With NationsBenefits To Enhance Health And Wellness Shopping Experience
Walmart recently announced a collaboration with NationsBenefits, aiming to enhance healthcare access through initiatives like the Basket Analyzer Service and Everyday Health Signals program. This move highlights the company's focus on integrating healthcare with retail experiences. Alongside other product launches, such as the "Hot Girl Summer" swimwear collection and the expansion of health-oriented offerings, Walmart saw a 2% price increase over the month. While these developments may have bolstered its market position, broader market trends, such as the tech sector rally and tariff adjustments, played a significant role in supporting overall stock gains. We've discovered 2 risks for Walmart that you should be aware of before investing here. Diversify your portfolio with solid dividend payers offering reliable income streams to weather potential market turbulence. The collaboration between Walmart and NationsBenefits introduces promising opportunities for Walmart to further intertwine healthcare with its retail operations. As Walmart continues to expand its product offerings and integrated services, this initiative could potentially boost revenue streams and support the narrative of enhanced supply chain efficiency and e-commerce growth. The integration of programs like the Basket Analyzer Service aligns well with Walmart's focus on higher-margin ventures, which could positively impact earnings projections. Over a five-year period, Walmart has delivered a total return of 153.73%, reflecting strong long-term performance. While Walmart's stock exceeded the broader US market's return of 11.5% over the past year, this suggests a robust positioning against market fluctuations despite currency and inflationary pressures potentially moderating future gains. In the shorter term, Walmart's recent share price uptick of 2% is vindicated by analysts' consensus price target of US$107.01, approximately 7.9% higher than the current price of US$98.55, indicating confidence in achieving forecasted revenue and margin improvements. Forecasts indicate a 4.1% annual revenue growth for the next three years, with earnings anticipated to rise significantly, driven by ventures like the PhonePe IPO. The healthcare collaboration is a step towards enhancing Walmart's comprehensive service model, aligning with analysts' projections of a strong growth trajectory in earnings. The investor community should remain mindful of the impact that operational investments and market conditions hold on profitability and valuation assessments.

Megan Thee Stallion Launches Hot Girl Swimwear With Walmart
Summer is almost here, and you know what that means—swimsuit season is about to be in full swing. You and I both know you deserve a brand-new swim look (or two… or three...) to kick things off right. And the Hot Girl Coach agrees—just in time for summer, Megan Thee Stallion is launching her own swimwear line, Hot Girl Summer, with Walmart. And not gonna lie, I want one of everything. Expeditiously. Available for a limited time only, this collection features bikini sets, two-pieces, and cover-ups in metallic finishes, vibrant hues, and striking details—perfect for adding a fun, upbeat energy to your beach or poolside look. The overall vibe? Think Y2K meets bold '80s workout glam, with electric colors, playful textures, and nostalgic embellishments (hello, butterflies!). Whether you're all about the va-va-voom or lean toward something with a more understated edge, there's something here to match your mood. And the best part? Every piece ranges from just $16 to $28. It only made sense for Megan to add swimwear mogul to her résumé—after all, she's already a multi-platinum artist, Grammy-winning rapper, and the face of the Hot Girl movement. 'Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand,' Megan said.

I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it's a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart, and I'm so grateful for their support.' Every Hot Girl Swimwear piece comes with a built-in boost of confidence, fierceness, and savagery (Meg's way, of course) courtesy of Mother herself. <3 Like I said, this capsule won't last forever, so don't wait to snag your faves before they're gone!
