Slim Thug Stays Hopeful After Megan Thee Stallion Shuts Down Flirtation Rumors at Coachella
Slim Thug isn’t letting a little rejection get him down.
Even after Megan Thee Stallion publicly clarified that her Coachella tribute wasn’t a flirtation but simply a nod to Houston legends, the Houston rap vet is taking it all in stride—with a sense of humor and optimism.
In a playful video shared to Instagram and captured by Billboard, Slim Thug joked about the viral moment:
“I can’t do Megan Thee Stallion. Gotta do Megan Thee Auntie, 10 years later,” he laughed, brushing off the situation with a wide smile.
Despite Megan making it clear that the tribute wasn’t personal, Slim saw the moment as a win:
“She gave me a shout-out, said my name on Coachella stage,” he added.
“And then she called me ‘babe.’ Come on now, that’s a lot. That was a good shout-out. Played my songs, everything. Streams up on ‘Thug From Around the Way.’ We good… Imma be patient, man. Gotta come home. Slim ain’t going nowhere.”
The Coachella Moment That Sparked the Buzz
The playful back-and-forth started during Megan’s electric performance at Coachella 2025, where she hyped up the crowd by spinning Slim Thug’s classics, including “Thug From Around The Way” and “Still Tippin’.”
Slim Thug took the unexpected homage as a sign, posting online:
“If that ain’t a ‘I want you, daddy’ call, I don’t know what is. I know she got a crush on me by this point. She danced to two of my songs!”
Fans quickly jumped in, fueling speculation about a possible flirtation between the two Houston stars.
