Megan Thee Stallion is setting the record straight about those swirling Met Gala ban rumors—and she’s doing it in true Hot Girl fashion.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, the Houston-born rapper firmly denied speculation that she was barred from attending the prestigious fashion event by Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
“No. We’re gonna dead these rumors right now, okay?” Megan said. “People are like, ‘Oh my God, Megan, you got banned from the Met Gala.’ No, I didn’t, babe. That’s not true. Y’all made that up and ran with it. Anna [Wintour] loves me, babe. That’s why my phone was out.”
Her statement comes after online rumors suggested she had been blacklisted from the 2025 Met Gala due to filming inside the event—something that is famously prohibited. Megan clarified that she and Wintour are still on good terms and dismissed the gossip as pure fabrication.

Expanding Her Empire: Chicas Divertidas Tequila
The swimwear launch comes just months after Megan introduced another business venture: Chicas Divertidas, her very own premium tequila brand.
