Megan Thee Stallion is heating up the season with her ‘Hot Girl Summer’ tour. The ‘Body’ rapper took things up a notch at the Texas leg of her trek by bringing out a special guest, the legendary Paul Wall.
Megan Thee Stallion shocked her fans by bringing out Paul Wall at her concert in Austin, Texas, on Thursday (June 13).
According to Yahoo Entertainment, viral videos captured Paul making his entrance onto the stage, prompting the crowd to erupt into cheers. The Texas emcee performed his hit single, ‘Still Tippin’ and also rapped Nelly’s song, ‘Grillz,’ which he is featured on. The audience went wild for the performance rapping every word along with Paul, while Meg enjoyed the moment and danced on stage.

Megan Thee Stallion has been taking over social media ever since she kicked off her ‘Hot Girl Summer’ tour alongside GloRilla in May. The Houston Hottie has achieved much success since embarking on the trek.
Earlier this week, the ‘BOA’ artist uploaded a carousel of photos on Instagram to share some of her favorite moments from her tour with her fans. The caption on her post hinted at some shade for ‘Breakfast Club’ host Charlamagne Tha God. She had bullet points explaining each photo in the carousel.
For her sixth bullet point, Meg explained that she would gloat about her milestones and addressed those who doubted her capacity to perform in arenas.
“6. Ima pop my s**t for a second lol but people questioned if I was an arena artist,” she wrote. “…anddd I mean🤷🏽♀️ teehee.”
See the post for yourself below.
You might recall that back in May, Charlamagne spoke about Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ tour during an episode of his radio show. The host questioned if Meg was an “arena artist” after Ticketmaster reportedly began to sell tickets for her tour for as low as $24.
“If she’s doing arenas, she shouldn’t be doing arenas. She’s not an arena artist. Salute to Megan Thee Stallion, but she’s not an arena artist, maybe a theatre artist. Arenas is a lot,” he said.
However, despite Charlamagne’s claims, Meg’s tour is doing numbers! She has sold out numerous arenas, including Madison Square Garden, throughout her voyage with GloRilla.
Note that Charlamagne already backpedaled on his comments soon after he initially made them.
“I asked the question yesterday: Is Megan Thee Stallion an arena artist? Cleary, we got our answer, Jess just said that she sold out 13 arena stops and I think I read over 240,000 tickets across North America and Europe. So yeah, if you’re selling out arenas, clearly you’re an arena artist,” he said.
