It’s not Megan Thee Stallion’s fault she hadn’t seen Sex and the City!
On Wednesday, Oct. 23, the rapper, 29, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where she revealed her current obsession with Sex and the City — which no one seemed to recommend to her.
“Nobody told me Sex and the City was this good?” Megan teased. “I’m pissed. Nobody said, ‘Megan, you should be watching Sex and the City. Girl, this for the culture. Watch it! I don’t even know how I like, stumbled upon it. I think I just kept seeing like, pictures of Sarah Jessica looking pretty as f—.”
She added, “Her hair, her shoes, her outfits were always so beautiful. And I was like, what is this show? Let me just watch it, let me get into it because nobody put me on. So I started watching the show, and I’m like, I cannot look away. This is the best thing! I’m watching it while I’m working out, I’m watching it while I’m in glam, I’m watching it when I don’t have nothing else to do, and I’m a busy girl. I’m like, squeezing Sex and the City in there. And I’m like, asking everybody, ‘Have you seen Sex and the City?”
Later on, the “Mamushi” singer told host Jimmy Fallon that she still needed to see the 2008 Sex and the City film and its 2010 sequel.
“The way Sex and the City ended, you know, I was a little upset, and they said, ‘No, no, no, no, no, you have to watch the movie.’ And I say, ‘OK, take me there because I don’t understand what’s happening,’” Megan said.
The actor/comedian, 50, then asked Megan for her reviews of the characters from the series including Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall) Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), which she provided in great detail.
Megan began with Samantha, who she didn’t like at first.
“When Sex and the City first started for me, I said, ‘Oh, I hate this character.’ Like, why are y’all making her like, oh my God, sex is like the ruler of my life. And it’s like, I’m just so desperate. I was like, this is horrible, this is a horrible character. But then as the show kept going, I was like, ‘OK, hold on. Wait a minute.’ I’m glad I hung in there, because she runs men. Like she does not let men run her and she keeps trying to tell the girls, like stop making the man the center of your life. Like go shopping, have a good time, make your money and then have fun with your little toys. And I’m like, yes, I did that,” she said.
When Megan got to describing Charlotte, she called her “a little delulu,” but added the caveat that “it’s cute.” “She would be my bestie because she’s so emotional and I feel like it’s OK to cry. It’s OK to be a little crazy. She might be a Cancer in the show, her character has to be a Cancer…. I’m sorry, Cancers, but y’all are very emotional and I feel like Cancers and Aquarius go together very well,” she said.
Then, Megan dubbed Miranda “the worst character on the show.” “I cannot stand Miranda. She never got nothing good to say. She’s so sad all the time…. How could anybody even fix their lips to be mean to Steve [David Eigenberg] and Miranda figured out a way to be mean to Steve. The only thing Steve ever wanted to do was love this crazy lady,” she said.
Finally, Megan gave her review of the show’s main character, Carrie. “Her hair is good, her makeup is great. I’m pretty sure this dress is great paired with a pair of Manolos. Like she’s always attractive, doing these sick old things. She’s nuts. But you know what [Laughs]? I see a lot of myself in this character, like Carrie really loved drama. Like she would literally wake up and figure out how can I mess up everybody’s day? How can I be my cutest messing up everybody’s day? How can I make my life more complicated? Simply, she could have always made the right choice. She could have chosen sanity, but she always chose insanity. And then I had to wonder, is that me?”
