Megan Thee Stallion reflects on balancing her rap persona with her personal life and filtering out transactional relationships

She recently ended her relationship with NBA player Klay Thompson, citing trust and respect as non-negotiable values

Megan concluded her run in Moulin Rouge! The Musical earlier this month

Megan Thee Stallion has two sides — and she's learned how to nurture each of them.

The "Mamushi" rapper appeared on the cover of Entrepreneur on Wednesday, May 5, and opened up to the outlet about finding balance in her work as a rapper and her personal life.

"I feel like I had to learn how to separate Megan Pete and Megan Thee Stallion," Megan, 31, said.

"When I'm interacting with my people and my Hotties, I want them to feel like — when they had that experience with Megan — it don't matter if they were having a bad day, because once they met me, their day was better," she continued. "They might have felt some type of relief."

There was a time when the "HISS" rapper felt her work persona was taking over — and people treated her differently because of it.

"I was Megan Thee Stallion all the time. I was on all the time. And people treated me that way. Like, even people that had known me for so long in my life, they no longer treated me like the Megan that they grew up with. They started treating me like Megan Thee Stallion," she said.

She continued, "And I didn't like that. I'm like, 'This is so crazy. You know me, so why are we sitting here and you're recording everything I do? Or why are we talking about other famous people all the time?' It was hard for me to experience."

Over time, Megan also learned to filter out the transactional relationships in her life by distinguishing who's "going to be long-term and who's just the reason in the season."

"I had to learn that, when I go home, I can't take my whole day with me into my personal life," she said. "Like, whatever happened to Megan Thee Stallion today, I should not take that home to my real friends and my real relationships and my family. This is two different lives I'm living."

Megan's comments about long-term relationships come less than a month after she confirmed her breakup from Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson.

"I've made the decision to end my relationship with Klay," Megan said in a statement to PEOPLE. "Trust, fidelity and respect are non-negotiable for me in a relationship, and when those values are compromised, there's no real path forward. I'm taking this time to prioritize myself and move ahead with peace and clarity."

The "Savage" rapper also recently took her final bow in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Friday, May 1. Her run was initially scheduled through May 17, but she announced she would be exiting the show early shortly after her breakup.

"Hotties, my last performance as Zidler in @moulinrougebway will be May 1 ❤️‍🩹," she wrote on Instagram on April 27. "It's been such an honor to be part of thee Moulin Rouge family and I've met so many amazing people in this theater! Y'all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y'all put into the work!"

"I'm so grateful for the cast and crew that made this experience so meaningful," she continued. "And to all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey! I LOVE YALL🥹 See you soon 💙."

- Jake Reiner is remembering his late parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, as he returns to his Dodgers baseball podcast.

- The 35-year-old explained that he wanted to pen an essay on his experience losing his parents before returning to the podcast.

- He also recalled bonding with his dad over the team and sport.

Jake Reiner is honoring his late parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, in his podcast return.

The writer and actor rejoined his cohost Kevin Kline on Wednesday’s episode of *The Incline: Dodgers Podcast*, where he thanked everyone for their well-wishes and discussed his and his father’s deep connection to the Los Angeles baseball team.

“I’m really honored to be back. It's been a long time coming,” Jake said. “If I could just say a few words to start us off here tonight, I just wanna thank everybody that I've heard from, near and far, since everything's happened.”

Jake temporarily stepped away from the podcast after his parents were found dead in their Los Angeles, Calif., home in December 2025. His brother, Nick, was later arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection to their deaths. He has since pleaded not guilty, with his trial set to start in September.

“I've tried to get back to every one of you, and I will continue to try and respond to people, but just know that I've seen all the love, all the support out there,” Jake said, noting that he “couldn’t appreciate” it more.

Rob Reiner's son Jake says it's 'almost too impossible to process' having brother Nick at 'center' of family tragedy

Rob Reiner, Michele Singer, Romy Reiner, Nick Reiner, Maria Gilfillan and Jake Reiner at "Spinal Tap II: The End Continues" Los Angeles Premiere held at The Egyptian Theatre on September 09, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

The 35-year-old explained that he had been thinking about returning to the podcast for a really long time, but first wanted to pen an essay about his experience losing his parents. He published the piece on Substack in April.

“I just felt like, with everything going on, people saying a bunch of nice, wonderful things about my parents in terms of their career and their activism, and just who they were as public figures… it's been really cool to see, but I felt like I wanted to put my words out there and let people in as to the kind of people that they were at home,” he said. “And for those that really knew and loved them, I felt it important to share that.”

Jake added that the essay was also a way for him to “connect with people that are going through their own kind of grief,” adding, “I know that not everybody's grief is the same. And even though everyone's grief is unique to them, I'm sure that there are aspects of everyone's grief that we can all connect with.”

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our ******EW Dispatch newsletter******.***

He went on to describe the Dodgers as “his first love," adding, “It's something that I've always connected with my dad, first and foremost, and it's something that I will continue to connect with him for the rest of my life.”

Jake wrote about his and his father’s shared passion for the blue crew in his Substack essay, writing, “We loved the Dodgers more than anything. We went to so many damn games. I’ll never go to Dodger Stadium again without feeling my dad’s presence and hearing his voice tell me why Shohei Ohtani should never bat in the leadoff spot.”

He added that the pair went on baseball trips every summer and had managed to visit every Major League Baseball stadium together.

“It’s not lost on me that I was able to have these incredible experiences, that most people don’t get to have, because of who my parents were,” Jake wrote. “But I would trade every Dodger game, every Broadway show, every vacation, if I could just spend just one more hour talking to them and to say goodbye.”

- Melissa Barrera doesn't believe the record-breaking success of *Scream 7.*

- The former *Scream* star was fired ahead of production.

- Barrera thinks her returning costars crossed a picket line and "have to live with that."

*Scream 7* scored the best opening weekend in franchise history, but fired *Scream* star Melissa Barrera is skeptical of the numbers for the "nostalgia-bait" film.

In the fifth and sixth installments of *Scream*, Barrera played Sam Carpenter, the daughter of original Ghostface Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich). But, despite being the new lead scream queen, she was dropped by the production company Skyglass for making pro-Palestine statements on social media and criticizing the actions of Israel in its war with Hamas. *Scream 7 *would then undergo a full creative overhaul, and even with mostly poor reviews the movie outgrossed *Scream VI*'s debut by $20 million.

"I think they lied about the numbers," Barrera told *Variety** *of the $97 million global opening, without providing evidence. "I don’t think it made that much money."

And when the interviewer said *Scream 7* "sucked," Barrera replied, "I know."

At the time of Barrera's firing, Spyglass said in a statement that it has "zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form." The actress responded by condemning antisemitism, while still emphasizing the importance of using her platform "to raise awareness about issues I care about."

Shortly after Barrera's ouster, her onscreen sister, Jenna Ortega, also departed, as did incoming director Christopher Landon. Original *Scream* writer Kevin Williamson and star Neve Campbell were then brought back, with Campbell's return being especially notable given she sat out *Scream VI* over a pay dispute.

The last two films had been built around the new core four of Barrera, Ortega, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Mason Gooding. And while Barrera and Ortega were gone, Brown and Gooding reprised their roles as Mindy and Chad Meeks-Martin.

Asked by *Variety* if she felt like her former costars were "basically crossing the picket line" and were "scabby," Barrera said, "Oh, one hundred percent. I think they all are. And they have to live with that. The only way they were able to make that movie after what happened was to nostalgia-bait as much as possible."

Barrera added that she didn't receive much public backing after she was let go from *Scream*: "I got some messages of support from people in the industry, but what I found is that private messages with no action mean nothing."

Currently starring in the Broadway musical *Titaníque*, Barrera won't hasn't let the sour end of her run with the franchise ruin what *Scream* means to her and her career.

"People who love me from those movies are coming to see the show, and they can’t ever take that away from me," she said. "*Scream *is always going to be a big part of me because it was two years of my life, it gave me a lot, and I’m grateful specifically to [directors] Matt [Bettinelli-Olpin] and Tyler [Gillett] who gave me that shot. That hasn’t been soured for me. They don’t have that power."

Meanwhile, *Scream 8* is officially in development with writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky became the subject of fresh internet speculation after a video from their post-Met Gala ride began circulating online. The couple, who attended fashion’s biggest night together, were photographed and filmed inside a sprinter van after leaving the star-packed event Monday evening. The pair appeared noticeably quiet and low-key, which quickly caught the attention of social media users.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s car conversation after Met Gala 2026 sparks feud rumors

In the now-viral video, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky appeared to be having a serious conversation while sitting together after the long gala. Their tired expressions and calm mood quickly led people online to wonder if they had been arguing behind the scenes. The internet started closely studying every look and facial expression in the video.

Some thought the interaction seemed tense, while others believed Rihanna and A$AP Rocky looked tired after hours of being in front of cameras, interviews, and public appearances. At one moment in the footage, Rihanna appeared to give a small smile as the couple walked back into their hotel.

One user joked, “We need a lip reader to tell us what’s being said.” Another person questioned, “Why is this ‘news’ worthy? Most people are tired after a big event.” Someone else pointed out, “Imagine having all those little kids….I’m sure they just wanna get home and sleep for a while before one of the babies wakes up.” Another viewer added, “This is very normal for couples. Why does it seem like an issue with celebrities?”

An insider claimed Rihanna and Rocky appeared relaxed together and were enjoying the night. The two have remained one of entertainment’s most closely watched couples since they first went public in 2020. Over the years, they have balanced music careers, fashion ventures, parenthood, and headline-making appearances while navigating intense public scrutiny. The couple has three children together: sons RZA and Riot, along with a daughter, Rocki Irish Mayers. The couple usually keeps their family life private.

Chris Faison and his former mentor Chris De Leon reunited as band leaders at the 31st annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition

Both instructors emphasized the importance of jazz as a communal art form and a way to teach values

The festival featured masterclasses, jam sessions, and opportunities for fostering connections among young musicians and mentors

Just a few years ago, Chris Faison was a high school senior performing at a prestigious jazz competition held at New York's Lincoln Center, with mentor Chris De Leon guiding the way.

This year, the duo returned to the 31st annual Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition & Festival — but this time as friendly rivals leading their own Florida jazz programs.

"As a freshman in high school, I was a decent saxophone player but I knew nothing about jazz. He introduced me to everything," Faison, who now leads Tarpon Springs High School in Tarpon Springs, Fla., says.

"The whole concept of jazz. What it is as an art form but also a communal aspect. We come to class and play music but there was a bigger, deeper meaning and culture behind it. And that's something that now myself as a teacher, it's a culture I try to promote in my own classroom," he continues.

Reflecting on De Leon's teachings, Faison says that the most important piece of advice he carries with him — and something he teaches to his students — is that jazz "should sound good but more importantly feel good."

Meanwhile, De Leon always knew that Faison had potential based on how talented, musical and expressive he was as a middle schooler.

"If I would tell him, 'Hey, go check this out,' he would go deep on that specific thing and he would obsessively listen to it and he was into it at a really, really high level and a really young age," De Leon says.

"I can say this with confidence: the success our band had in 2019 and 2020 had largely to do with him and his fellow leaders in the bands that were driving that energy," he continues.

Now, De Leon is proud of the man Faison has become.

"I'm proud of the human being he is to his kids. He inspires them. He works really, really hard. He pushes them. He's doing everything that I try to do with my students," he says, adding that he loves that he's passing the jazz tradition down.

At the festival, De Leon's band at Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Fla. finished in third place overall — though both instructors view the festival as a way to come together and celebrate the love of jazz.

"It's called a competition, but it's really a celebration of the music and the community. This is an oral tradition type of music, so if people weren't passing it down to the next generation, it wouldn't exist anymore. So it's a lot of love," De Leon says.

This year's festival took place from April 30 to May 2 and students participated in section-specific masterclasses, jam sessions with Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra members, pre-performance rehearsals, a celebratory dinner and more.

With Teacher Appreciation Day happening on Tuesday, May 5, both instructors reflected on the art of teaching — and what keeps them coming back.

"I don't think there's anything more American or more human than jazz because it teaches so many values about listening to somebody else and leaving space for somebody else to express their opinion, even if it's different than yours," De Leon says. "I think that it's really, really important that kids are exposed to this and understand how that's a part of life."

He continues, "When you're here, this place is magical. Kids get to see like-minded peers that look different, but have the same ambition, same drive in life to be really great at something, and they make these amazing connections. Nothing quite like this festival and how it connects people for life."

Faison adds, "This festival was the one thing that we went to where it felt like more than just a competition or the band with the most money. This is a place where every man loves each other and supports each other."

“They Just Don’t Stay Wrong”: 67 Things Only People Of Low Intelligence Do Miguel OrdoñezWed, May 6, 2026 at 3:01 AM UTC 0 There’s nothing inherently wrong with having low intelligence.

“They Just Don’t Stay Wrong”: 67 Things Only People Of Low Intelligence Do

There’s nothing inherently wrong with having low intelligence. Sure, the person may have their fair share of difficulties, particularly when it comes to solving complex problems or managing daily tasks, but a lack of brainpower isn’t morally offensive.

It only becomes an issue when the individual in question comes off as obnoxious about their intellectual flaws. Like when they use TikTok as their primary source of information, refuse to hear other opinions, or the many other examples people shared in this recent Reddit thread.

If you think there are other things worth mentioning that aren’t on this list, feel free to add them in the comments below.

#1

Anyone that uses TikTok as their primary source of information and doesn’t try to look further into any subject.

#2

Not being able to understand that there is usually a lot of nuance in complicated topics. Believing pseudoscience over actual science is also a big one!

#6

When they try to make a point by just repeating themselves louder and louder.

#7

When they can't admit they're wrong about something small. Not the big stuff. Everyone struggles with that. But the little things like mispronouncing a word or remembering a date wrong. If you can't just say oh my bad and move on, that tells me you're more interested in being right than being accurate. Smart people are wrong all the time. They just don't stay wrong.

When they only talk about things that relate directly to them. Where they show no curiosity or desire to learn from the perspective of others.

#17

“I don’t read books”, specifically, by people who can read and say it as a point of pride.

#18

They took things personally and start to get angry when someone else has a different opinion.

#19

Inability to understand that others hold a different point of view.

#20

When english is their first language and they can barely speak.I don't mean people with disabilities or someone who has had a stroke. I mean fully functioning people that can't put five words together properly.

#21

Littering.

#22

Calling it "World War Eleven".

Being in public and being on a face time call watching a movie or listening to music with out head phones.

Low intelligence is not the same as poorly educated. Someone can be extremely intelligent but not well educated, therefore their grammar, use of certain phrases may not come across as intelligent. I work with a broad variety of the public on a daily basis. For me, I can tell if somebody legitimately is low intelligence or has some cognitive impairment because it seems like they’re trying very hard to understand something but just can’t. I’ll explain something several times and I’ll walk away knowing they are going to try their best but only a little bit is going to be absorbed. I’ve also noticed low intelligence people seem to be attracted to other low intelligence people and vice versa with people of higher intelligence.

“I asked ChatGPT, and it said…”.

#41

Arguing loud without knowing the facts.

#42

Bragging about their IQ.

#43

When I say I have ADHD and they instantly begin self diagnosing themselves because they’re always so messy and forgetful. But an ADHD radar works the same way as a gay-radar. I can spot them both from a mile away and I wouldn’t miss one right in front of me.

Using the word "literally" so much that if they stop they'll drown in their own dimness.

Calling women "females".

A pattern of bad choices, but blaming everything else. Complaining, but adding more to the bad choice pile. Never has an urge to learn. Asks questions about basic things even in topics or around hobbies they are interested in.

#56

Believing in pseudo-sciencebelieving that price always correlates with quality.

#57

When they’re right even when they’re wrong. Accepting you were wrong in a debate is a sign of intelligence. Rejecting even the notion shows a lack thereof. You’re not standing up for what you believe in, you’re ignoring any evidence that disproves your original assessment.

#58

If they get angry over seemingly trivial things.

Face tattoo.

Constant Interruptions, not answering the question that was asked & answering with "but" and than.

They still support MAGA and the "president".
