Megan Thee Stallion Ex-BFF Claims She Jumpstarted Her Career (2024)

Megan Thee Stallion’s ex-best friend Kelsey Nicole had her first interview post-Tory Lanez’s conviction. She is telling her side of the story. While the interview went through several topics with Kelsey as she sat down with The Danza Project podcast, one of the clips that has been making rounds on social media is that she was the one to jumpstart Megan’s career.

On the podcast, Kelsey said while they were in college together she edited and uploaded a video of Megan rapping on YouTube. The video went viral and Nicole says that without her believing in Megan and uploading the video then the rapper wouldn’t be where she is today. Additionally, Kelsey states that Megan’s late mother thanked her at the time for helping her daughter.

At this time, Megan has not responded to Kelsey’s claims.

Kelsey Nicole Speaks On Megan Thee Stallion In Diss Track

Kelsey Nicole was in the car the night Lanez shot Megan in the foot back in July 2020. Four months after the incident, Kelsey responded to rumors that she was the one who shot Megan (after Megan had denied her being the shooter multiple times) and that both women having a sexual relationship with Lanez was the cause of the shooting.

“Who I’m taking shots at? Bitch I’m busting you,” Kelsey raps on “Bussin Back.” “Couldn’t control your little feelings/ Look what d— is costing you/ It was all good yeah about a week ago/ Shout out Bobby Shmurda but this bitch is really tweaking tho/ If I was the one with the gun you woulda heard about a murder/ Said her back was turned but the girl know who really hurt her.”

Lanez was sentenced to sentenced to ten years in prison last August for the shooting of Megan.

Shannon Sharpe: 8 Celebs We Want To See On 'Club Shay Shay'

• Jay-Z

  Jay-Z is possibly gearing up for his 14th studio album, and Club Shay Shay could be the couch where he makes the announcement. If the Brooklyn native were to release an album, it would follow his Grammy-nominated LP 4:44, which dropped in 2017. He said he isn't dismissing the idea of doing an album, so it's still possible. While Jay doesn't do interviews, he shared several gems about his upbringing, Roc Nation, and his records with Gayle King late last year, so being open won't be a problem for the rap legend.

• Drake

  Drake is another rap star who doesn't do sit-down interviews often, but it always goes viral when he does. Drake released For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition last year, and while Universal Music Group (which Drake is an artist signed under) has pulled several of his songs from TikTok, it would be interesting to see what are Drake's views on the topic. The Toronto rapper has also had some viral moments recently, such as an alleged NSFW video, taking shots at the Grammys, and always planting seeds about retirement. While he's currently on tour, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Sharpe to hit Drake up after he's back from the road.

• Kanye

  If there is anyone on this list who will give him views similar to Katt Williams's, it's Kanye. The Chicago native is always in the headlines because of his controversial statements. On the music side, he just dropped an album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, on Feb. 9. The two are also expected to headline Rolling Loud in March, and knowing Ye something viral is bound to happen.

• Cardi B

  Fans have been desperately waiting for a sophom*ore album from Cardi but still have not heard any official announcement. It would be interesting to have the Bronx native spill the title or release date on Club Shay Shay. Her last album, Invasion of Privacy, dropped in 2017. Besides music, fans would be interested to know about her and Offset's relationship and what she's up to next.

• Megan Thee Stallion

  Megan Thee Stallion is entertaining on her own, but we believe she and Sharpe can have a viral episode on their hands if she takes a seat on his brown leather couch. The rapper is gearing up for a new album and tour this summer, so she could give the former NFL star some inside scoop. Besides music, fans want to know about her dating life, her ongoing beef with Nicki Minaj, and how she's coping amid Tory Lanez's conviction. Plus, Sharpe already went viral mentioning how attractive he thinks she is, so at this point, he owes her a guest slot.

• Nicki Minaj

  Nicki is not scared to say what's on her mind. The rap star currently has beef with Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, so maybe Sharpe can persuade her to bury the hatchet or get to the root of the feuds. The Queens native just dropped her fifth studio album so we most likely won't be getting any new music but she might be able to give up some tour secrets. Nicki is about to embark on her Pink Friday 2 tour in March so Sharpe would need to give the rapper a call quickly.

• Diddy

  Diddy has not had a formal interview about the lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and harassment in the past. Sharpe would be able to let the rap mogul explain his side of the allegations. It would be interesting to find out what Diddy has been up to as he has maintained a low profile online. Sharpe can also question the Bad Boy Records founder about how the allegations have impacted his relationship with Yung Miami, his family, and more.

• 50 Cent

  50 is not one to hold back, and after watching Kat Williams's interview, Sharpe does not mind his guests starting controversies. 50 has had beef with over 10 celebs so him talking about the past would be an interesting topic. He also uses social media to talk about his opinion -- which is often controversial -- on popular pop culture moments. On the business side, the rapper-turned-mogul always has a new project going on so he can speak about what he has coming up next in the Power universe.
