Megan Thee Stallion review – positivity bootcamp with a rapper on fire
Despite her well-documented troubles and more than a few empty seats, the American star rises above it all with a skilful, celebratory show and seemingly endless pyrotechnics…
This made her a lightning rod for the rap community’s most misogynistic impulses, with superstars such as Drake and Nicki Minaj lining up to mock her or question her account of events, despite Lanez being found guilty of the assault. On a Wednesday night at London’s O2 Arena, they’re out in full force; the sheer volume of their screams is hilariously loud, rivalling the eardrum-splitting ballyhoo I heard when I saw Taylor Swift’s Eras tour last year. It’s a disappointing note to an otherwise breezily fun show, but hardly a unique failure: more and more artists, for whatever reason, are playing huge spaces when they might be better suited to slightly smaller venues – the result of a rapidly consolidating live music industry and a desire to make back profits lost during the pandemic years.
