Megan Thee Stallion paid homage to Britney Spears during one of her many costume changes while hosting the 2024 MTV VMAs, but she had to call in for some reinforcement.
Meg recreated Brit’s iconic “I’m A Slave 4 U” performance look from the 2001 Video Music Awards, down to the live reptile around her shoulders. However, when the snake was moving a bit too much for the Houston native’s comfort, she was quick to call for help.
“Okay. Okay! Stop the music. I’m just playing,” a visibly nervous Meg yelled. “Come get this snake. I don’t know this snake, this snake don’t know me. Oh my GOD!”
Once the handler removed her co-star, Meg laughed as she added: “I tried to hod it down for Britney.”

In addition to her hosting duties, Megan Thee Stallion was nominated for seven awards at this year’s VMAs. She ultimately took home two trophies – one for Best Trending Video for her song “Mamushi,” and one for Best Art Direction for “BOA.”
In other news, the Houston Hottie recently stepped out with NBA star Torrey Craig for the first time after recently confirming their romance.
The rapper and Chicago Bull were pictured enjoying each other’s company in the Big Apple over the weekend during New York Fashion Week.
Photos shared online by The Shade Room show Megan and Craig holding hands and walking together while showing off their respective outfits.

In the photos, the “Hiss” rapper can be seen wearing a figure-hugging, dark-colored jumpsuit and matching heels and a bag, while the 6-foot-5 forward opts for a more relaxed ensemble of a Balenciaga jacket, three-quarter-length jeans, chunky Converse kicks and a bucket hat.
It appears the budding power couple are not yet ready to make their relationship Instagram official as Megan and Craig both shared photos of their respective outfits on the social media platform, although their posts didn’t feature each other.
This didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who bombarded both posts with interrogative comments like: “girl why you crop that man” and “why he didn’t post the one with Meg.”
