Megan Thee Stallion is about to level up in a whole new way — and she’s bringing her anime dreams to life.
Speaking at DreamCon in Houston on May 30, the rapper, dressed head-to-toe as Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach, dropped the bombshell that she’s developing an anime series for Amazon Prime Video. While she played coy on the details, she promised it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. “You ain’t never seen an anime like this ever in your life,” Megan told the crowd. If that’s not enough to get anime fans hyped, she’s teaming up with The Boondocks’ Carl Jones — a match that could be as dynamic as it sounds.
Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, don’t expect a straightforward biopic or a rap-themed storyline. This isn’t about chart-topping singles or twerking anthems; it’s about Megan’s real-deal anime passion. From her cosplay to her lyrics, she’s worn that badge with pride for years. In fact, back in 2020, she even partnered with Crunchyroll for an anime-inspired streetwear line, cementing her status as one of the most dedicated anime heads in the rap game.
“I’m half anime character, half rapper,” Megan said in an earlier interview with Crunchyroll. “I like how you see a character start off weak, go through training, and grow into their power. I apply that to my life a lot.”
This latest venture into anime isn’t just a random detour — it’s another example of how Megan Thee Stallion’s creative spirit knows no bounds. And although there’s no release date or even a concept to drool over just yet, it’s clear this project is moving. After all, she first teased this anime dream seven months ago, so the wheels are definitely in motion.
Megan’s big anime reveal comes on the heels of another major launch: her Hot Girl Summer swim collection, which dropped during PARAISO Miami Swim Week on May 29. The collection — featuring everything from multicolored bikinis to monokinis, priced between $16 and $28 — will be hitting Walmart stores, the retailer’s website, and Megan’s own online shop. “Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach,” she said in a statement, calling the collab with Walmart a full-circle moment from her own childhood shopping trips.
So, while we wait for more about this top-secret anime series, one thing’s clear: Megan Thee Stallion is all about doing it big, doing it bold, and doing it her way — whether she’s making music, making swimwear, or making anime magic. Stay tuned.
