Megan Thee Stallion has refuted claims that she stole the design for her debut Fashion Nova Collection after a designer called her out on Instagram.
A designer named Aazhia came forward on Instagram last week claiming the 25-year-old rapper had used her unique TLZL’Femme dress design to create the “Chase the Bag Shoulder Pad Mini Dress” with a similar long cloth draping in-between the legs.
“IMA BREAK THIS DOWN REAL SIMPLE! MY DRESS WAS STOLEN AND USED IN THIS MEGAN X FN COLLAB! WAS I TOLD? NO! WAS I COMPENSATED? NO!” “I’M VERY MUCH SO TAKEN BACK BY THE THE LACK OF RESPECT FOR ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN! THERE IS THIS TIRED NARRATIVE THAT THE BLAVK WOMAN IS SO DISRESPECTED, BUT WE DO IT TO EACH OTHER!!!!”
The “Savage” rapper, cleared the air during an interview with The Morning Hustle on Tuesday.
“A lot of times, people say that they talked to somebody from my team. I don’t know what year that was, I don’t know who, what are you talking about? And a lot of times, they won’t even bring me who they don’t tell me who they talking to. If I’ve probably never heard of you, like I’ve never seen that dress before. But it’s been a dress that has been done a lot, like over the years. So I feel bad that people’s initial reaction would be to just come at me like, ‘Oh, you a Black woman! You’re stealing from Black women!’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, hold on, sis, ’cause like I don’t know you.” Megan said in the interview.

While denying the allegations, Megan explained how she would’ve made amends with the designer, whom she left unnamed during the interview.
“It’s a way to come at people. Cause if it would’ve been a real misunderstanding, I would’ve never had a problem saying, ‘I’m sorry, sis.’ I would have checked my stylist. Like you don’t do that. That’s not right. And then I would’ve had the dress taken down, whatever the money made from the dress, I would’ve given the money to the girl if that was really something that she felt like was stolen from her.” Megan continued.
The rapper’s Fashion Nova collection dropped exactly one week ago. The collection has 106 denim pieces, dresses, bodysuits, outerwear, and more ranging from $24.99 to $199.99. It reportedly brought in $1.2 million within the first 24 hours, according to TMZ, who broke the news last Friday, the same day Megan’s highly anticipated debut album “Good News” was released.
