American rapper Megan Thee Stallion has come under heavy criticism for her performance at a recent presidential rally for Kamala Harris in Atlanta. Videos from the event show Megan performing her popular song “Savage,” dressed in a striking blue power suit and accompanied by a group of background dancers. However, it was her on-stage twerking that has sparked controversy and left many in the audience stunned.
Social media users have expressed their discontent with the performance, questioning whether it could negatively impact Kamala Harris’ campaign. “Imagine performing a sexually suggestive song at a presidential rally,” one critic remarked. Another added, “How is this election real?” A third user denounced the choice of performer, stating, “Twerking at a political rally is a choice… this cannot be what we have representing us. Inviting such an act at this point in the campaign was a misstep for Kamala.”
In addition to “Savage,” Megan performed her hit song “Body” at the rally. Before her performance, she addressed the crowd, saying, “I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies. And if you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.” Following the rally, Megan shared a video with Kamala Harris, praising her as the “future President of the US.”
Kamala Harris, who became the Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden withdrew from the race, has been receiving support from several prominent figures. Among her supporters are former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, who have both publicly endorsed her candidacy.
The backlash against Megan Thee Stallion’s performance raises questions about the intersection of entertainment and politics, and whether such performances align with the serious nature of presidential campaigns.
