Time is Excited to Work with Megan Thee Stallion Again
Time said it had successfully worked with Megan before when she was named one of the annual Time 100 in 2020. In a statement about the new documentary series, Hammonds said:
We are thrilled to be able to work with Roc Nation to share Megan’s story with the world. Millions of people are familiar with her as an entertainer, but this series will give her a chance to share her truth as never before. Her story is a powerful one, and the accomplishments that she continues to achieve are remarkable. We feel lucky to have this opportunity to capture her at a crucial moment in her life and career, as she continues to grow exponentially in both her artistry and global impact.
Oscar-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson touched on Megan’s personal struggles in the 2020 Time 100 piece on the performer, saying, “She’s lost much of her family – her mother, her father, her grandmother – yet she is the epitome of tenacity, of pulling herself up by her bootstraps. She was shot this summer, and still, people tried to tear her down.”
However, the singer hasn’t let any of that stop her, graduating from Texas Southern University on June 27, 2025.
“Megan has quickly blossomed into one of the pre-eminent entertainers in the world, and it’s a testament to her perseverance, resilience, and professionalism,” said Perez, Roc Nation’s CEO, in a statement. “Her journey is inspirational, and we’re proud to have partnered with Time Studios to highlight her personal and professional trajectory over the years. Our hope is that thisdocumentarywill inspire viewers to stay the course and pursue their passions through the ups and downs.”
