Megan Thee Stallion has leveled up in a number of ways this year, and her latest move sees her partnering with the 2024 Paris Olympics to show off her business skills.
In the latest NBC Olympics promo — which made its debut during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday (November 23) — the Houston Hottie is joined by a group of elite equestrians as she poses in front of a backdrop featuring the iconic Palace of Versailles.

“Welcome to Thee Paris Olympics,” Meg opens her pitch before turning her attention to her “Hot Girl”: a talking, fire-breathing Pegasus, which spreads its wings and unleashes a fiery blaze.
“And that is the Olympics, Hot Girl style,” she adds as the camera pans to a board room full of executives seemingly confused by the pitch. “So, it’s a winged, fire-breathing, talking horse?” one asks.

“Duh! That is the Ahlymics,” Meg responds, plugging her trademark adlib, with the horse playfully adding: “What they not getting about this?”

“As America gathers together today on Thanksgiving, we wanted to surprise the nation with an Olympic moment as big as the holiday, and what better way to do that than with ‘Thee Olympics,’ featuring Meghan Thee Stallion and dressage horses at Versailles,” Jenny Storms, CMO, Sports and Entertainment, NBCUniversal, told Variety in a statement.
“As we approach the new year, even more surprises are in store as we continue to bring to life the biggest media event of 2024 — the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

Previous promo spots for the games have featured Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, Paris Hilton, Dolly Parton, the Minions, and WWE superstar Roman Reigns.
In music news, Megan Thee Stallion recently dropped a new single titled “Cobra,” and it received a rave review from Joe Budden, a notoriously tough critic.
Earlier this month, Budden, along with his podcast co-hosts, discussed the track in detail, revealing Meg had found fans in them.
“This is who I want to hear. I want to hear from bitches that’s depressed,” Joe said. “I want to hear from bitches that’s sad about some shit — ‘Yeah, this pussy get poppin’, but I’m struggling inside.’ I think that’s where the best art comes from. It’s not gender-specific.”

“If you don’t like this, you hating. Case closed,” he continued.
Budden wound the segment down by talking about how the song was “a breath of fresh air,” before addressing the rapper directly.
“Meg, I ain’t gonna lie to you. You absolutely went crazy on this… And I hope you feel better. But not all the way better, because we need [music like] this. I hope your problems are rectified, but not, like, really soon.”
