Megan Thee Stallion couldn’t help but wonder why she didn’t watch Sex and the City sooner.
Because now the “Body” rapper is brimming with hot takes. Megan recently revealed that she just got around to binge-watched the hit show starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon for the first time—and it quickly became all-encompassing.
“Nobody told me Sex and the City was this good!” the 29-year-old quipped during an Oct. 23 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I’m pissed. Nobody said, ‘Megan you should be watching Sex and the City for the culture’… I started watching the show and I cannot look away. I’m watching it while I’m working out. I’m watching it while I’m in glam. I’m watching it while I have nothing else to do, and I’m a busy girl.”
And she didn’t hold back in sharing her opinions on the iconic four ladies: Parker’s Carrie, Davis’ Charlotte, Cattrall’s Samantha and Nixon’s Miranda. But when Evan Ross Katz reshared those takes on Parker chimed in in the comment’s section, simply writing, “Hmmmm….”
As for Megan’s many thoughts? For starters, she’s definitely Team Samantha.
“Is this not a picture of me?” Megan quipped when looking at the photo of Cattrall as the sex-positive PR boss. “Because she is me. I’m her. When Sex and the City first started for me, I said, ‘Oh, I hate this character. Why y’all making her like sex is the ruler of my life.’ I was like, ‘It’s a horrible character.’ But then as the show kept going, I’m like, ‘Wait a minute.’”
As for why the “Hot Girl Summer” artist related to Samantha, she noted, “She runs men. She don’t let men run her. She keeps trying to tell the girls, stop making the man the center of your life.”
And while she doesn’t see herself as a Charlotte, Megan would like to be in the homemaker’s orbit.
“My girl. She is a little delulu, but it’s cute,” Megan said of Charlotte. “She would be my bestie because she’s so emotional, and I feel like it’s okay to cry. It’s okay to be a little crazy.”
However, the “Bongos” emcee is not a fan of high-powered lawyer Miranda.
“This is the worst character on the show,” she insisted. “I cannot stand Miranda. She never got nothing good to say. She’s so sad all the time.”
And in the divorce, Megan would pick Miranda’s ex Steve (David Eigenberg) every time.
“First of all, Steve, is the best character on the show,” she gushed. “How can anybody even fix their lips to be mean to Steve and Miranda figured out a way. The only thing Steve ever wanted to do was love this crazy lady.”
And though she thinks sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw is “pretty as f--k,” Megan questioned some of her behavior on the hit HBO show.
“She’s always attractive doing these sicko things. She’s nuts,” Megan said. “But you know what? I see a lot of myself in this character. Carrie really loved drama. She’d literally wake up and figure out, ‘How can I mess up everybody’s day? How can I be my cutest and mess up everybody’s day?’”
But that doesn’t mean Megan is against Ms. Bradshaw. In fact, as she put it, “She could have chosen sanity but she always chose insanity, and I had to wonder, is that me?”
But which couple was the best on Sex and the City? Here's how we'd rank all the pairings:
16. Samantha and Richard
Ugh, what an a--hole.
Best moment: N/A.
15. Carrie and Berger
It's hard to remember the couple's early banter-filled, cute moments after all the horrible, passive-aggressive crap the writer pulled later on. HE BROKE UP WITH HER ON A POST-IT.
Best moment: None are coming to mind at the moment, Berger. We're sorry, we can't. Don't hate us.
14. Samantha and Maria
No one believed this relationship would last, right? Still, Samantha gave it the ol' college try.
Best moment: After a night out with Carrie and her new beau, during which Samantha told Big to "back off," Maria told Samantha she couldn't be just friends.
13. Miranda and Che
Not on fans' bingo cards when they tuned into Max's revival series And Just Like That...? Miranda ending her marriage and following a standup comedian across the country!
Best Moment: For the pure comedy of it all, it has to be Che and Miranda hooking up in Carrie's kitchen while a recovering-from-hip-surgery Carrie peed herself in bed.
12. Carrie and Petrovsky
Oh, the Russian. Their relationship started off too romantic to be true…and it was. He didn't get along with her friends and Carrie's impulsive move to Paris proved to be a disaster.
Best moment: After too many grand romantic gestures, Carrie literally swooned. So naturally, Petrovsky took her, in her dream ball gown, to McDonald's, where they slow-danced while waiting for fries. We literally swooned.
11. Charlotte and Trey
On paper, Trey was the perfect guy for Charlotte. But, the cracks began to show (overbearing mother, "Trey can't get it up," not wanting kids, etc.) soon after their wedding. Also: he gave her a cardboard cut-out baby. Who does that?!
Best moment: When Trey took Charlotte to Tiffany's so she could pick out her dream ring to make up for the infamous "Alrighty!" comment.
10. Samantha and James
The first relationship Samantha had that wasn't based on sex came to an end because of, well, sex. Or James' small penis, to be exact.
Best moment: When Samantha told James she loved him. A huge (no pun intended) moment for her.
9. Miranda and Skipper
Poor, poor Skipper. He was kind of like a Steve-lite, and Miranda was able to walk all over him.
Best moment: When he calls her "luminous" during their chance meeting at a bodega.
8. Anthony and Stanford
Sure, it came out of nowhere in the movies that Carrie's BFF and Charlotte's wedding planner-turned-bestie would get together, but it kind of works for us.
Best moment: In their wedding vows, when Anthony said, "It wasn't love at first sight, but it turns out it was love. You are the first man to accept me for the man that I actually am."
7. Carrie and Aidan
Let's face it, Aidan was a great guy but he wasn't The Guy for Carrie…no matter how hard they both tried to convince themselves that he was. However, season two of And Just Like That... may just prove that second chances are the hottest trend this summer. (Yes, we are refusing to acknowledge their dalliance in Sex and the City 2.)
Best moment: Is it weird that we loved their breakup scene—the second one—where they slept on the floor of the apartment they would never live in together?
6. Miranda and Robert
Talk about a catch. Robert was almost perfect: he was a hot doctor for the New York Knicks who watched the same soaps as Miranda. His one flaw? He just wasn't Steve.
Best moment: Their first kiss at their "lockers," (i.e.: mailboxes). Or her taking a personal day for the first time ever for him. OR THE CHICKEN POX.
5. Samantha and Smith
Of all the guys on SATC, Smith Jerrod might just be the best. He was so patient and so giving with the wild Samantha, who fought tooth and nail not to fall in love with the model-turned-superstar.
Best moment: Who doesn't tear up just thinking about Smith shaving his golden locks for Samantha when she lost her hair while undergoing chemo?
4. Carrie and Big
Absof--kinglutely. (Curse you, Peloton!)
Best moment: Come on, how can we not choose Big going to Paris to finally tell Carrie she's the one? (Although the fart-in-bed/whoopee cushion prank still makes us smile.)
3. Miranda and Steve
Just as Miranda's feelings for Steve snuck up on her, our love for this couple hit us like a ton of bricks—just like their split in And Just Like That...'s first season. Justice for Steve!
Best moment: If any moment perfectly represents SATC's most low-maintenance couple, it was Miranda's out-of-nowhere proposal and their super low-key wedding in the park. So them. So perfect.
2. Charlotte and Harry
They say love often finds you when you least expect it…like when your sweaty putz of a divorce lawyer turns out to be the man of your dreams and the best father to your children you could've imagined.
Best moment: Their mess-filled, imperfectly perfect nuptials. From the beginning of the series, Charlotte wanted the fairy tale wedding, but what she got was the fairy tale marriage.
1. The Girls
"The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them and others you don't, but in the end they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into. And sometimes it's the one you make for yourself."
Best moment: We were SO tempted to choose Carrie walking Miranda down the aisle at her mother's funeral, but we thought a moment with all four girls was appropriate. Our choice? When Miranda doesn't give two shits about her wedding after hearing about Samantha's breast cancer diagnosis, with all four girls tuning out the celebration to just be together. Because that's what friendship is: putting others before yourself.
