We love the fact that social media brings us closer to our favorite artists than ever before.
Back in the day, you would have had access to one or two magazine interviews with your favorite singer, and maybe a photoshoot to go alongside the text.
Now you have streaming video, status updates, and candid interactions that make you feel like you are among the stars yourself!
We’ve learned so much about our favorite artists this way, and we’ve put together a few of the most intriguing facts you may now know. Let’s check them out.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Height
It may not seem like a big deal, but Megan’s height actually earned her the name Stallion in the first place! Exactly how tall is Megan Thee Stallion?
According to her official sources, she’s 5 feet, 10 inches. That’s taller than most ladies for sure! She definitely uses all that height to her advantage, because she is awesome rapper.
Post Malone’s Ghost Stories
Can you picture Post Malone drunkenly investigating a haunted house?
Back in June of 2018, Post reportedly did a little partying in Vegas, then ended up coming into contact with an ancient Jewish Spirit known as a Dybbuk at when visiting the Haunted Museum late at night. It almost sounds too strange to be fiction!
Who knows what actually went down, but for the next year, Post had a pretty bad streak of luck. He experienced a near-crash in his jet, then totaled his car and had his house robbed!
Maybe he did get a curse after all, but we hope he is free of dark spirits now.
Mac Miller’s Sea Turtles
Watching Movies with the Sound Off was a major artistic leap for Mac Miller, and you can experience the record on a new level with this cool easter egg.
Apparently, if you watch the film Turtle: The Incredible Journey (with the sound off, of course) while listening to Mac’s album, the plot points and flow of the movie match the music perfectly!
We’re told you should start the album 101 seconds into the movie to really sync it up. Worth a shot, at least!
2 Chainz Life on the Court
Some people just seem to get all the talent, and 2 Chainz, born Tausheed Epps, is definitely one of those guys.
Not only did 2 Chainz excel in basketball in high school, but he also graduated near the top of his class despite getting in trouble for some illegal extracurricular activity.
He went on to receive an athletic scholarship to Alabama State University but had to switch schools after a couple of years.
The circumstances surrounding 2 Chainz’ basketball career are a bit cloudy, but he definitely had enough skills to play at a high level for a while.
Good thing he had a backup plan of becoming one of the world’s most successful rap artists.
Juice WRLD Broke the Internet
Although he was taken from us too soon in December of 2019, the rapper’s first big posthumous record make a massive splash when it was released seven months after his death.
According to Spotify, the service experienced too many requests to stream Juice’s Legends Never Die album this July. It actually forced the platform to shut down briefly!
While Spotify may have been reeling from this event, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the exceptional, yet shortened career of Juice WRLD. It’s what he would have wanted!
