Megan Thee Stallion raps in “Savage” that she’s “classy, bougie, ratchet,” but at home, she’s also gourmet.
“You would not think that people are walking around my house asking me to make them food, but that is definitely happening to me,” she says.
Speaking with TODAY.com in partnership with Dunkin’, the three-time Grammy winner has risen from humble beginnings to the top of the music game with several No. 1 hits and an entire season in her musical chokehold, and she says her love of cooking is a big part of her offstage life.
“It’s something as basic as a breakfast sandwich,” she says, adding that her cooking often skews Southern due to her roots. “It’s just bread, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, little hot sauce, little mayo, and I don’t know why it tastes so good.”
Megan says her go-to dishes include roast beef with potatoes (which she says she’s “figuring out” the ideal recipe for), oxtails and spaghetti.
The latter is documented in an August 2025 TikTok in which she prepares pasta with catfish, a Southern delicacy, for boyfriend Klay Thompson, who she says asks for it “like every week.”
“I’m getting in my bag. I’m getting in my wifely era,” she tells TODAY.com.
Indeed, the rapper cycles through several monikers like Tina Snow and H-town Hottie, but in her cooking videos, she’s the Hot Girl Chef.
She’s shared everything from a cooking tutorial on fried Hot Cheeto pickles to a cookbook-worthy Thanksgiving spread she prepared before meeting Thompson’s family, which included several sides, dressing, a brined and basted turkey and barbecue baked beans — a recipe she’s keeping close to the chest.
“I mean, I can’t just be giving out my secret recipes now. My grandma would in an uproar, OK?” she says, but offers a tidbit of info. “Just know that it’s packed with lots of meat, lots of vegetables.”
Megan is enjoying the release of her aerobics-inspired ad for Dunkin’ to launch Protein Milk and her own drink: Megan’s Mango Protein Refresher.
She says she’s not into “sugary drinks,” so the drink is subtly sweet with mango flavor mixed with Protein Milk, which pairs well with her smooth original track for the commercial.
“I had already been working on a song about working out and I didn’t know when I was gonna drop it,” she says, so she kept the track on ice for a while. Then Dunkin’ called.
“When the Dunkin’ collab came to me and they were like, ‘Oh yeah, and by the way, we need a song,’” Megan says. “I was like, ‘God, boom, I have it. I have the perfect home for this song.’ This is when opportunity just meets preparedness. So boom, here we go.”
While her composing and rapping prowess flows through the airwaves, her cooking acumen stays in her home kitchen at the moment. But, when asked, she said she is open to doing a culinary show — or a cooking segment on a certain morning TV show.
“I definitely would,” she says. “Hit me up.”
