Megan Thee Stallion has always been full of confidence and energy, but this time, fans saw a different side of her. She went live on Instagram and started crying after her new song, Whenever didn’t do well. The song came out and only got about 366,000 streams on Spotify on the first day. It made it to number 157 on the US chart, which is low for someone as famous as Megan.

During the live video, Megan The Stallion looked sad. She said she has been feeling lost. She was trying to speak about something, but she couldn't articulate it and thought it would be best to come back later. Fans were quick to notice. Many were shocked to see her like that. Some felt bad and wanted to send her love. Others had more honest opinions and started talking about the song and her recent style of music.
