Megan Thee Stallion recreated Britney Spears’ iconic VMAs “I’m a Slave 4 U” outfit at the 2024 show — live snake and all.
The “WAP” rapper, who hosted the MTV music awards Wednesday night at UBS Arena in Elmont, NY, changed several times throughout the evening.
However, her most notable ensemble paid homage to the Princess of Pop herself.
At one point, cameras panned over to the 29-year-old rapper, who was standing in a section of the audience.
She was dressed in a chartreuse wrap bra with a huge sparkly broach in the center, metallic booty shorts with bright blue sheer fabric panels dangling from the sides, bedazzled suede tan boots, tons of body jewelry and an albino python worn like a shawl.
As Spears’ 2001 hit played in the background, a panic-stricken Megan said into the mic she was holding, “OK! OK! Stop the music! Stop the music! I’m just playing! Come get this thing! I don’t know this thing; this thing don’t know me.”
A handler immediately entered the shot and carefully unwrapped the snake from the hip-hop star’s frozen body.
Though she managed to stay still for most of the removal, Megan eventually let out a scream and darted away from both the man and the reptile.
The musician smiled nervously and fixed her hair as she paced for a few seconds before reclaiming her composure.
