Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles’ exceptional performances at the Paris Olympics have not gone unnoticed by the celebrities. Many of them attended the team finals in Paris and congratulated them after winning the gold medal. However, hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion’s praise will have a special place in their heart. This is because both of them are huge fans of hers and have used her songs numerous times in their celebratory TikToks. In fact, Jordan Chiles is such a huge fan of hers that Megan herself sent her flowers to congratulate her when she qualified for the Olympics.
Chiles has also said that she’d love to collaborate with Megan on a music video. She said, “Friend, if you are listening to this, I will be in your music video.” She then added, “I can do a flip, twist, twirl — whatever it is. People call me ‘Jordan the Pony’ because of how tiny I am.” Thus, it was special when she shouted out both gymnasts at the VMA awards while wearing a Simone Biles-like leotard.
Megan Thee Stallion hosted the 2024 MTV VMAs. During the opening monologue of the show, she shouted out two US gymnastics stars, Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles. She wore a dress similar to the US team’s leotard sported by Simone’s with the country’s flag designed on it. The words VMA were printed in the middle. Megan said, “As you can see, I’m repping team VMA and tonight VMA stands for the voluptuous Megan awards. Clearly, I deserve a gold medal for being a bad b-ch.”

Jordan Chiles was there in the award show to present the first award of the show alongside Flavor Flav. Megan introduced them by saying, “He’s the public enemy icon who introduced us to some of the baddest women we know on reality TV and now he’s teaching us Water Polo. She is a two-time Olympian; give it up for my girl, Jordan Chiles!” It was a huge moment for Jordan Chiles, as she got cheered on by thousands of people. Her family enjoyed it too.

One user said, “Megan is so funny and so caring at the same time.” The caring nature came out when she presented Jordan Chiles to the audience and how she has backed her since the Olympics. She has always been quite supportive of the gymnast, which is why people like her. “She ain’t wrong,” commented one user on her claim of how she should get a gold medal for being a bad b—tch. Then, another commented on Megan’s dress. She had also wore a dress in the same show, paying tribute to Britney Spears. The user said, “Megan Thee Stallion went from paying tribute to Britney Spears and Simone Biles to putting on a great show on stage. Incredible.” But the Simone Biles leotard also had similarities with another celebrity outfit.

The outfit the hip-hop star wore was similar to the one worn by Beyonce during her tour, which had USA written in the middle. However, apparently Beyonce was giving tribute to Simone Biles too. A user defending Megan said, “Yall idiots and Beyoncé and Meg were paying homage to Simone Biles!”. At the end, one user who didn’t like Megan Thee Stallion’s hosting said, “Ain’t nobody watching that sh*t, let alone her lmaooooooooo.” But nothing will make everyone happy. The general fanbase enjoyed Megan praising Simone and Chiles. They definitely deserved it too, considering their performances in Paris and throughout their career.
