Gloria: Megan Thee Stallion's Role

Megan plays the role of Gloria, the main character's boss. Writers had yet to learn who would play the role initially, so it was crafted for a singer. The anthem Gloria performs to put the twin brothers in their place is called "Out Alpha the Alpha." When Megan Thee Stallion was selected to play Gloria, Jackson, and Sharp rushed to rework the song to make it fit a more hip-hop style. Jackson told Entertainment Weekly, "Of course, she could do whatever she wanted, but then she just rapped every wild line. She said, 'People know I'm dirty but y'all are dirty.' We couldn't believe she did it. She was very much down to clown, on board, didn't question anything, and was just like, 'I want to do this crazy stuff y'all wrote. Let's do this dumb thing together."

The theme of the song fits well with her normal feminist tone and paints men as needy and a tad bit weak. She proudly boasts about her success and wealth while demanding the respect she rightly deserves. The song's lyrics encourage women to have grit and be steadfast in male-dominated spaces, where women often feel powerless. In the end, the song even paints a picture of how wonderful a female-dominated world would be, illustrating the beauty of equality.

Her delivery shows an unapologetic queen, and we absolutely love to see it!
