Megan Thee Stallion Heats Things Up on Love Island USA as She Introduces 2 Surprise Bombshells

Megan Thee Stallion made a splash when she arrived on Love Island USA.

During an appearance on the June 19 episode of the Peacock dating series, the Grammy-winning rapper, 30, hosted a challenge — and promoted her “Hot Girl Summer” swimwear line.

The challenge saw the girls take on the boys in three rounds of competition, with the winners earning a new bombshell entering the villa. The first round — a twerking challenge —ended in a tie. The boys took round 2 — a limbo competition — before the girls won the final round by completing a puzzle of their new bombshell first.

With the teams tied, Megan announced two new bombshells: 23-year-old TJ Palma from Westchester, New York and 24-year-old Andreina Santos from New Jersey.

In a teaser for an upcoming episode, Nick was seen laughing with Andreina while Cierra showed interest in TJ, saying, “I would like to get to know you more.” But it may not be smooth sailing for the pair as TJ also made out with Iris during the “soul ties” segment.

Megan Thee Stallion also dished out some advice for viewers amid contestants receiving backlash.

“It’s so easy to watch people on TV and just forget that these are real human beings,” she said.

“These are real ladies, these are real women with real feelings,” she added.

Ahead of her appearance, the musician teased that she would be arriving at the villa in Fiji.

“HOTTIES A REAL BOMBSHELL IS ENTERING THEE VILLA,” she shared in a post on X alongside a video of her walking in a gold bikini and matching heels.
