Prior to this, Internet users were calling out Beyonce and Megan Thee Stallion, who are both from Houston, for not speaking on the natural disaster. "Literally. I'm not saying people gotta look to celebs for anything... but if your HOME STATE is going through a whole crisis? Not a word from Beyonce or Megan... but they're Texas proud? Please. I'm sickkk," one critic wrote on Twitter.
"megan thee stallion's silence on the texas snow storm is very telling," another user added of the "Good News" raptress, who has yet to comment on the winter storms as of now. Echoing the sentiment, someone added, "I find it very annoying that @theestallion hasn't said or did anything to help Texas. Not even a post or story... but that's home. Oh wooow."
