Megan Thee Stallion Reunited At Los Angeles Pride With Classmate She Defended Against Homophobia
Megan Thee Stallion hit the stage to perform an entertaining headlining set at Los Angeles Pride on June 9.
While performing, the “Savage” rapper stopped the show after recognizing her former classmate from middle school, Carlos Rubalcava.
“Bi*ch, what is my classmate from middle school [doing here]?” she asked the audience.
Ruvalcaba joined Megan onstage, where they laughed, danced, and of course twerked, as noted by Vulture. After the reunion, he took to social media to share the special moment and highlight Megan’s early advocacy for him during their time together in middle school.
“I have so much respect for [Megan] since the time in middle school when I was being talked down being called Gay when I wasn’t out yet and she stepped in and defended me,” Ruvalcaba wrote in a post shared on Twitter.
“I was a little boy back then and she always had my back!! I’ll forever be Fan girl I love you!!!”

The “Her” rapper trended throughout the weekend for putting on an amazing show for the LGBTQ+ community. It’s among her returning performances since coming out of hiatus following the Tory Lanez trial, where the rapper was found guilty of shooting her in July 2020.
Megan announced that she doesn’t plan on releasing any new music while she tours and returns to the spotlight following her traumatic experience. She’s also gearing up for another case with her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment.
