’I Really Like Him’: Megan Thee Stallion Sends the Internet Into a Frenzy After Confirming Relationship with Pardison Fontaine

Houston, we have a problem. Megan Thee Stallion is officially off the market. 

After a month of online chatter, a mysterious Chanel bag, and a cryptic remark during an Instagram Live session, it appears as though Megan and rapper Pardison Fontaine are Instagram official. 

On Friday, Feb. 19, during a Livestream session, the “WAP” emcee, blushing from cheek to cheek, confirmed that she’s “really likes” the “Backing’ It Up” rapper.

“Yeah, he my boyfriend,” Megan said while revealing details about the romantic excursions. “He too fine and he big, I like that. We was in the bed, and I was like, let’s take a break. Let’s revisit this…But no, he is so perfect.” In the comment section, Pardi confirmed their relationship as well, writing, “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thats my baby.

The couple also spent Valentine’s Day together. Taking to his Instagram, Pardi shared several photos from the special day, including a scene of a jet filled with roses and a unique “Pardi with a Hottie” lunch date prepared by a private chef. In one of the snaps, Megan is seen on a bed covered with roses.

Meg also shared a photo from their romantic date on her IG Story. “Still not over it,” she wrote.

Views on the budding romance were mixed. While many people were happy for the two, some, on the other hand, will need some extra time getting over the loss, including one Twitter user who jokingly wrote, “Guys Pardison is dating Megan I am not okay 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭.”

A third fan expressed how happy they were for the female emcee, saying, “I don’t know who Pardison Fontaine is, but to see Megan Thee Stallion blushing & giggling made me smile.” They added, “I’m happy that after what she’s been through the past year or so, she’s in a place of peace and finding what and/or makes her happy. She deserves it.❤️ #MeganTheeStallion.”

“I’m here for Megan thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine, because Pardi is sexy 🥵,” a fourth wrote. 

As mentioned earlier, rumors sparked that the two were dating after Megan shared shots of a Chanel purse she was gifted around the same time Pardi was seen leaving a Chanel store with bags in his hands. The rapper was also rocking a mask from Megan’s Fashion Nova collection.

No official word on how long they’ve been dating, but prior to Pardi, Megan had been linked to rapper Moneybagg Yo and allegedly Tory Lanez, although she did not confirm that herself. The Canadian rapper claimed the two were an item following the now-infamous shooting incident. 

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
