Megan Thee Stallion fans are furious over troubling issues during Coachella set

Megan Thee Stallion fans are furious over troubling issues during Coachella set

Megan Thee Stallion’s legion of fans were disappointed by technical problems that plagued the rapper during her star-studded set at Coachella on Sunday.

The 30-year-old hitmaker — who put on a stunningly busty display at an Oscars afterparty last month — bean to have issues about 20 minutes into her red-H๏τ performance, when she cried out that something was wrong with her microphone, according to The Independent.

Although a backstage helper was able to solve the issue, Megan’s microphone was also implicated in a disappointing ending to the first-weekend set.

According to SFGate, she appeared to be about to launch into another tune toward the end of her show when her microphone abruptly cut out, apparently because she had gone two minutes past her scheduled end time.

Megan’s initial sound issues appeared to beging when her attached microphone reportedly fell off her bustier amid her athletic, high-energy dance routines.

‘Somebody come out here and fix my motherf****** mic!’ she could be heard shouting from other microphones that were still working.

A member of her crew could be seen running on stage and helping reattached the microphone. 

Megan gave them a quick thank you and then continued with her performance as if nothing had happened.

That man putting Megan Thee Stallion’s mic on her bustier had the most stressful high-pressure job ever,’ one fan joked on X.

Another wrote: ‘Megan Thee Stallion’s sweet little “thank youuuu” after this heavy a** song and hollering “someone come fix my f***ing mic” is so cute lol.’ 

Minutes later, she brought out a special guest, Queen Latifah, and Victoria Monét joined her later in the set. 

Ciara also made a surprise appearance to team up with Megan to perform her 2004 song Goodies.

Fans on social media, many of whom caught the show through the livestream broadcast, were stunned by the performance, particularly Megan’s athletic vocals.

Several people posted that ‘Megan Thee Stallion’s mic is on,’ meaning that she wasn’t just lip syncing her performance so as not to become breathless while trying to rap.

However, one fan noted that, although her microphone was definitely on, she still needed the cushioning of the backing track due to how much dancing she was doing. 

But after averting one crisis, Megan’s show ended on a sour note. 

After she had finished her popular song Bil Ole Freak, Megan appeared to be about to launch into another tune, Mamushi.

The mᴀssive LED screens were reportedly cued up for the song, and viewers at home could hear the start of the backing track for the song. 

However, people in the audience at Coachella heard none of that, as the speakers were turned off around 9:27 p.m., around two minutes after her scheduled end time, according to SFGate. 

Megan’s microphone also appeared to have cut off, and the visuals for Mamushi were replaced on the screens by a camera feed of the stage. 

Megan reportedly vented her frustrations into her microphone, which went unheard at the festival but did make it through to livestream viewers. 

‘Don’t y’all do the H๏τties like that,’ she reportedly cried out, adding, ‘Run Mamushi back for the motherf***ing H๏τties.’ Megan finally gave up, declaring, ‘B****, they said we gotta go!’ 

Minutes after the mic malfunction she brought out a special guest, Queen Latifah; seen Sunday at Coachella in Indio, Calif.
