It’s about to be a real fit girl fall thanks to Megan Thee Stallion’s latest partnership with sports brand Nike.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday (September 23) to share the good news, the American rapper told fans, “HOTTIES WE ARE OFFICIALLY NIKE HOTTIES…(and) Real Hotties put other Hotties on! So I’m sharing my fitness story to let you know sport is whatever ya want it to be.”

In a promotional clip for the campaign, Megan shares that though she may not be an athlete in the traditional sense of the word, since she doesn’t play basketball, volleyball or run track like she was advised to do as a young girl, dance is her sport.

“I know I make this all look so easy, but this didn’t happen overnight,” said Stallion in the video. “Before I became Thee Stallion, I was a young girl in Houston just trying to find her way.

“Growing up, I remember people saying, ‘Girl you tall! You need to be playing basketball’. ‘Nah, you should be playing volleyball’. ‘With those legs, you need to run track’.

“And I tried them all, but they just weren’t for me, ” stated Megan. “I knew I had to find MY passion and do what made ME happy.”

Redefining her definition of athleticism, the Savage singer stated: “Dance is my sport. Performing is my sport. Rapping is my sport. And if you think this don’t take no work and no effort and no sweat, you’re wrong.”

“I am an athlete and so are you,” said Stallion.

Through the new partnership, Megan has prepared a series of workouts with Nike trainer Tara Nicolas, which are accessible through the Nike Club app.
