Megan Thee Stallion Says Being With Pardison Fontaine Makes Her ‘Feel Good’
Megan Thee Stallion is gushing over her boyfriend fellow rapper Pardison "Pardi" Fontaine. Meg confirmed her relationship with Pardi in February on Instagram Live after much speculation and since then they have been sharing cute moments with each other on social media, including how they spent their Valentine's Day.
They even made their red carpet debut at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in May where they matched each other's fly.

On the season premiere of Taraji P. Henson's Facebook Watch show Peace of Mind with Taraji, the "H-Town hottie" opened up about what it feels like to be with the New Yorker.
"My boyfriend does make me very happy. He definitely does take care of me emotionally. He makes my brain feel good. He makes my heart feel good. That's definitely a big thing for me because I used to be so into the physical, right like… but he moves me, he inspires me, and we just feel like a real team."
This is the first time the 26-year-old has talked about Pardi publicly outside of social media. The first time she spoke on their relationship was during Instagram Live when she came to the defense of the rapper following a video that appeared to be him making concerning noises in the background.
"People don't know what the hell they talking about, they just be saying anything. I didn't like what they was trying to say about Pardi 'cause he is so calm and so sweet."
She later said, "Yeah he my boyfriend. I never said hot girls can't have boyfriends."
While the "Hot Girl" is no stranger to being an open book online, Pardi appears to be the opposite.
The 31-year-old's claim to fame is his 2018 hit song "Backin' It Up" with Cardi B, but he also has other credits that many people may not know.
He's a Grammy award-winning writer who has ghost written for many artists including Cardi B, Kanye West, Lil Nas X and more. He even co-wrote his girlfriend's hit song "Savage Remix," which he won the Grammy for and additionally co-wrote "WAP."

ItGirl In Motion: DonYé Taylor Asked Herself This Question When Creating Her Brainchild
"Being an 'ItGirl' is all about being yourself and taking all of the elements that make you who you are and displaying them at your highest capability," creative brainiac DonYé Taylor says in the introduction of the limited video series, "ItGirl In Motion."
In partnership with Hyundai, xoNecole has unveiled the limited series in conjunction with our inaugural ItGirl 100 list. The list boasts 100 Black women who not only innovate and take up space when it comes to putting on for their cities, but also as the driving force behind brands that create impact for the culture.

As a marketing consultant, content creator, and CEO, a driving force behind DonYé's ambitions has been to show others how she sees the world by "creating art and doing things that shift perspective." In founding her brainchild, Nüclei, which is coincidentally also home to the ever-so-chic chrome brain piggybank, DonYé briefly touched on the inspiration behind the brand. "I was like, 'What would it look like if I were to be of service to myself?' And that's what made me create Nuclei," she said.
Watch the video above to take a peek into the life of the LA-based ItGirl, the importance of Black women receiving our "flowers" while we're here, and the three things she believes are absolutely essential to any ItGirl.
