Move over, Forever 21! Megan Thee Stallion officially owns ‘Hot Girl Summer’
It is safe to say rapper Megan Thee Stallion officially
owns the phrase ‘Hot Girl Summer’ as she has been successful in filing for the
trademark.
Megan said that she created the phrase but didn’t
think to claim ownership of it initially. However, when she saw big companies using
her creation in marketing, she had to do something.
“When I saw Wendy’s and Forever 21 saying: ‘Hey,
are you having a Hot Girl Summer?’ I was like, ‘Hell no, Forever 21, you’re
going to have to pay me’,” she said.
Megan also said that she wanted to trademark the
creation because it represents her.
“I just wanted to get it trademarked because it’s me.
It’s my thing,” she said.
In addition to ‘Hot Girl Summer’, Megan now owns other phrases like ‘Hot Nerd Shit and ‘Hot Girl Semester’.
