Megan Thee Stallion Pays Homage to Britney Spears’ Performance with Python at 2024 MTV VMAs

News

Megan Thee Stallion channeled her inner 2000s pop icon at the 2024 MTV VMAs on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

The 29-year-old “Mamushi” rapper served as the host for the evening at the UBS Arena in New York, and moments into the show, she saluted Britney Spears with one of her many outfit changes.

After a commercial break, Megan stepped on stage in a racy green bikini top with a teal skirt tied to metallic shorts. Although her look featured a pair of head-turning gold boots, the yellow, real-life python wrapped around her neck was the most epic piece in her ensemble.

Spears famously wore the same outfit, including a python, for her “I’m a Slave 4 U” performance at the 2001 award show.

For Megan’s version, she refused to try and play it cool. Instead, she looked extremely nervous with her mouth wide open as she approached the stage.

“Okay!” she said. “Stop the music, stop the music. I’m just playing, come get this snake!”

She made it clear she didn’t want any problems with the huge reptile, adding, “I don’t know this snake, this snake don’t know me.”

She let out a large scream as crew members came to remove the snake. Clearly relieved, she paced back and forth for a few seconds before telling the audience, “I tried to hold it down for Britney.”

Ahead of the show, Megan, who walked the red carpet in a glamorous strapless black gown featuring a black bodysuit and a sheer skirt with dramatic pleats, exclusively told PEOPLE how excited she was about switching up her look several times throughout the show.
