In the Prime Video documentary, Megan recalls the difficult moments as her mother battled severe health issues. Holly Thomas, who passed away in March 2019 from a brain tumor, had been experiencing “back-to-back seizures” during her final days, a heart-wrenching ordeal that Megan now shares publicly. “They had to put her under,” she explains, her voice filled with emotion. “She was just brain dead. So I stayed up there every day. I was spending the night at the hospital. I just was praying that she could shake back from it.”
Reflecting on her painful decision, Megan tearfully remembers the moment she realized her mother wasn’t going to recover. “Once I realized she wasn’t coming back, I was just like, ‘Damn, I can’t keep her like this,’” she says. Knowing that her mother wouldn’t have wanted to remain in such a state, Megan made the difficult choice to “pull the plug,” and Holly passed away the following day, reported People.
The loss of her mother came at a crucial time in Megan’s life, just as her career was gaining momentum. Only three weeks after making the heart-wrenching decision, she returned to the stage, driven by the memory of her mother’s unwavering support. “Y’all know that 2019 has been really tough for me,” Megan explains. “I don’t wanna cancel none of my shows, and I didn’t want to stop going, because that’s not what my mama would want me to do.” She reflects on her mother’s role as her “number one fan,” who supported her through “all the ass-shakin’ and cussin’.”
In sharing her story, Megan gives fans a glimpse into her journey of resilience and grief, emphasizing the dedication she felt to honor her mother’s legacy by continuing her career. Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words captures the rapper’s raw emotions and her determination to rise above tragedy, showcasing her strength and vulnerability as she navigates life after her mother’s passing.
