"First Beyoncé, now Meg" - Post Malone memes erupt as internet reacts to Megan Thee Stallion's Coachella set being cut short

Rapper and songwriter Megan Thee Stallion performed at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on the night of April 13, 2025. Artists like Queen Latifah and Ciara joined her on stage.

While Megan extended her set, she reportedly ended her performance abruptly by saying:

“I gotta go. I love y’all so much, thank y’all. See y’all next weekend!”

In the wake of her exit, Thee Stallion’s fans online are alleging her set was cut short because of Post Malone’s headline performance. For instance, X user @wyetthasspoken shared a GIF of a fight and captioned the post:

“ITS ALWAYS POST MALONE CUTTING MY GIRLS SHORT! FIRST BEYONCÉ NOW MEG!!

Many people joined the conversation and shared similar meme-worthy reactions on the platform.

“They cut Megan’s set short for… *checks notes* Post Malone? Okay,” a person wrote.

“No shade but Post Malone don’t gotta go on, like Megan can stay instead,” another person wrote.

“And they really should've let Megan keep going, nobody checking for Post Malone,” a netizen wrote.

Others continued to chime in.

“Something about Megan having to get off the stage for Post Malone just doesn’t sit right with my spirit,” another netizen wrote.

“They didn't let her finish for Post Malone!?! #MEGCHELLA” a fan wrote.

“Cutting Megan off for Post Malone. This needs to be the last Coachella,” another fan wrote.

Neither Megan Thee Stallion nor Post Malone has addressed the matter.

Meanwhile, the internet also debated whether Malone should have headlined over Megan at this year’s Coachella.

Notably, it was rumored that Post Malone previously cut short Queen Bey’s performance at the NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show in December 2024 at Houston’s NRG Stadium. However, that turned out to be an online theory.

In reality, he joined Beyoncé to sing a duet of her single Levii’s Jeans from her country album, Cowboy Carter. Later, he thanked her via X for including him in her “beautiful record” as well as for sharing her “talent and art with the world.”

Post Malone signed off by expressing his love for Beyoncé.
