In her piece about Megan, Taraji wrote, “It’s invigorating to see her become a platinum-selling artist. But you would be a fool to think that’s all there is to her. She’s deep. She’s enrolled in college. She’s an entertainer. She’s a free spirit; I see that in her. The industry might try to pigeonhole her in this rap game, but she’s got a plan that’s much bigger. And we got her. I just want her to keep winning.”
“Megan @theestallion rode the beat like I’d never heard anybody ride the beat in a long time—and I’m a hip-hop head. There was something about this woman. Once you discover her, you become a fan,” @tarajiphenson writes #TIME100 https://t.co/LcLolXIpAI pic.twitter.com/7YzFeyq2fM

In The Weeknd’s introduction piece, Elton John had nothing but nice things to say about the singer. He said, “He has so many different types of music tucked up his sleeve that he incorporates into his vision. He’s not interested in commerciality for commerciality’s sake, but he’s one of the biggest-streaming artists on Spotify. Like Prince, he marches to his own beat. That’s an exemplary way for an artist to be.”
