Megan Thee Stallion isn’t just a savage onstage — she’s a savage in the crypto world, as well. After killing it on stage at Rolling Loud in Miami and Lollapalooza in Chicago, the incredible Tina Snow, AKA Hot Girl CEO, has just dropped her second CashApp financial education video — and this time, she’s educating the hotties about Bitcoin. “It’s the new digital currency that’s been getting a lot of hype,” she explains in the two-minute video. “Bitcoin is a new kind of money.

If you believe Carl Crawford, she did not. Per TMZ, Crawford is claiming that “Something for the Hotties” doesn’t qualify as an album — but Megan’s lawyer suggests otherwise. “This is yet another absurd attempt by 1501 to disregard Megan’s album and squeeze more money and more free work out of her for as long as possible,” said Brad Hancock, the lawyer for Megan Thee Stallion. “We will ask the court to protect Megan from this type of...
