Megan Thee Stallion shared a photo of a letter she received Rep. Maxine Waters where the congresswoman praised the rapper for her recent op-ed piece for the New York Times. "I can't thank you enough for bringing much needed attention to the plight of Black women, not just here in the United States - but everywhere," Waters wrote.

"While we are too often overlooked, there is no doubt that Black women are a glue for our families and communities," Waters added. "And a crucial part of the fabric of this country."

"One of the highlights of my year was getting a letter from Congress Woman @repmaxinewaters," Megan wrote in the caption to her post. "I am so honored to be recognized by such an amazing woman and I promise to keep using my voice and encourage others to use theirs." After sharing the letter, Meg jumped back into twerking action as she uploaded another video showing that her knees are still as strong as ever.
