Megan Thee Stallion has reflected on the decision to take her mother off life support.
The Savage rapper's mum, Holly Thomas, died in 2019 from a brain tumour. She was 47.
As part of her new documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, Megan recalled making the decision to switch off the life support machine after Holly started having "back-to-back seizures".
"They had to put her under. 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," the 29-year-old remembered. "Once I realised she wasn't coming back, I was just like, 'Damn, I can't keep her like this.' Because I know she wouldn't have wanted to stay like this. So I had to make the decision to pull the plug, and she just passed the next day."
The Cry Baby star admitted that she struggled in the aftermath of her mum's death.
"When my mama passed away, I think I really forgot who I was and I lost a lot of confidence," she continued. "I was so used to my mama telling me what to do and when life started getting crazy I didn't have her."
In 2021, Megan talked about how her mum, who was her "best friend", and grandmother shaped her.
"My mom and (late great-grandmother) filled me with self-love and determination," she said. "Because of them, I never felt unworthy of my success and my womanhood. Because of them, I've learned to be competitive with myself and that other women don't need to lose for me to win."
