In keeping with Allure, rapper Megan Thee Stallion could also be on the brink of launch a line of her very personal intercourse toys. On Might 28, 2022, an utility to trademark the title “GOOD SEXXX” was filed by Thee Stallion’s Scorching Woman Trademark Holdings, LLC with america Patent and Trademark Workplace. The great and companies related to the trademark embrace “Intercourse toys”; “Intercourse toys within the nature of edible underwear”; “Grownup sexual stimulation aids, specifically, synthetic penises, synthetic vaginas, vibrators, and anal beads”; “Electrical therapeutic massage home equipment, specifically, electrical vibrating massager”; and “Love dolls.” The present standing of the appliance is “Awaiting Examination.”
If Thee Stallion is angling to get into the intercourse toy enterprise, which, based on Grand View Research, is projected to generate practically $33 billion globally this 12 months and projected to generate over $62 billion globally in 2030, she received’t be the primary superstar to take action. Her predecessors embrace actress and entrepreneur Gwyneth Paltrow, who launched a goop-branded Double-Sided Wand Vibrator ($98) final 12 months; actress and mannequin Cara Delevingne, who co-owns and serves as inventive advisor to Lora DiCarlo, a intercourse toy firm (and who in 2019 was noticed transporting a $390 intercourse bench with then rumored girlfriend Ashley Benson); “Fifty Shades of Gray” star Dakota Johnson, who’s an investor in and co-creative director of maude, a “sexual wellness” firm; and “Actual Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi Burruss, the founding father of Bedroom Kandi, the mission of which, its web site states, is to “destigmatize intimacy and self-love, promote sexual wellness and schooling, and empower entrepreneurs to search out success and happiness within the enterprise of enjoyment.” Male celebrities have moved into the intercourse toy area much less often. In 2005, 50 Cent told GQ that he needed to make “a motorized model of me,” a vibrator that will be waterproof and “in all probability be blue.” (So far as I can inform, 50 Cent’s motorized model of himself by no means got here to fruition.)
This isn’t Thee Stallion’s first foray into the trademark course of. Earlier this 12 months, the USPTO awarded her a trademark for “HOT GIRL SUMMER” after a prolonged two-year battle. Different Scorching Woman Trademark Holdings, LLC emblems embrace “MEGAN THEE STALLION,” “COGNAC QUEEN,” “HOT GIRL MEG,” “HOT GIRL SEMESTER,” “REAL HOT GIRL SHIT,” “HOT GIRL, I DO HOT SHIT,” “HOTTIEWEEN,” and “HOTTIE BOOTCAMP.”
The potential intercourse toy enterprise is a part of the performer’s increasing model empire. Final 12 months, she signed a first-look cope with Netflix to supply a forthcoming sequence and different initiatives, telling Forbes: “Venturing into manufacturing is the following step in my journey as an entrepreneur and I can’t wait to deliver all my concepts to life and for my Hotties to look at.” “Hotties” are what the rapper’s legions of followers confer with themselves as.
Initially from Houston, Thee Stallion is probably finest identified for “WAP,” her musical collaboration with fellow performer Cardi B that references the graphic standing of their non-public elements. Thee Stallion has three Grammys below her belt: Finest New Artist in 2021, and Finest Rap Music and Finest Rap Efficiency for “Savage” that includes Beyonce in 2021.
