During a recent conversation with InStyle magazine, Megan was asked which celebrity she would choose to be an honorary Angel for a day. The rapper did not hesitate to name Priyanka, praising the actor’s beauty and wondering whether she had ever received her wings. “So many hot ladies,” she said, before adding, “Somebody I just recently saw who is so beautiful is Priyanka. And I don't know if she's ever had her wings before.”

When the interviewer pointed out that Priyanka may not have had the opportunity yet, Megan doubled down on her choice and explained why she wanted to see the actor at the show. "Okay. Well, I would definitely give it to Priyanka because she is tea and I feel like Victoria's Secret Runway need to see that," she declared.
