AMAs: Why is Megan Thee Stallion not performing with BTS? Rapper ‘sad’ for dropping out

The ‘Savage’ hitmaker’ took to her official Twitter account to drop the bomb just a day before the award show

The 49th edition of the American Music Awards also known as the AMAs is all set to take place on Sunday, November 21 at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles. While the fans are getting excited about the coveted award ceremony, a little dent left the fans disappointed. Megan Thee Stallion, who was all set to perform alongside K-pop icons BTS, has dropped out of the award ceremony leaving the fans of both artists disheartened.
 
The renowned female emcee shared the reason behind her decision of not showing up saying it was a “personal matter” adding that she was sad for not showing up. BTS, who has scored three nominations at 2021 AMAs i.e. Artist Of The Year, Favorite Pop Duo/Group and Favorite Pop Song, will now probably perform their song ‘Butter Remix’ sans the 26-year-old emcee. They might also perform the original track. If all was good, this would have been the very first time when Megan and BTS would have performed their song live together on stage.
