Fans lined up along the strip as Megan pulled up for the grand opening, personally serving the first customers and posing for photos as the neon Popeyes sign glowed behind her like a victory crown. This moment has been years in the making; Megan first teamed up with Popeyes back in 2021 for her signature Hottie Sauce and secured a franchise deal that positioned her not just as a face of the brand, but as an owner in the making. Now that the doors of her Miami location are open, the Houston superstar is showing young Black entrepreneurs what it looks like to turn a viral collab into long-term ownership, proving once again that the real flex is equity, not just endorsement checks.
