Megan Thee Stallion is following in the footsteps of fellow celebrity Miley Cyrus by partnering with financial payments company Square Inc.’s SQ Cash App to give away $1 million worth of stock to her fans.
What Happened: Megan Thee Stallion said on Twitter that she is partnering with Cash App to teach her fans about how to invest in stocks.
The rapper also released a video, “Investing for Hotties,” the first in a series of financial tutorials for her fans.

Why It Matters: In April, Miley Cyrus said she is giving away $1 million worth of stock in partnership with Cash App.
Technology giants and online brokerages are increasingly utilizing the power of social media to attract investors to stocks. Square CEO Jack Dorsey is also the co-founder of Twitter Inc. TWTR.
Interest in stocks has seen a boom as a larger number of retail investors began dabbling in the stock markets amid the pandemic.
Price Action: Square shares closed more than 2% lower in Wednesday’s trading session at $243.80.
