The article contains editorializing and pontification by the author. The author expresses her opinion that Megan Thee Stallion's self-titled third album is a 'sour sermon on superiority' and that the rapper's world is one of 'false friends, mutually adulterous relationships, and incessant betrayal.' These are the author's interpretations of the album and its themes, rather than facts. The author also expresses her own feelings towards the album, such as finding it 'difficult to envy [Megan]' and describing it as 'extremely uneasy listening.' These are not statements made by Megan Thee Stallion herself but rather the author's reactions to the album. Additionally, there is a lack of disclosure of sources in the article.

The author makes several statements that are true and do not contain any fallacies. However, there is one instance of an appeal to authority when the author quotes Megan's statement about the anime-sampling track and her experience with changing the names of characters in it. This does not significantly impact the overall score as it only accounts for a small portion of the article.
