But she needn’t fret. Because her friend and fellow hitmaker Megan Thee Stallion was on hand to help.

In the latest episode of the latter’s original Snapchat series, ‘Off Thee Leash,’ the femcee (who was accompanied by her dog Dior) invited her fellow Texan to the Hot Girl Ranch to put on a prom of their own.

LisaRaye McCoy stopped by The Wendy Williams Show this week for a fun-filled chit-chat.

Chopping it up with guest host Sherri Shepherd, the 54-year-old kept it candid (as always) and waxed honest about mending fences with sister Da Brat – following their much-publicized fall-out.
