Megan Thee Stallion’s catchphrase  “Hot Girl Summer” has become a viral meme and is driving the Houston native’s popularity worldwide.

Thanks to her die-hard Hotties fanbase, the phrase has taken off across the country. She defines Hot Girls as being, “being unapologetically YOU, having fun, being confident,living YOUR truth , being the life of the party etc.” She has her own official “Hot Girl Summer” playlist on Spotify with more than 110,000 followers. She has also teased a “Hot Girl Summer” anthem before the summer’s over.

She has now started the process to trademark the phrase itself. It is reported that the trademark was filed on July 10. If it is approved, the trademark will cover merch for products like sportswear, t-shirts and hoodies.

Back in March, Cardi B tried to trademark her signature “Okurrr” saying, but the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ultimately denied her filing, stating that her slogan is a “widely used commonplace expression.”
