Megan Thee Stallion & Her Dog 4oe Star in Westminster Dog Show Ad

New York City’s Madison Square Garden hosted a unique promotional event Tuesday night, featuring rapper Megan Thee Stallion and her French bulldog, 4oe, in an advertisement for the 2026 Westminster Dog Show. The campaign, which debuted February 3rd, casts 4oe as a runway model, with Megan providing narration.

“The Big Apple. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere,” Megan states in the advertisement, continuing, “But first, you gotta be able to walk the walk, baby. Ain’t that right, 4oe?” The spot highlights 4oe’s poise and presence, emphasizing the competitive spirit of the prestigious dog show. Megan notes the 2026 show will celebrate “over a century and a half of stunning champions.”

The advertisement coincides with the aftermath of the 2026 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, where Penny the Doberman Pinscher was crowned Best in Show. People magazine reported that the four-year-old Penny bested over 3,000 competitors representing 50 states and 17 countries. Notably, Penny’s handler, Andy Linton, previously secured the Best in Show title in 1989 with a Doberman named Indy.

Megan Thee Stallion’s appearance in the Westminster ad is the latest in a series of business ventures for the Houston-born rapper. Earlier in 2026, she announced the opening of a Popeyes franchise in Miami’s South Beach and spearheaded Dunkin’s “Dunk N’ Pump” marketing campaign, signaling a continued expansion into entrepreneurial pursuits beyond music.

The Westminster Dog Show, founded in 1877, remains a prominent event in the world of purebred dogs, attracting significant media attention and a dedicated following. The Westminster Kennel Club’s website details the show’s history and breed standards.
