Personal quote:
“I’m not afraid of criticism, and I don’t fear judgment. I’m here to do me and inspire other women to do the same.”
Early Life and Career:
Megan Thee Stallion was raised in Houston’s South Park neighborhood by her mother, Holly Thomas, a rapper who performed under the name “Holly-Wood.” Megan would often accompany her mother to the studio, where she was exposed to the music industry from a young age. Though she began writing raps at 14, her mother didn’t allow her to professionally pursue music until she was older. Megan adopted the stage name “Thee Stallion” due to her tall, curvy figure, a term used in the South for statuesque women.
While attending Texas Southern University, Megan began uploading freestyle videos to Instagram and YouTube, where her confident delivery and lyrical wit earned her a viral following. Her 2018 mixtape Tina Snow introduced her alter ego and caught the attention of critics and fans alike. In 2019, she signed with 300 Entertainment and dropped Fever, featuring the hit “Cash Shit” with DaBaby.
2020 marked a turning point with the release of Savage Remix featuring Beyoncé, topping the Billboard Hot 100. Her collaboration with Cardi B on “WAP” shook the internet, breaking records and sparking global debates. Her debut album Good News followed, showcasing her lyrical depth and resilience.

In 2022, Megan won three Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. She has since expanded into acting, appearing in P-Valley and making a cameo in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

Megan has signed several brand deals with companies like Revlon, Nike, and Coach, and continues to use her platform to advocate for causes close to her heart. She’s currently working on new music, a documentary, and hinted at a future fashion line in interviews.
