Megan Thee Stallion

In just a few years, Megan Jovon Ruth Pete went from rapping at Houston kickbacks and strip clubs to becoming one of the biggest new superstars in music, assembling a legion of fans she’s dubbed Thee Hotties. Breaking out as Megan Thee Stallion with 2019’s “Big Ole Freak” from her fantastic EP Tina Snow, she went on to own the Hot Girl Summer, make music and friends Beyoncé, drop more EPs and albums, break records across global music charts, win Grammys, headline festivals – oh, and graduate from Texas Southern University with a degree in Health Administration. Even as she amasses brand deals, movie roles, and credits behind the scenes, she told Rolling Stone that she’s always working to leave a lasting hip-hop legacy: ​​“I just always want people to remember, ‘Yes, Megan Thee Stallion, she was great, she was a rapper. She was one of the best rappers, the coldest.’” —Mankaprr Conteh
