Imagine a young Texan girl with dreams bigger than her hair, scribbling rhymes in her notebook, ready to take on the world. That's Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, aka Megan Thee Stallion, before the lights, the cameras, and the global stardom. Born in 1995 to a mother who was also a rapper, Holly-Wood, Megan's flair for music was inherited. She started writing raps at 16, but it wasn't until she battled male rappers while studying at Prairie View A&M University that she really honed her craft. Her breakthrough mixtape, 'Fever', and the single 'Big Ole Freak' catapulted her from a local sensation to a relentless force in hip-hop. Megan's journey from those early days to chart-topping hits is nothing short of inspirational—proving that with talent, hustle, and a bit of H-town swag, even college cyphers can lead to Grammy-winning triumphs. As we explore her monster hits like Savage and Hot Girl Summer, let's not forget the hustle that got her here.
