Over the past few years, Megan Thee Stallion has rapidly ascended to the pinnacle of the rap industry. Coming from Houston, Texas, Megan began her career by posting freestyle videos on social media, which quickly garnered significant attention for her raw talent and magnetic persona. In 2019, her breakthrough came with the release of her first extended play, Tina Snow, followed by her 2019 mixtape, Fever. Soon, her confident and unapologetic style earned her a devoted fanbase. But, there’s no denying that it was her 2019 anthem entitled “Hot Girl Summer,” featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign that catapulted her to mainstream success, establishing her as a defining voice in contemporary hip-hop.
Megan has come a long way since her YouTube days; the artist has clinched multiple prestigious awards and nominations, including Grammys and AMAs.
