Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Jovon Ruth Pete (born February 15, 1995), known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion (pronounced "Megan the Stallion" ), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Born in Bexar County, Texas and raised in South Park, Houston, Megan Thee Stallion began writing and performing raps as a teenager. She first garnered attention when videos of her freestyling became popular on social media platforms such as Instagram. She has released three EPs since 2017—Make It Hot, Tina Snow, and Suga—with the latter two charting on the US Billboard 200. She signed to 300 Entertainment in 2018, and released her first full-length mixtape, Fever, in 2019 to critical acclaim.
In 2020, her single "Savage" went viral on the social media app TikTok and reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart following the release of a remix with Beyoncé. She has won two BET Awards, two BET Hip Hop Awards, a MTV Video Music Award, and a Billboard Women in Music Award.
Megan Jovon Ruth Pete was born on February 15, 1995 in Bexar County, Texas, and raised in the South Park neighborhood in Houston. Her mother, Holly Thomas, rapped under the name "Holly-Wood" and would bring her daughter with her to recording sessions instead of putting Pete in daycare. Pete and her mother moved to Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston, when she was 14 and lived there until she was 18.
Pete began writing raps at age 16. When she told to her mother that she wanted to rap, Holly required that Pete wait until she was 21 to pursue rapping as a career. Her mother commented that her lyrics were too suggestive for her young age. Pete graduated from Pearland High School in 2013.
In 2013, a clip of Pete (now "Megan Thee Stallion") went viral, where she was battling against male opponents in a "cypher" while she was a student at Prairie View A&M University. The viral video helped Pete gain a larger digital presence and following on social media. She garnered fans by posting her freestyles on her Instagram while in college. She refers to her fans as "hotties", and credits her hyperactive fan base for her early success. She adopted the stage name "Megan Thee Stallion" because she was referred to as a stallion during adolescence due to her height (5'10" ) and looks.
After taking time off school, she resumed her studies at Texas Southern University in health administration, where she is a third year student as of 2019.
In her songs "Cocky AF" and "Freak Nasty" from her EP Tina Snow, she makes mentions to being part Creole. She mentioned this again in a tweet in September 2017
