Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion, was born on February 15, 1995. She is an American rapper, songwriter, and actress who first gained widespread recognition through viral videos showcasing her freestyling skills. In 2018, she signed with 1501 Certified Entertainment, marking the beginning of her ascent in the music industry.

Her breakthrough came in 2019 with the release of hit singles such as 'Hot Girl Summer,' featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign, and 'Cash Shit,' featuring DaBaby. The following year, her single 'Savage' not only topped the US Billboard Hot 100 but also earned her two Grammy Awards, thanks to a remix featuring Beyoncé. This success was complemented by her debut studio album, 'Good News,' which included the chart-topping single 'Body.'

In 2021, Megan released her compilation album 'Something for Thee Hotties,' which peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and featured the Grammy-nominated single 'Thot Shit.' However, her journey was not without challenges, as she faced a shooting incident involving Tory Lanez and contractual disputes with her record labels, leading her to part ways with both 1501 and 300 Entertainment.

In 2022, she released her second studio album, 'Traumazine,' which included the single 'Sweetest Pie' featuring Dua Lipa. The following year, she founded her own record label, Hot Girl Productions, and released her third studio album, 'Megan,' which featured the hit single 'Hiss,' making her the first solo female rapper to debut atop the Billboard Global 200.

Megan Thee Stallion has received numerous accolades, including six BET Awards and three Grammy Awards. She made history as the second female rapper to win Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards and was named one of Time's 100 most influential people in the world in 2020.
