How Did Megan Thee Stallion Begin Her Rap Career?
Born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, the San Antonio, Texas, native had exposure to the music industry since she was a toddler, when her late mother and fellow rapper, Holly “Holly-Wood” Thomas, brought her to recording sessions, according to a June 2020 interview with Vulture.
Holly didn’t want her daughter to pursue a music career right away. Therefore, Megan studied at Prairie View A&M University in her home state. While attending school, the “WAP” artist posted videos online of herself freestyling throughout 2013, which helped her eventually gain exposure.
After becoming a breakout star in the music industry, Megan was nominated for various awards, including six at the People’s Choice Awards in 2020 and eight at the BET Hip Hop Awards that year. That same year, she released her debut studio album, Good News.
Megan’s bank account should be increasing following the August 2022 release of her second studio album, Traumazine, which was widely praised by music critics.
She hit the road November 2022 to perform at a series of five summer music festivals in Australia before returning to the U.S. for December’s LAC3 Festival in Los Angeles. A full U.S. tour is expected to follow.
