BiographyMegan Jovon Ruth Pete (born February 15, 1995), known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion (pronounced "the", not "thee"), is an American rapper and songwriter. Originally from Houston, Texas, she first garnered attention when videos of her freestyling became popular on social media platforms such as Instagram. She signed with 1501 Certified Entertainment in 2018, and saw her mainstream breakthrough the following year with the release of her singles "Hot Girl Summer" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign and Nicki Minaj) and "Cash Shit" (featuring DaBaby); the former peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the latter received quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Cash Shit" was also included on her commercial mixtape Fever (2019), which was followed by her extended play Suga (2020)—both of which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200.
Megan Thee Stallion earned two number-one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020 with her single "Savage Remix" (featuring Beyoncé) and her guest appearance on Cardi B's single "WAP". The former won two Grammy Awards—Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song—while the latter became her first number-one song in several international markets, including becoming the inaugural number-one on the Billboard Global 200. Her debut studio album, Good News (2020), was met with critical and commercial success—reaching number two on the Billboard 200. It spawned the single "Body", which made her the first female act to release three number-one songs on the Streaming Songs chart within a year. Her compilation album Something for Thee Hotties (2021) peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100-top 20 single "Thot Shit", which received a Grammy Award nomination. Her 2022 single "Sweetest Pie" (with Dua Lipa) was met with similar success and preceded the release of her second studio album Traumazine (2022), which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. In 2024, her single "Hiss" from her third studio album Megan (2024) became her first solo song to top the Billboard Hot 100 and made her the first solo female rapper to debut atop the Billboard Global 200 chart.
In July 2020, Megan Thee Stallion was shot in the foot by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting was a major thematic element of her debut album Good News. In December 2022, a jury found Lanez guilty of first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. After the shooting trial and following a prolonged legal dispute with her record label, Megan Thee Stallion parted ways with 1501 and 300 Entertainment in 2023.
Megan has received various accolades in her career, including six BET Awards, five BET Hip Hop Awards, four American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, a Billboard Women in Music Award, and three Grammy Awards. At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, she became the second female rapper to win Best New Artist (after Lauryn Hill in 1999). In 2020, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most-influential people in the world on their annual list.
