Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Jovan Ruth Pete, professionally known as Megan Thee Stallion, is a Grammy-winning rapper. Born in Houston, Texas, to mother, Holly Thomas — known as rapper Holly-Wood — she began writing raps at age 14, but Thomas required that her daughter wait until she was 21 to pursue a rapping career. Megan went viral after making an appearance in a freestyle rap battle while a college student at Prairie View A&M University. Later that year, she released her first single, “Like a Stallion.” In 2017, she debuted her first mixtape, Make It Hot. She followed up that release with her 2018 EP, Tina Snow, which featured her first Billboard Hot 100 charting single, “Big Ole Freak.”
Megan released her second mixtape, Fever, in 2019. The project featured the hit tracks “Simon Says” featuring Juicy J and “Cash S–t” featuring DaBaby. She went on to release multiple hit singles, including “Hot Girl Summer,” “Savage” and “WAP.” Throughout her career, she has collaborated with artists such as Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla Sign and Beyoncé. She has been awarded three Grammy awards, including for Best Rap Performance.
Megan’s mother, Thomas, died in 2019 from a cancerous brain tumor. In 2020, Megan was shot in the foot while riding in an SUV after attending a party with Tory Lanez and some friends in Los Angeles. She later alleged that Lanez — who was arrested at the time on suspicion of possession of a concealed weapon — was responsible for the shooting. Lanez was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to 10 years in prison for the incident.
Megan graduated from Texas Southern University in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in health administration.
The Grammy winner was previously romantically involved with Pardison Fontaine and Torrey Craig. She began dating Dallas Mavericks player Klay Thompson in 2025.
