Prior to becoming American rapper talent, Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Pete from Houston, Texas, spent her earliest childhood days in a recording studio as opposed to daycare when her mother, Holly Thomas, rapped under the alias of Holly-Wood. This resulted in Megan Pete embarking on a rapping career on her own. Starting in 2013, while attending Prairie View A&M University, Megan Pete used social media to promote uploaded videos of herself s a freestyle rap artist, going with the persona of Megan Thee (pronounced “the”) Stallion. This exposure earned her a solid fan following, whom she credits for her early success. Despite taking some time off college, she returned to her studies, this time at Texas Southern University, until she graduated in December 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in health administration degree.

Starting in 2017, Megan’s prowess as a freestyle rapping artist on the internet soon led to a 2018 contract with 300 Entertainment where she has so far released a studio album, a compilation album, three extended plays (EPs), and three mixtapes. So far, she has thirty-seven singles to her credit as a solo artist and has performed fifteen singles as a featured artist.
