Pete was born and raised in South Park Houston, Texas.[5] Her mother, Holly
Moneybagg Yo
Thomas, rapped under the name Holly-Wood and would bring her daughter with

her to recording sessions, instead of putting Pete in daycare.[8] Pete and her
.com (http://mega
mother eventually moved to Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston when she was
ntheestallion.com)
14 and lived there until she was 18.[9]

Megan Thee Stallion began writing her own raps at age 16.[10] When she revealed to her mother that she wanted to rap, Holly
required that Megan wait until she was 21 to pursue rapping as a career.[2] Her mother, although impressed by her daughter‘s
rapping skills, commented that her lyrics were too suggestive and "ratchet" for her young age. Once Pete began rapping, she
continued writing sexual and "ratchet" lyrics.[11]
In 2013, a clip of Megan Pete (now "Megan Thee Stallion") went viral, where she was battling against male opponents in a
"cypher" while a student at Prairie View A&M University. The viral video helped Pete gain a larger digital presence and
following on social media.[5][10][2][12] She has garnered fans by posting her freestyles on her Instagram since college. She refers
to her fans as "hotties", and credits her hyperactive fan base for her early success.[13] She adopted the stage name Megan Thee
Stallion because she was referred to as a stallion during adolescence due to her height and beauty.[12] She is 5'10".[2]

After taking time off school, she resumed her studies at Texas Southern University in health administration, where she is a third
year student as of 2019.[2][13][14][15][1] Megan also attended Pearland High School and graduated in 2013.[16]

Career
In 2016, she released her first mixtape, Rich Ratchet, and her first single "Like a Stallion" was produced by TA.[17] The next year,
she released her first EP, Make It Hot.[18] One song on the EP, "Last Week in H TX", has four million YouTube views. In 2017,
she released a video, "Stalli (Freestyle)" that is a rework of XXXTentacion's "Look At Me!"[10][18][19][20]

In early 2018, Megan Thee Stallion signed with 1501 Certified Ent., an indie label in Houston owned by former baseball player
Carl Crawford.[5] She then performed at SXSW in March 2018.[21] In June of that year she released a 10-song EP under the label
called Tina Snow. The EP is named after her alter ego, who she describes as "a more raw version" of herself.[2] She stated in an
interview with Mic.com, that she is not afraid to talk about sexuality, nor does she feel boxed in to either the "intelligent" or
"freak" dichotomy.[22] The EP was positively received by critics: Eric Torres of Pitchfork.com wrote "she provided plenty of
freak anthems with quotable lyrics to wield against ain’t-shit men";[23] Revolt referred to her flow as "effortless".[24] Nandi
Howard of The Fader referred to her ability to rap with "electrifying pace and precision".[5]

In November 2018, she announced that she had signed with 300 Entertainment; she is the first rapper who is a female to be
signed by the label.[6]

In 2019, she released the single "Big Ole Freak" from her EP Tina Snow, and also filmed a music video for the track.[25] The
single "Is it Love This Time" is sampled throughout the single.[26] On April 15, 2019, Megan Thee Stallion achieved her first
entry on Billboard Hot 100 at number 99 with her single "Big Ole Freak".[27]

Her first full-length mixtape, Fever, was released on May 17, 2019.[7] The album received generally positive reviews. Taylor
Crumpton of Pitchfork rated the album 8/10 and wrote in the review, "Megan's delivery of perfectly executed bars are comparable
to successions from a fully automatic machine gun; a carefully studied aim of fiery stanzas that could only be carried by a rapper
with extensive knowledge of the genre's early practices of battle rap."[28] The album was selected as a NYT Critic's Pick, and
reviewer Jon Caramanica wrote, "Before this album, Megan Thee Stallion's standout moments have come via radio-appearance
freestyles — a familiar proving ground for rappers of an earlier generation, and one where she has thrived...Fever, however, is
more cohesive, polished and forceful than her previous releases. The production — especially the songs by Lil Ju ("Ratchet",
"Cash ____", "Realer") — is ominous and spacious, a foundation that's sturdy and not distracting."[29] Writing for Fader, Amani
Bin Shikhan stated in a review, "That's the magic of her appeal, and the magic of Fever: listening to Thee Stallion feels like
listening to the advice of your most entertaining girlfriend, lovingly scolding you to both get your shit together and fuck it up for
a real one."[30]

On May 21, 2019, she released the music video for the opening album track "Realer", which is inspired by blaxploitation film
style.[31] On June 20, 2019, she was announced to be one of eleven artists included in the 12th edition of XXL's "Freshman
Class".[32] Her freestyle in the cypher was praised.[33] In July 2019, Chance The Rapper released his debut studio album The Big
Day where Thee Stallion was featured on the track "Handsome".

On August 2, 2019, A Black Lady Sketch Show premiered on HBO; the show uses Megan Thee Stallion's song "Hot Girl" in the
opening title sequence.[34][35] On August 9, 2019, Thee Stallion released the single "Hot Girl Summer", featuring fellow
American female rapper Nicki Minaj and singer Ty Dolla Sign.[36] The song, an ode to her viral "hot girl summer" meme, came
about after an Instagram Live session between the two female rappers.[36] It topped the Rolling Stone 100 and reached number 11
on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Thee Stallion's highest charting song to date.[37][38] The week thereafter, she featured on
Quality Control compilation album Quality Control: Control the Streets, Volume 2 on the track "Pastor", alongside Quavo and
City Girls.

In September 2019, Megan Thee Stallion signed a management deal with Roc Nation.[39]

Artistry
Megan Thee Stallion is known for her confidence, sensuality, and explicit lyrics.[40] She presents her sexuality throughout her
lyrics, videos, and live performances.[41] In an interview with Pitchfork she stated, "It's not just about being sexy, it's about being
confident and me being confident in my sexuality."[42]

In an interview with Rolling Stone she noted, "I don't feel like we ever really had a female rapper come from Houston or Texas
and shut shit down. So that's where I'm coming from."[43]

She cites Pimp C, Lil Kim, Biggie Smalls, and Three 6 Mafia, as her biggest influences.[12][10][44][13][45]

Public image

Alter egos
In multiple interviews, Pete has referred to herself as Tina Snow, one of her alter egos and also the name of her debut EP, Tina
Snow. Tina Snow was influenced by Pimp C's alias Tony Snow, and has similar confidence and an unapologetic sexually
dominant delivery.[46]

"Hot Girl Meg" is another alter ego who is described as embodying Megan Thee Stallion's carefree and outgoing side, which she
compares to a "college, party girl."[47] Megan Thee Stallion stated that she introduced "Hot Girl Meg" on her album, Fever.[48]

On her Instagram, Megan Thee Stallion has also referred to herself as "Thee Hood Tyra Banks" while promoting her song "Pull
up Late" from her EP Make It Hot.[49]

Hot Girl Summer

Megan originated the viral catchphrase "hot girl summer" on social media.[50][51][52][53] She first used the phrase in a tweet on
April 14, 2018.[54] It later appeared on the Fever album cover, which read "She's thee HOT GIRL and she's bringing THEE
HEAT." She defined the term as "...women and men being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up their
friends, doing you."[55] She has applied to trademark the term.[56] A song of the same name was released on August 9, 2019.[57]

Personal life
On March 22, 2019, Megan Thee Stallion announced through an Instagram Live that her mother and manager, Holly Thomas,
had died.[58] She stated in a separate post that her mother had died from a longstanding cancerous brain tumor.[59]

Her mother influenced her decision to get her degree in Health Administration and also helped foster Megan Thee Stallion's wish
to establish assisted-living facilities in her hometown of Houston, Texas.[60]

In a 2019 interview with Refinery29, Megan Thee Stallion discussed her interest in horror movies and is in the process of writing
her first film. Her desire to produce horror films comes from her belief that the current storylines from the genre are unsurprising,
disappointing, and repetitive.[61]
