Early life

Megan Jovon Ruth Pete was born on February 15, 1995 in Bexar County, Texas,[1] and raised in the South Park neighborhood in Houston.[6] Her mother, Holly Thomas, rapped under the name "Holly-Wood" and would bring her daughter with her to recording sessions instead of putting Pete in daycare.[7] Pete and her mother moved to Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston, when she was 14 and lived there until she was 18.[7]

Pete began writing her own raps at age 16.[8] When she revealed to her mother that she wanted to rap, Holly required that Pete wait until she was 21 to pursue rapping as a career.[9] Her mother, although impressed by her daughter's rapping skills, commented that her lyrics were too suggestive for her young age.[10] Pete graduated from Pearland High School in 2013.[11]

In 2013, a clip of Pete (now "Megan Thee Stallion") went viral, where she was battling against male opponents in a "cypher" while she was a student at Prairie View A&M University. The viral video helped Pete gain a larger digital presence and following on social media.[6][8][9][12] She garnered fans by posting her freestyles on her Instagram while in 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 (5'10"[9]) and looks.[12]

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.[9][13][14][10][15]

In her songs "Cocky AF" and "Freak Nasty" from her EP Tina Snow, she makes mentions to being part Creole. She mentioned this again on her Twitter September 9, 2017.[16]

Career

2016–2018: Early beginnings and Tina Snow

In 2016, Megan Thee Stallion released her first mixtape, Rich Ratchet. 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 song, "Stalli (Freestyle)", that is a rework of XXXTentacion's "Look At Me!"[8][18][19][20] In early 2018, Megan Thee Stallion signed with 1501 Certified Certified Entertainment, an indie label in Houston owned by former baseball player Carl Crawford.[6] She was the first female rapper signed to the label. She then performed at SXSW in March 2018.[21]

In June, she released a 10-song EP under the label titled Tina Snow. The EP was named after her alter ego, "Tina Snow," who she describes as "a more raw version" of herself.[9] 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] and Revolt referred to her flow as "effortless".[24] Nandi Howard of The Fader referred to her ability to rap with "electrifying pace and precision".[6] In November 2018, Megan Thee Stallion announced that she had signed with 300 Entertainment; making her the first female rapper to be signed by the label.[25]

2019–present: Fever and Suga

On January 22, 2019, Megan released "Big Ole Freak" as a single from her EP, Tina Snow, and also filmed a music video for the track.[26] The single, "Is It Love This Time", is sampled throughout the single.[27] On April 15, "Big Ole Freak" charted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 giving Megan her first chart entry,[28] with it later peaking at number 65 on the Hot 100.[29]

Megan Thee Stallion released her second mixtape, Fever, on May 17, 2019.[30] 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."[31] 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."[32] 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."[33]

On May 21, 2019, she released the music video for the opening album track, "Realer", which is inspired by the blaxploitation film style.[34] On June 20, 2019, she was announced to be one of eleven artists included in the 12th edition of XXL's "Freshman Class".[35] Her freestyle in the cypher was praised.[36] In July 2019, Chance The Rapper released his debut studio album, The Big Day, and 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.[37][38] On August 9, 2019, Thee Stallion released the single "Hot Girl Summer", featuring fellow American rapper Nicki Minaj and singer Ty Dolla Sign.[39] The song, an ode to her viral "hot girl summer" meme, came about after an Instagram Live session between the two rappers.[39] It peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Thee Stallion's first top 20 hit, and topped the Rolling Stone 100.[40][41] 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.

She started the hashtag "#FreeTheeStallion" to raise awareness of the issue, noting that "[she did not] understand some of the verbiage" when she signed the initial contract with 1501.[50]

On March 6, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion released the EP, Suga, against the wishes of 1501, after a judge granted a temporary restraining order against the label.[51][52] The EP received mainly positive critical reception and has a 80/100 score on review aggregator Metacritic.[53] That same month, the song "Savage" from the EP went viral on TikTok, when popular user Keara Wilson used it for a dance challenge video, which racked up 15.7 million views and 2.4 million likes as of March 20, 2020.[54] A remix featuring Beyoncé was released on April 29, 2020.[55] The song became Thee Stallion's first top 10 hit in the United States shortly after the remix's release,[56] eventually becoming Thee Stallion's first chart topper in the United States.[57] "Savage" also helped boost Suga's sales, propelling it up to number 7 on the Billboard 200.[58] Proceeds from the song went to a Houston nonprofit, Bread of Life, which provides disaster relief for residents affected by COVID-19.[55] She released the song "Girls in the Hood" on June 26.[59]
