Megan Thee Stallion Biography

Megan Jovon Ruth Pete was born on February 15, 1995, in San Antonio, Texas, and her mother, Holly Thomas, immediately moved to Houston after her birth. Thomas rapped under the name “Holly-Wood” and would bring her daughter with her to recording sessions instead of putting her in daycare. Pete was raised in the South Park neighborhood of Houston, before moving with her mother to Pearland, Texas at age 14, where she lived until she turned 18. Pete began writing raps at age 14.

She first garnered attention when videos of her freestyling became popular on social media platforms such as Instagram. Megan Thee Stallion signed to 300 Entertainment in 2018 where she released the mixtape Fever (2019) and the extended play Suga (2020) both of which reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. She released her debut studio album Good News (2020) to critical acclaim, appearing on several year-end best album lists.

She earned her first and second number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 with the remix of her song “Savage” (featuring Beyoncé), and her feature on Cardi B’s single “WAP”; the latter of which was her first number one in several other countries, as well as the Billboard Global 200 chart. In 2021, she was featured alongside Doja Cat on the remix of Ariana Grande’s 2020 single “34+35”, which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
