She released her debut studio album Good News in 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 fellow Houston native Beyoncé), and her feature on Cardi B's single "WAP" (both in 2020); the latter song was her first number-one in several international markets, as well as on 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. She followed this with her debut compilation album Something for Thee Hotties (2021), which reached the top ten on the Billboard 200, and spawned the single "Thot Shit", which reached the top twenty in the US, and earned a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance.

In July 2020, Megan Thee Stallion was shot in the foot by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez during an altercation in the Hollywood Hills, California. The shooting was a major thematic element of her debut album, Good News. In December 2022, Lanez was tried and convicted on all counts in relation to the attack on her.

She has received several accolades, including six BET Awards, five BET Hip Hop Awards, four American Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, a Billboard Women in Music Award, and three Grammy Awards. At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, she became the second female rapper to win Best New Artist, after Lauryn Hill in 1999. In 2020, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world on their annual list. Outside of music, she has focused on her education, graduating from Texas Southern University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration in 2021. She is also an avid follower of Anime, with some stylistic elements of the genre influencing her music videos, citing some of her favorites as Attack on Titan, Black Butler, Black Clover, Bleach, My Hero Academia, Naruto and Soul Eater.[3][4]

Early life and education

Megan Jovon Ruth Pete[5] was born on February 15, 1995,[6] in San Antonio, Texas, and her mother, Holly Thomas,[7] immediately moved to Houston after her birth.[8] Thomas rapped under the name "Holly-Wood" and would bring her daughter with her to recording sessions instead of putting her in daycare.[7] Pete was raised in the South Park neighborhood of Houston[9] before moving with her mother to Pearland at age 14, where she lived until she turned 18.[7] Pete began writing raps at age 14.[10] When she eventually showed Thomas her rapping skills at age 18, Thomas required that Pete wait until she was 21 to pursue rapping as a career.[11] Her mother commented that her lyrics were too sexually suggestive for her young age.[12] Pete attended Pearland High School[5] and graduated in 2013.[13] Her father died during her freshman year of high school.[5]

In 2013, while Pete was a student at Prairie View A&M University, she began uploading videos of herself freestyling on social media.[9] A clip of Pete battling against male opponents in a "cypher" went viral. The exposure helped Pete gain a larger digital presence and following on social media.[9][10][11][14] 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.[15] After taking time off from school, Pete resumed her studies at Texas Southern University. She graduated on December 11, 2021, with a Bachelor of Science in health administration.[11][16]

She adopted the stage name "Megan Thee Stallion" because she was called a "stallion" in adolescence due to her height (5 ft 10 in (178 cm))[11] and "thick" body frame;[14] voluptuous and statuesque women in the Southern United States are colloquially called "stallions."[5]

Tory Lanez shooting

On July 15, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion stated that she had suffered gunshot wounds, and that she had undergone surgery to remove the bullets. Her statement countered an earlier TMZ report that she had injured her foot on broken glass three days prior when she was in a car with rap and R&B musician Tory Lanez (Daystar Peterson) and an unidentified woman. The car was pulled over by police, and Lanez was arrested on gun charges following a vehicle search.[172][173][174]

On July 27, 2020, Megan revealed that she had been shot in both feet, and denounced rumors in an Instagram Live session where she recounted the shooting incident and cried.[174][175] The following month, Megan claimed that Lanez was the person who shot her, saying, "I didn't tell the police what happened immediately right there because I didn't want to die."[176][177][178]

On September 25, 2020, Lanez released his fifth album, Daystar, in which he addressed Megan's allegations in nearly every song, denying that he shot her while also claiming that she and her team were "trying to frame" him.[179]

The same day, in a statement to Variety, Megan's attorney, Alex Spiro, claimed Lanez's representatives had attempted to launch a "smear campaign," using falsified messages to "peddle a false narrative" discrediting Megan.[180] Lanez's team denied this, stating that they would investigate whoever was behind the fake emails, then would take appropriate action.[181] Megan later confirmed that she had been offered money by Lanez and his team to keep quiet on the incident, following the incident.[182]

On October 8, 2020, Lanez was charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion by L.A. County prosecutors. His arraignment was scheduled on October 13;[183][184] however, it was rescheduled for November 18 after Lanez's attorney requested a continuance. Megan was issued a protection order against Lanez, directing him to stay at least 100 yards (91 m) away from her, and to not contact her. He was also ordered to surrender any guns he owns.[185]

In an op-ed for The New York Times, published on October 13, 2020, Megan addressed the shooting allegation further, writing, "Black women are still constantly disrespected and disregarded in so many areas of life. I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place."[186][185]

Lanez pleaded not guilty to assault with a semiautomatic handgun in late November 2020.[187] In the same month, Megan Thee Stallion released her debut studio album, Good News, on which the album opener is the diss track "Shots Fired" directed towards Lanez. The song gained acclaim, with critics praising its use of sampling and interpolation of the 1995 song "Who Shot Ya?" by The Notorious B.I.G.[188][189][190]

In April 2022, Lanez was arrested for violating the protection order relating to the case; and he was released shortly after on an increased bond of $350,000.[191][192] On December 13, 2022, Megan Thee Stallion testified in Lanez's assault trial and stated that she "wish[ed Tory] would have just shot and killed me."[193][194] On December 23, 2022, a jury convicted Lanez on three felony charges stemming from the shooting: assault with a semiautomatic handgun, having a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and gross negligence in discharging his firearm.[195] On August 8, 2023, Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting.[196]
