  • Megan Jovon Ruth Pete arrived in the world on the 15th of February 1995, inside a hospital in San Antonio, Texas. Her mother Holly Thomas moved the family to Houston shortly after that birth. Young Megan grew up in the South Park neighborhood of Houston while her father served time in jail for eight years. She was an only child who often observed more than she spoke during her early school years. Bullying targeted her quiet nature when she attended elementary school in those days. A specific remark made to her inspired her mother to teach her how to stand up for herself. She later defended a classmate who faced harassment for his homosexuality during middle school. Her father died during her freshman year of high school at Pearland High School. She graduated from that school in 2013 before moving into college life.

  • Videos of Megan freestyling began circulating widely across social media platforms around 2018. One notable clip showed her battling against male opponents in a cypher setting. This exposure helped her gain a following among fans she calls hotties. She signed with 1501 Certified Entertainment in early 2018 as their first female rapper. The label was run by T. Farris and owned by former baseball player Carl Crawford. Her EP Tina Snow arrived in June 2018 named after an alter ego she describes as raw. Critics praised its quotable lyrics and rapid rapping style within the project. She released Big Ole Freak on the 22nd of January 2019 which became her first Billboard Hot 100 entry. The song peaked at number 65 on that chart. Her mixtape Fever followed on the 17th of May 2019 and received critical acclaim from reviewers. That same month she appeared on the XXL Freshman Class list for the twelfth edition.

  • Megan achieved mainstream success through commercial mixtapes like Fever and Suga. Both projects peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart during their release years. Her single Savage spawned a remix featuring Beyoncé that won two Grammy Awards. The track peaked atop the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2020. Another single called Body made her the first female act to release three number-one songs on the Streaming Songs chart within a year. She guest appeared on Cardi B's WAP which became her second number one song on the Hot 100. Good News debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 with over 100,000 album-equivalent units sold. Something for Thee Hotties peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 in late 2021. Her third studio album Megan topped the Billboard Global 200 as a solo female rapper debut. The song Hiss reached number one on the Apple Music charts shortly after its the 26th of January 2024 release.

  • On the 15th of July 2020 Megan stated she had suffered gunshot wounds requiring surgery to remove bullets. Police pulled over a car containing her and rap musician Tory Lanez following an incident. Lanez was arrested on gun charges after a vehicle search turned up evidence. Megan revealed on the 27th of July 2020 that she had been shot in both feet during the event. She tearfully recounted the shooting incident in an Instagram Live session the following month. Los Angeles County prosecutors charged Lanez with shooting her on the 8th of October 2020. A jury convicted him of three felony charges including assault with a semiautomatic handgun. He received a sentence of ten years in prison on the 8th of August 2023. This trauma impacted her public life and career trajectory significantly throughout 2020 and beyond.

  • Megan filed suit against her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment in 2020 to renegotiate her contract. Her management company Roc Nation found the initial agreement terms iffy for her situation. She started the hashtag Free Thee Stallion to raise awareness about the contractual issues. A judge granted a temporary restraining order allowing her to release Suga against the label's wishes on the 6th of March 2020. The label did not recognize Something for Thee Hotties as an album due to its 29 minutes of new material. Megan filed another suit claiming the project met the definition of an album with at least 45 minutes of material. Attorneys confirmed on the 19th of October 2023 that both parties reached a confidential settlement to resolve differences. Shortly after legal proceedings ended she founded Hot Girl Productions as an independent music company. She signed a distribution deal with Warner Music Group on the 2nd of February 2024 through this new entity.

  • Megan originated the viral catchphrase hot girl summer on social media platforms in April 2018. She first used the phrase in a tweet before officially trademarking it in September 2019. The term defined women and men being unapologetically themselves while having a good time. A song of the same name appeared on the 9th of August 2019 alongside the Fever album cover. Her signature ad-lib involves sticking out her tongue to create an audible creaky sound during performances. Twitter created an official emoji for this tongue symbol in August 2019 following the hashtag MeganTheeStallion. This symbol inspired the cover art of her EP Suga which was revealed in March 2020. She contributed $15,400 worth of Thanksgiving turkeys to help 1,050 households at the Houston Food Bank portwall pantry in November 2019. The Pete and Thomas Foundation launched on the 15th of February 2022 to help underserved communities in Houston.

  • Megan appeared as a judge on the premiere season of HBO's Legendary series starting in 2020. She continued appearing as a judge for the second season in 2021 before being replaced by Keke Palmer. An exclusive first-look deal with Netflix arrived on the 16th of December 2021 to create new series and projects. She co-starred in A24's Dicks: The Musical which debuted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. The film featured Nathan Lane and Bowen Yang alongside her role as Gloria. Megan made a cameo appearance in the movie musical adaptation of Mean Girls during January 2024. She also contributed to its soundtrack by writing the original song Not My Fault with Reneé Rapp. Amazon Prime Video released the trailer for her documentary In Her Words on the 16th of October 2024. The documentary about a dark time in her life was released on the 31st of October 2024.
