Megan Thee Stallion: From Rapper to College Graduate
Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, has proven herself to be more than just a chart-topping rapper. She is a businesswoman, an advocate, and now, a college graduate. In her hit song “Thot Sh*t”, she declared, “2021 finna graduate college,” and she made good on that promise. Later this month, the Houston Hottie will graduate from Texas Southern University (TSU), a historically black college and university (HBCU) in Houston, TX.
A Balancing Act
The road to graduation hasn't been easy for Meg. Life as a full-time entertainer can make it difficult to focus on studies. Megan herself described her college experience as a "roller coaster." She started at Prairie View A&M, attended some community colleges in between, and is now ending her journey at TSU.
In a March 6 appearance on The Breakfast Club, she candidly revealed that her busy schedule, full of performances, photoshoots, interviews, and other music-related obligations, had taken a toll on her grade point average.
GPA Revealed
According to Blavity, she admitted during The Breakfast Club interview that her GPA was 2.7, equivalent to a B- on a 4.0 GPA scale. While this might not be a perfect score, it demonstrates her commitment to education despite the demands of her career. It's a testament to her hard work and determination to balance her dreams with her studies.
More Than Just a Degree: Future Plans
Megan's ambition extends beyond the music industry and her degree. She plans to open an assisted-living facility in her hometown. "I watched my grandmother take care of my great-grandmother," Megan told Angie Martinez. "I wanted other elderly people to feel like they’re taken care of while still in a home environment where they felt safe… Like, a family environment.” This heartfelt goal reveals a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to give back to her community.

You can chase your dreams and your education at the same time."
