Today marks Megan Thee Stallion’s birthday, and it’s only fitting that we honor this rap star by looking back on some noteworthy moments that are loved by her fans.
Buckle up—and maybe even get ready to drive the boat—because we’re breaking down 6 stand-out Megan Thee Stallion moments.
First up, we have to acknowledge how Megan spearheaded a whole “hot girl” movement, which built up to her proclaiming summer 2019 as Hot Girl Summer.
She eventually dropped an eponymous anthem in August 2019. However, Megan was hyping up the movement before the song was released, and she even broke it down while speaking to The Root.
“It’s just basically about women (and men) being unapologetically them, just having a good-a** time, hyping up your friends, doing you, not giving a d*mn about what nobody gotta say about it.”
Now, Hot Girl Summer has become an annual occurrence that’s all about embracing fun and positivity! After all, we’re “forever having a Hot Girl Summer.”
Years ahead of Megan’s musical success, she was already confidently proclaiming that she’d eventually make her mark on the industry.
A Twitter campaign from early 2022 highlighted a tweet that Megan penned way back in 2014, in which she wrote, “I need a team bc I promise rap gone take off for me.”
We love a queen who isn’t afraid to claim her reality and manifest her dreams!
Megan isn’t only a skilled rapper, however, which she proved while hosting Saturday Night Live back in October 2022. In addition to starring in numerous different skits, she also performed “Anxiety” off of her Traumazine album.
So, she got to put her acting and rap skills on display while starring on SNL!
Serious Megan Thee Stallion fans will know that she doesn’t play about her anime, and she’s even started a whole “thread of bad b***hes that watch anime.” Baddies, unite!
She’s specifically proven herself to be a huge fan of Shoto Todoroki, a character in My Hero Academia. In fact, she had a embraced a whole “Todoroki Tina” vibe back in 2019! Her “Hot Girl Mirko” costume from Halloween 2022 deserves a shoutout, too.
In addition to anime content, Megan has a humorous running gag of uploading Halloween pictures that involve her donning a jack-o’-lantern on her head.
The image has become a humous meme, and many fans look forward to Megan’s annual spooky season antics.
Finally, we have to pay homage to Megan earning her college degree from Texas Southern University, an HBCU in Houston.
Megan specifically earned a bachelor’s degree in health administration back in late 2021, and fans couldn’t be prouder of this superstar rapper not giving up on her educational pursuits!
Happy birthday to the iconic H-Town Hottie: Megan Thee Stallion!
