Megan Thee Stallion, the renowned rapper, has faced numerous challenges on her journey to becoming a prominent figure in the music industry. In a recent cover story with ADWEEK, she emphasized the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. Megan highlighted the obstacles she encountered as a woman, particularly as a Black woman, in an industry that often fails to present all available opportunities.

After a legal battle with her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, Megan Thee Stallion made a significant career move by signing a new deal with Warner Music Group. This deal allows her to release music through her company, Hot Girl Productions, while benefiting from Warner Music Group's resources for distribution and promotion.

Expressing her empowerment and excitement about the new deal, Megan encouraged fellow artists not to give up despite facing rejection and challenges. She emphasized the importance of persistence and resilience in achieving success.

With an impressive track record that includes three Grammy awards and a diverse discography, Megan Thee Stallion remains dedicated to her craft. She aims to showcase her talent, promote her work, and connect with her fanbase, known as 'thee hotties.'

Aside from her music career, Megan has ventured into the fitness industry, taking on the role of Mother Fitness for a campaign with Planet Fitness. She also launched a collaboration with Nike for workout clothing under the brand Hot Girl Systems.

In terms of music releases, Megan collaborated with Reneé Rapp on the track 'Not My Fault' and dropped her latest single, 'HISS.' She is set to headline her Hot Girl Summer tour, featuring over 30 shows across the United States and Europe, with Glorilla as her opening act.

Announcing the tour on Instagram, Megan encouraged her fans to prepare for a fun-filled experience and to get their outfits ready for the upcoming shows. The tour is scheduled to kick off in May and run through July 2024, coinciding with appearances at major music festivals throughout the summer.
