About Megan Thee Stallion
The single “Big Ole Freak” (from Tina Snow) gave Megan Thee Stallion her first-ever entry on the Billboard Hot 100, and it was also her first single to be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Both of these accomplishments occurred in 2019, as Megan Thee Stallion gained national mainstream popularity.
Megan Jovon Ruth Pete was born in San Antonio, Texas, on February 15, 1995. Immediately after Ruth’s birth, her mother, Holly Thomas, relocated to Houston. Ruth was born in Texas. Instead of putting her daughter in daycare, Thomas, who rapped under the name “Holly-Wood” would bring her daughter with her to recording sessions. She did this to save money.
The song “Hot Girl Summer” which featured Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign and was released by Stallion in August 2019, reached number 11 on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
She has released two albums recorded in a studio, one album that is a compilation of other artists’ work, three mixtapes, three extended plays, thirty-eight singles (including twelve as a featured artist), and two singles that are distributed for promotional purposes.
The song “Like a Stallion” was Megan Thee Stallion’s debut single, and it was released in April of 2016. After this, the mini mixtapes Rich Ratchet (2016) and Megan Mix were released, both of which were exclusive on SoundCloud. Megan Thee Stallion made her debut as a professional solo artist with the release of the commercially available EP Make It Hot in September of 2017.
At the beginning of 2018, Megan Thee Stallion inked a record deal with the Houston-based independent label 1501 Certified Entertainment, which is handled by T. Farris and is owned by the retired baseball player Carl Crawford. She went on to do a performance at SXSW in March 2018 after being the first female rapper to be signed to the label.
Tina Snow was her debut extended play, and “Big Ole Freak” was the name of the single that was released from it. She also shot a music video for the song. Samples from the single “Is It Love This Time” are used in various parts of the single. The song “Big Ole Freak” became Megan Thee Stallion’s first song to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 list when it was released on April 15 and debuted at number 99.

A judge issued a temporary restraining order against the label 1501, which resulted in the artist going against the desires of the record company and releasing the EP Suga on March 6, 2020.

As of March 20, 2020, the video had amassed 15.7 million views, and 2.4 million people liked it.

The song was responsible for raising more than $2.5 million.
