Megan Thee Stallion Becomes First Black Woman To Cover Forbes ‘30Under30’
Popular American Rapper, Megan Thee Stallion was announced as the first black woman to cover Forbes “30 Under 30”.
Announcing on their official Instagram page, Forbes wrote, “Since 2019, Megan has surged ahead on hip-hop’s inside rail, leaping from $500 gigs in her hometown of Houston to partnering with music’s biggest stars—Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, BTS and Dua Lipa.
While speaking on her latest accomplishment, Megan said, “It’s really hard to be the first something in 2022!” “I want to be bigger than just my music.”
Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion is currently gearing up for the unveiling of her third studio album and a trip around the globe to perform for the Hotties.
Although there is no official name for the full-length project or dates for the tour just yet. The forthcoming project has a lot to live up to, considering her second album, Traumazine, which hit the shelves this past August, is often noted as the 27-year-old’s best work yet.
Megan The Stallion first landed on Forbes’ annual 30 Under 30 list in 2019, but now the Houston native sat down with Forbes senior writer Jabari Young to discuss her rising empire for her cover story. It has been reported that she has made about $13 million this year from her music, ticket sales, and endorsements. “I can’t slow down right now,” she told the publication. “I’ll take a break when I’m dead. I’m trying to really build something. When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.”
The “WAP” hitmaker also said that one of the biggest lessons she’s learned about the business side of music is to “save your money.” “I still haven’t made a stupid, crazy purchase. My jewelry is expensive, and my house was expensive, outside of that, I’m not buying 100 cars. Learn how to make your money work for you,” she added.
