She wanted to celebrate her birthday by giving it meaning. Megan Thee Stallion, born in 1995, therefore celebrated her 27th birthday by creating her foundation, baptized Pete & Thomas in reference to the names of her mother and father. His goal: to financially help the most precarious in Houston, his hometown in Texas, and pell-mell finance the studies of young people who do not have a scholarship, help dependent seniors to find housing, or even support single mothers in difficulty. financial. The mission may seem broad, yet it’s what she’s been doing for years, ever since she shot to fame in 2017.

Still poorly known in France, Megan Thee Stallion is a multi-award-winning star in the United States, crowned in particular by three Grammy Awards, and regularly on the cover of people magazines for her ultra-sulphurous clips and concerts. There’s the rapper, and then there’s her other side, that of a girl born into a poor family in Texas, who, as she confided when launching her foundation, was “raised with a simple principle: to share, and to give back what life wanted to give you (…) I am extremely proud to be able today to be able to apply this principle, and I consider it to be my duty to use the weight I have to help others, to have a meaningful impact on the lives of those who have no resources.”
Megan Thee Stallion is a committed rapper. During the confinement in the United States, she organized food distributions. Last year, she paid 10,000 dollars in tuition for a whole bunch of precarious high school students. Last December, she, who had decided to return to university when she was at the peak of her career, impressed everyone by earning her degree in health management and administration, announcing in stride that she was going to open an institution for dependent elderly people.
Megan Thee Stallion, rapper, philanthropist and graduate, breaks all the codes, and her success sounds like a call to fight prejudices, received ideas, those concerning young people, women, rap, and everything else.
