Why Megan Thee Stallion Hid Her Aspirations to Be a Rapper From Her Mom

Why Megan Thee Stallion Hid Her Aspirations to Be a Rapper From Her Mom

She definitely got it from her mama, Holly Thomas, who was a rapper who went by the name “Holly-Wood.” She died in March 2019 after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. But while a young Meg traded daycare sessions for her mother’s recording studio sessions, she realized exactly how she wanted to entertain others, but still didn’t want to let her mom find out until she was 18.

“I wanted to be perfect to her,” she told Banks. “I was practicing since I was, like, 7. And then when I got in high school, I was like, ‘No, I’m not gonna tell her yet.’ But she would have these CDs laying around the house — like, instrumentals — and I would take ’em in my room, and I would take the beats and write to ’em in my room. And she would say, ‘Megan, have you seen my CDs?’ And I was like, ‘No. What are you talking about?'”

When Meg finally got to college, that’s when she knew it was time to not keep her talent as a secret anymore. Solo trips to the studio at age 19 showed her determination to prove to her mother that she could rap just like her and make a career out of it.

“So I finally came to her. I might have been 20, and I was like, ‘I can rap.’ And she was like, ‘No, you can’t.’ And I was like, ‘Yes, I can.’ And she was like, ‘Let me hear it,'” the now three-time Grammy winner recalled. “And I was like, ‘OK Mama, don’t whoop me, but I’m ’bout to curse, OK?’ So I started going off and I’m cursing and she’s like [gasps], ‘Where did you learn all those words?!’ …. And she said, ‘You’re not coming out until you’re 21.'”

By the time she was 21, she released her debut single “Like a Stallion” and went on to release a slew of SoundCloud mixtapes. It wasn’t until 2018 that Meg signed to the Houston-based label 1501 Entertainment, released her Tina Snow EP, and broke out as a true powerhouse.
