Megan Thee Stallion is now Megan Thee Graduate, the rapper having graduated from her degree in Health Administration at Texas Southern University. She will now be quitting the music industry to enter a junior management role in the US healthcare system. No, I don't think that's the plan actually, but it's always good to have a back up.
Real name Megan Pete, the rapper was one of 843 students to receive their degrees at the university's Winter Commencement ceremony on Saturday. She is now officially a Bachelor Of Science, having completed her studies after being one of the first students to return to in-person classes following the lifting of pandemic restrictions.
"This will be a ceremony that I will cherish forever", said TSU President Dr Lesia Crumpton-Young. "As we celebrate their achievement, we also welcome them into Tiger Nation as alumni across the globe. I am confident that our graduates are prepared to transform the world through knowledge and experiences gained at TSU".
Beyond gaining her degree, Megan Thee Stallion's name will continue on at the university thanks to a scholarship scheme- called Thee Megan Fund - to help other students to complete their studies at the institution.
Megan Thee Stallion received her certificate decked out in a bejewelled mortar board bearing the slogan "Real hot girl shit". See her at the ceremony here:
