Megan Thee Stallion Reflects on Graduating: ‘A HBCU College Graduate’

Turn off “WAP” and start playing “Pomp and Circumstance,” because rapper, Grammy winner, and Glamour Woman of the Year Megan Thee Stallion has graduated from college. On December 11, Megan Thee Stallion announced that she graduated from Texas Southern University with a bachelor of science degree in health administration. 

The rapper tweeted  on December 11, “Good morning hotties !!! It’s graduation dayyyy #MeganTheeGraduate.” Then on Monday morning (December 13), Megan Thee Stallion shared more details about the ceremony and celebrations with a series of photos on her Instagram account. Megan posted pics of herself in her cap and gown, and some pictures from her celebratory graduation dinner, which included cocktails named in her honor. 

“Still not over the fact that I can finally say I’m a college graduate 👏🏽 ,” she wrote in the caption. “A HBCU COLLEGE GRADUATE 🐯Thank you to my friends and family for supporting me this whole time bc without y’all I would have lost my mind 😂.”

HBCU stands for Historically Black College and Universities. In 2020, Megan Thee Stallion told People that her mom, who died in 2019, was a major inspiration for pursuing her education. “I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud,” she said. “She saw me going to school before she passed.”

A diploma is not the only honor Megan Thee Stallion received this weekend. She also accepted the  18th Congressional District’s Humanitarian Award in Houston. “My grandma always taught me to be kind and giving. I learned that from her … I’ve only been raised by very giving women,” Megan said when accepting the award. “So I definitely want to dedicate this award to her too because she taught me how to be the woman I am today.” 

Megan Thee Stallion for president!
