Texas Southern University
Megan Thee Stallion is now Megan Thee Graduate — ’cause she just got her diploma … and the video is something to behold.
The rapper received her Bachelor’s Degree Saturday during a graduation ceremony at Texas Southern University — where she’s been studying health administration for a while now … which all paid off in a climactic walk across the stage, in a traditional cap and gown.
Check out the clip … MTS definitely made it a moment to remember, posing for selfies and waving at the crowd as her name was read (Megan Pete for official purposes). It was quite surreal, in a good way.
My college experience has been a roller coaster! I started at PV went to some community colleges in between and I’m ending at TSU. Don’t get discouraged! You can chase your dreams and your education at the same time 👏🏽

Gotta say, we’re impressed. This ain’t an honorary degree or anything (something celebs are adorned with all the time). Meg actually buckled down and hit the books — and has been for years now — enrolling in the HBCU and working her butt off to achieve undergraduate status.
Word is … Megan was studying at Prairie View A&M way back in 2013, and transferred to TSU shortly thereafter — but as her rap career has taken off, she’s had to do online classes on and off while navigating her professional life.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It’s a lesson for the kids out there — even as an incredibly famous star, you can still achieve your dreams, especially if it’s in higher education — something Meg has said she’s wanted under her belt, with her late mother in mind. Her mom passed a couple years back.
She wrote, “I want y’all to remember that you can do whatever you wanna do and be whoever you wanna be, cause look at me!”
Congrats!!!
