It's only Monday, and it is already a heavy week for Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston hitmaker is kicking off the week with both success and controversy. On the one hand, the trial that Hip Hop has been waiting for is edging closer, and on the other, Megan celebrates covering Forbes' North American 30 Under 30 issue.
The magazine estimated that Megan earned $13 million this year alone. “I can’t slow down right now,” she says. “I’ll take a break when I’m dead. I’m trying to really build something.” She adds, “When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.”
