Megan Thee Stallion Megan Thee Stallion has never been one to take her foot off the gas. The Grammy-winning rapper earned her first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 last year with the single 'Hiss' from her third studio album Megan; the deluxe reissue Megan: Act II arrived last fall alongside her vulnerable documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words. In recent months, the rapper-turned-business mogul has been busy taking her talents beyond the studio by building up her new Chicas Divertidas tequila brand now available for purchase across the country.

'That's why I was able to even put out two projects in one year… I literally can just wake up and decide to do it again tomorrow.' But being in charge of your whole career doesn't come easy. 'The other side is that I really am now my own boss, so I have to worry about the business side and the artist side,' she admitted. 'I'm still kind of navigating my way through [that]
