Prior to skyrocketing to fame as one of the biggest rappers in the music industry, Megan was a full-time student at Texas Southern University where she was studying to get her Bachelor’s Degree in Health Administration. She transfered to the university from Prairie View A&M. She has talked openly about wanting to open an assisted living facility in her hometown.

This has been a passion project for Megan after losing her own mother to brain cancer in 2019. However, with the fame and the hectic schedule that came with her mega success, Megan has had to shuffle some things around. For the past couple of years, she’s taking a part-time course load, but that has not taken her off the path to getting her degree.

When her 2.7 GPA was revealed, trolls tried to disparage her, but Megan was not deterred. “I wanna be better and I wanna do better,” she explained on The Breakfast Club. “But I’m trying.” Megan explained that she wants to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA.

“I’m healthy, I can take care of myself, my friends & family love me , my boo love me (he mad at me rn but he still love me),” she tweeted. “shiddd Beyoncé love me, I’m just happy and blessed lol”
