Megan Thee Stallion has become the first black woman to grace the cover of Forbes Magazine’s ‘30 Under 30′ issue. Megan posted on Instagram: “First BLACK WOMAN on thee cover of @forbes 30 under 30

According to Forbes, the 27-year-old Megan earned an impressive $13 million in 2022 through royalties, ticket sales, merchandise, and endorsements. The magazine noted that the rapper has deals with Nike, Popeyes, Revlon, Cash App, Netflix, and Time Inc., which is “paying her $3 million to produce a documentary on her life.” Megan said of her success: “I can’t slow down right now. I’ll take a break when I’m dead. I’m trying to really build something. When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.”
Megan also shared in her video interview with Forbes: “It’s really hard to be the first something in 2022. I want to be bigger than just my music. I want people to know Megan as everything that she ever wanted to be. Megan the artist. I feel I’ve always liked to dabble and dab in a lot of different things, and I feel like I got that from my mom and my dad. My dad was a street guy, he was an entrepreneur, he had his own clothing line. My mother, I watched her go to work nine-to-five every day, and come home and write songs. And take me to the studio, and be a mom, and be just a good woman in general.”
