Nicki Minaj has heaped praise on Megan Thee Stallion, giving credit to her fellow rapper for perfectly blending beauty with brains after staying on top of her education studies at Texas Southern University while she also stays on top of the music charts.
In Variety’s Young Hollywood feature, Minaj gave a nod to Megan for staying on top of her studies at Texas Southern University while still blazing a trail on the charts.
“One of my favorite things about Meg is her desire to further her education,” Minaj told the magazine.
“It’s so important for women to feel inspired to achieve goals outside of social media, where the focus is usually placed on their bodies or who they’re dating at the time.
“Women are more than just baby mamas, and we can continue to prove that by being goal-oriented, bettering ourselves, and being independent. Megan is the perfect example that we can have fun and be smart at the same time.”
Megan Thee Stallion has another powerful female music influence in her life as well. Earlier this year, she shared her chart-topping “Savage” anthem with fellow Houston native Beyoncé.
The two built a friendship since meeting at Jay-Z’s New Year’s Eve party.
“In the first five minutes of the conversation, I felt like I’ve been knowing her all my life,” Megan told Variety. “She treated me like family, and now I feel like I am family. We talk all the time.”
