mixtapes on SoundCloud and generated quite a bit of buzz. At the urging of a friend, Megan went to a local cypher , where, as the only female participant, she out-performed more than 20 local male artists and turned the gathering into a viral sensation. As her career gathered steam, she wanted a bold stage name, which she eventually chose to match her tall (she stands five feet ten inches) and imposing figure. During her teen years, she was often called a stallion, a slang term sometimes used in the south in reference to voluptuous women. In summer 2016, Megan released an eight-song mixtape to SoundCloud called Rich Ratchet and later produced a freestyle video, “Stalli,” which showcased her bubbling talents and now has more than 12 million views on YouTube. She inked a deal with 1501 Certified Entertainment in 2018 and released the 10-song Tina Snow EP. Tina Snow is one of the alter egos she uses, along with Suga and Hot Girl Meg. Soon after, her hard-hitting “Freak Nasty” video landed and continued her momentum. Her 2019 song “Big Ole Freak” generated even more fanfare as her first big hit, reaching No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100. This success was driven by the twerking challenge Megan issued on her social media accounts after twerking at a local Houston gas station. Called the #BigOleFreakChallenge, fans twerked at gas stations and shared their exploits on social media.

Megan is notorious for twerking in her videos and live shows.
