<p>There&#8217;s a reason <strong>Megan Thee Stallion</strong> reportedly earned $13 million this past year. The Houston Hottie has <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/megan-thee-stallion-adds-to-her-acting-bag-with-recent-appearance-on-she-hulk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no time for pause</a>, she tells <em>Forbes </em>in the cover story for their<em> </em>annual <em>30 Under 30</em> list. Though this is her second time on the list, Megan is the first Black woman to grace the cover of the spread!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t slow down right now. I&#8217;ll take a break when I&#8217;m dead. I&#8217;m trying to really build something.&#8221; Megan adds, &#8220;When I start sitting, I feel like I&#8217;m not doing enough or I&#8217;m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Meg went from charging $500 for gigs in her hometown to collaborations with music royalty like Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj, awards on awards, healthy streams, and major appearances. According to <em>Forbes</em>, this past year, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jabariyoung/2022/11/28/megan-thee-millions-rapper-reaps-record-riches/?sh=71db520f7696" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan&#8217;s millions</a> came from royalties, ticket sales, endorsements, and merchandise<em>. </em></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Megan&#8217;s Money Tree Has Multiple Water Pots</strong></h3>
<p>But those aren&#8217;t the only streams feeding Meg&#8217;s bank accounts. The Houston rapper has also landed endorsement deals with Nike, Revlon, Cash App, and Popeyes.</p>
<p>Frito-Lay marketing executive Stacy Taffet revealed their estimated $2 million Super Bowl campaign featuring Megan and Charlie Puth for Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos <em>&#8220;outperformed&#8221;</em> many of their past projects&#8211;exceeding their expectations.</p>
<p>Before selling anything to her fanbase, named the Hotties, Megan is making sure she has her <em>&#8220;own space and own lane.&#8221;</em> As part of her CashApp deal, Megan filmed a series of financial literacy videos for younger audiences. Meanwhile, the nearly $1 million Popeyes deal landed her a signature &#8220;Hottie Sauce&#8221; and $250,000 to kick-start her own Popeyes restaurant.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Megan Facing Business And Personal Hurdles</h3>
<p>While Megan&#8217;s pockets scored wins this year, other areas, from business to personal, took hits. Jury selection is underway in the trial <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tory-lanez-continues-to-respond-to-viral-comments-about-his-court-case-with-megan-thee-stallion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">against Tory Lanez</a>, accused of causing Megan bodily harm by allegedly shooting at her in July 2020.</p>

<p>Additionally, in the last year, we&#8217;ve seen Megan share details online about her ongoing business tussle with her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment. She signed with the Houston-based label in 2018 for a $50,000 advance.</p>
<p>In the years since Meg has <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/megan-thee-stallion-carl-crawford-throw-shots-at-each-other-after-he-and-j-prince-respond-to-her-1-million-request-in-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sued the label for $1 million</a> in royalties and exchanged online insults with <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/megan-thee-stallion-claps-back-at-carl-crawford-after-he-comments-about-their-ongoing-battle-in-court-this-dude-never-know-wtf-is-going-on-with-his-business/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO Carl Crawford</a>. According to leaked information obtained by <em>Forbes</em>,1501 retains 60% of Meg&#8217;s royalties, along with 50% of publishing revenue and 30% of touring and sponsorships. Still, the label insists Megan is the person who owes them about $10 million in profit shares.</p>
<p>Most recently, the rapper was trending on social media following the release of Drake and 21 Savage&#8217;s album <em>Her Loss. </em>Megan <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/megan-thee-stallion-seemingly-blasts-drake-for-circo-loco-lyrics-stop-using-my-shooting-for-clout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called out Drake</a> for allegedly mentioning her shooting incident with Tory in the Circo Loco track<em>. </em>Drake has <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/lawyer-says-drake-should-explain-doubting-megan-thee-stallion-given-irrefutable-evidence-against-tory-lanez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not publicly responded</a> to Megan or clarified the meaning of the line, <strong><em>&#8220;this bitch lie &#8217;bout getting shots, but she still a stallion.&#8221; </em></strong></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Meg&#8217;s Album, Tour &; Documentary In The Works</strong></h3>
<p>Despite label drama and the looming criminal trial, Megan Thee Stallion is already loading up her 2023 schedule. According to Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, the Houston star has a studio album coming in 2023, along with a world tour&#8211;though no dates were announced.</p>
<p>She also signed a deal with Netflix to create and produce multiple shows, including a comedy about her childhood. Additionally, Time Inc. has cut a $3 million check to produce a documentary about Megan&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>More money Megan all 2023? Looks like a yes!</p>
