26-year-old rapper Megan Thee Stallion announced on Instagram that 2021 will be the year she graduates college, posting photos and teasing more “graduation pics” to come.  Megan wrote: “2021 finna graduate collegeeee taking my graduation pics today I can’t wait for y’all to see.”  Megan decorated her cap with the phrase “Real hot girl s—” in celebration of her upcoming matriculation from Texas Southern University. In the pictures, you can see Megan matched her manicure to the school’s colors, one hand reading “TSU” and the other “2021.” In the two more images, Megan posed in black and proudly held her hat.

Megan previously shared that she was taking online courses part-time to complete her bachelor’s degree in health administration, revealing she hoped to complete her coursework in 2021 and make her late mom, Holly Thomas, proud. Megan’s mom Holly died in March 2019 after a battle with brain cancer.  Said Megan: “I want to get my degree because I really want my mom to be proud. She saw me going to school before she passed.” Megan’s father died when she was a teenager, and she also lost her grandmother shortly after her mother passed away.
