Megan Jovon Ruth Pete (born February 15, 1995), known professionally as Megan Thee Stallion, is an American rapper and singer. Originally from Houston, Texas, she first garnered attention when videos of her freestyling became popular on social media platforms such as Instagram. Megan Thee Stallion signed to 300 Entertainment in 2018, where she released the mixtape Fever (2019) and the extended play Suga (2020), both of which reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. Her ‘Tina Snow’ single “Big Ole Freak” was her first to crack the Hot 100, peaking at No. 65 in May 2019, while the EP peaked at No. 166 on the Billboard 200. Standalone single “Hot Girl Summer” featuring Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign would climb the Hot 100, topping out at No. 11 in August 2019. Megan dropped her debut studio album, ‘Good News,’ in November 2020, and it reached No. 2, with single “Body” making it to No. 12. “Savage,” off EP ‘Suga,’ became her first Hot 100 No. 1, reaching the summit in March 2020. Her feature on Cardi B’s “WAP” also topped the chart in August that year. Sophomore album ‘Traumazine’ arrived in 2022 and peaked at No. 4. Megan Thee Stallion has worked with various artists during her career, including Maroon 5, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X and more. She received the Powerhouse Award at the 2019 Billboard Women in Music, and has won several Grammys, including best new artist and best rap song for “Savage” in 2021. Also in 2021, she signed an exclusive first-look deal at Netflix, to create and executive produce new series and other projects. She guest starred in the Disney+ Marvel Cinematic Universe series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as a fictionalized version of herself and went on to make her theatrical debut in the first ever A24 musical movie “Dicks The Musical” in 2023. In 2024, she made a small cameo in the broadway adaptation of Mean Girls, playing another fictional version of herself and being apart of the movie’s soundtrack.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
