True hotties knows that every day is a Megan The Stallion day but Houston made it official on Sunday with the city turning out to celebrate the rapper and Chinese censor stresser. At the May 2 event Megan was awarded the key to the city by Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner while members of Houston City Council celebrated her charity work. The May 2 date has significance for Megan, being the birthday of her late mother and grandmother.
Speaking to during her acceptance speech, a tearful Megan noted the significance of the date. “Both of these women helped me grow into the woman that I am today. I don’t know what kind of lady I would be if granny didn’t raise me to be so kind and so giving. You could walk by these ladies’ house and they givin’ out dollars, candy—whatever they’ve got, they’re givin’ it out the door. And I always wanted to be just like that. I wanted to be nice like them. They made me feel so beautiful and so loved, and they made everybody they met feel just like that. So I was like, ‘When I grow up, I wanna be just like them.’”

“Megan Thee Stallion has an extraordinary entertainment career, but we wanted to honor her for what she does offstage to lift people’s lives in underserved communities,” Turner said in a report by ABC 11. “She assisted people after the 2021 winter storm, during the pandemic, and helped those struggling with homelessness. I look forward to watching her grow as an artist and humanitarian.”
Last month Meg hit Coachella and released new song "Plan B" as well as speaking out about being shot by Tory Lanez for the first time.
