MEGAN Thee Stallion remembered her parents when she graduated from Southern Texas University this weekend.
The rapper was raised by her mom until she was eight when her dad returned from prison.
How did Megan Thee Stallion’s mom die?
Megan Thee Stallion's mom Holly Thomas was diagnosed with a brain tumor and passed away in March 2019.
She shared the news on Instagram and said, “The best mom in the whole world. The strongest woman on the planet. I can’t even put complete sentences together rn RIP mama.”
Skeptics on social media believed the news was a conspiracy because it aligned with Megan's entrance as an up-and-comer in the industry.
NFL player Larry Johnson tweeted it was a “coincidence” that Megan’s mom had passed away.

Megan responded to Larry on Twitter and said, “Just because YOU found out about me around the time my mother passed does not make what you are saying accurate.
“I’ve been grinding for so long and would appreciate if you weirdos on the internet would stop trying to associate my mother having A BRAIN TUMOR with the f***ing devil."
Megan says her mom was involved in the rap scene in their hometown Houston, Texas and she was inspired by her mom to pursue music.
Megan’s mom went by the stage name Holly-Wood and would frequently take her daughter to the studio as a child.
In 2019, Megan told Vulture, “So when she would take me to the studio with her, she would think I’m in the next room doing little kid stuff, coloring, watching TV, and I’m really like ear to the door, thinking, ‘Yeah, uh-huh I’ma do that, too.’"
What happened to Megan's father?
Megan's father was in prison for the first eight years of her life but then passed away when she was only 15 years old.
One of the primary things she said she learned from her dad was not to settle for less in a relationship, she told Marie Claire in 2020.
“I saw how he treated my mom, and I saw how my dad treated me,” she explained.
“I have so many strong positive influences. I’m not going to lower my standards.”
Did Megan Thee Stallion graduate from college?
Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, graduated from Southern Texas University on Saturday, December 11, in honor of her late mom and grandmother.
She made the decision to get her degree in 2020 after her mom, Holly Thomas, passed away from brain cancer in 2019.
In an Instagram post on December 11, Megan included photos in a cap and gown and said, "Meg Thee Graduate. I know my parents are looking down on me so proud. Thank you everyone for all the love today."
She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in healthcare administration and said she plans to open an assisted living facility using the money she earns from rapping.
She added she will hire her classmates to run the clinic so she can pursue both of her passions.
"I want my big mama to be proud," Megan said of her grandmother in an interview with People.

"She saw me going to school before she passed. My grandmother that's still alive used to be a teacher, so she's on my butt about finishing school.
"I'm doing it for me, but I'm also doing it for the women in my family who made me who I am today."
