Megan Thee Stallion has big plans for the new year. The three-time Grammy winner has revealed in her cover story for Forbes that she will be releasing a new album that will be complemented by a tour in 2023.

Megan’s 2020’s Good News and this summer’s Traumazine charted at Nos. 2 and 4, respectively on Billboard 200.

Forbes estimates that the emcee about earned $13 million “from a combination of royalties, ticket sales, endorsements, and merch.” Besides the upcoming tour and new album the publication reports that Megan’s 2011 first-look Netflix deal will be coming to fruition with a “comedy based on her childhood.” Times Studios is also paying the rapper $3 million to produce a film on her life.

This year, besides dropping her sophomore album Traumazine, the rapper has continued to hussle by performing double duty on Saturday Night Live, having a Super Bowl spot with Cheetos, and giving back to others with her mental health resource site “Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too.”

The rapper has also dabbled into acting with her breakout role in STARZ’s P-Valley season two where she appeared as her alter ego, Tina Snow. She also appeared in Marvel's She-Hulk and will make her film debut for A24’s F—— Identical Twins.

“I can’t slow down right now,” the rapper said. “I’ll take a break when I’m dead. I’m trying to really build something. When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.”

  Share

  Megan released "Thot S---" in June of 2021 and in the music video she portrays herself as her alter ego "Tina Snow."
