Megan Thee Stallion's the next up!

One of the most talked about rappers right now is Megan Thee Stallion. While her twerk videos have dominated the timeline, that hasn't overshadowed her skill set as an emcee. In early March, she released the video for her single, "Big Ole Freak" off of Tina Snow. The song was already getting some attention before the video but the visuals helped the track gain more attention. Over a month after the video dropped, the song's been continuing to buzz heavily and recently helped her earn her first Billboard Hot 100 entry.

Megan The Stallion has just earned her first Hot 100 entry with "Big Ole Freak." The track debuted at #99 on the chart and at this rate, it'll likely continue to climb up to the top 40. She took to Instagram to thank her fans and reiterate that she accomplished this on her own terms.

"We made it on @billboard hot 100 hotties !!! Look I don’t have an album out yet, this is my first Entry EVER on the hot 100 charts, never got any handouts, I’m working my mf ass off everyday! I just wanna tell y’all I AINT NEVER FUCKIN STOPPING," she wrote. "I love my fuckin hotties keep streaming BOF!"
