Megan Thee Stallion has "never had a plan B"

The 'Hot Girl Summer' hitmaker - who was raised in Houston, Texas - said: "I never had a plan B; I always had two plan As. I knew I wanted to go to school, but I knew I wanted to pursue music."

Megan released her latest album, 'Suga', in March - but she insists her musical success won't stop her from pursuing her other long-term aspirations.

The rap star - who is currently having to do most of her studying online - told Marie Claire magazine: "When you really want to do something, you're really going to put your mind to doing it. And I really want to do both. I have to do both."

Meanwhile, Megan recently revealed she's learned she "can't care" about the public's opinion of her.

The rapper - who has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years - insisted she's become philosophical about public opinion as her career has evolved.

She said: "I'm such a raw person and I'm so real, I literally just lay everything out, I don't have any reason to hide anything.

"The only thing that I don't like is when people talk about me and it's not a fact.

"If you gon' speak on my name, you got to speak the facts, because I'm not hiding anything, so don't go make up s**t, or don't go put your own story together. Fully understand what you're talking about before you talk about it."
