On Monday, she was revealed as the cover star for this yearโ€™s Forbes 30 Under 30 issue. Not only did she rake in $13 million this year alone, from a mix of โ€œroyalties, ticket sales, endorsements and merch,โ€ according to Forbes, but she also made history by becoming the first Black woman to grace the cover for the coveted list.

โ€œReal hot girl shit,โ€ Megan captioned in part in a post to her official Instagram. โ€œSee you soon hotties. Love yโ€™all.โ€

In her interview, she discussed her drive and ambition toward success, explaining: โ€œI canโ€™t slow down right now. Iโ€™ll take a break when Iโ€™m dead. Iโ€™m trying to really build something...When I start sitting, I feel like Iโ€™m not doing enough or Iโ€™m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.โ€

Megan arguably hasnโ€™t had the time to sit with all the tours, events, musical appearances, etc. sheโ€™s done over the last year. And just when you thought things should be winding down for the โ€œWAPโ€ rapper, it looks like the assault case between she and Canadian rapper Tory Lanez is starting to ramp up.

Per CBS News, a jury trial selection began on Monday. Up until this point, Tory has been on electronic monitoring and house arrest until his day in court comes. The case centers around whether or not Tory allegedly shot Megan in the foot back in the summer of 2020.

As previously reported by The Root, the trial is set to begin sometime between Nov. 28 and Dec. 8.
