Megan Thee Stallion is getting candid about the painful road that led her to where she is today. Behind the platinum records and sold-out shows is a woman who had to grow up fast after losing both parents before her 25th birthday.

In a post shared by @blackcultureamplified on Instagram, the rapper opened up about what it truly cost her to get to the top. See post:
