Megan Thee Stallion wins best new artist Grammy; first female rapper to take prize since 1999
Megan Thee Stallion has been named best new artist at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Megan is the first female hip-hop artist to win the category in 22 years, since Lauryn Hill received the honor in 1999. Megan beat out best new artist contenders Phoebe Bridgers, Doja Cat, Chika, Kaytranada, D Smoke, Ingrid Andress and Noah Cyrus.
The Houston rapper is nominated in four categories this year. “Savage (Remix)” featuring Beyoncé is nominated for record of the year and rap song, and won earlier today for rap performance.
“Being from Houston, Beyoncé means everything to us,” Megan told the Times in January. “I’m pretty sure Beyoncé means everything to a lot of people. But when I got to do a song with her? Oh, my God.”
