“I can’t slow down right now. I’ll take a break when I’m dead.” Megan told Forbes. “I’m trying to really build something.” She happily continued. 

“When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.”

She also advised on how “hotties” should learn to budget. 

“Save your money!” Megan added. “I still haven’t made a stupid, crazy purchase. My jewelry is expensive, and my house was expensive, but like outside of that, I’m not buying 100 cars. As soon as I started getting money, I used it on school. Learn how to make your money work for you.”

The 27-year-old rapper has captured the hearts of the whole world with her honest lyrics and infectious smile—even fellow rappers.
