More TSU Students Are Returning To Campus
Dr. Monica Rasmus, program director for Texas Southern University's Health Administration program, spoke with TMZ and revealed that students had dropped out before. These same ones are now returning to campus, to finish their degrees. These efforts are all being made, due to seeing what Megan's accomplished.
Rasmus added that students originally started to re-enroll in their studies in 2020, when Megan revealed that she is almost done with her studies at TSU. She now plans to open an assisted living facility, in Houston. More undergrad and grad school students are also starting to pursue healthcare administration.

Megan Is Grammy-Nominated Again
This past spring, Megan scored her first ever Grammy wins. She took home three categories out of the four that she was nominated in. These were for Best New Artist, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance.
For 2022, Megan also has a chance to score another Grammy. She is nominated in the category of Best Rap Performance. This is for her smash hit single, "Thot S*it," which was released this past summer.
Megan Also Addressed Tory Lanez Shooting Case
On Wednesday, Megan also took to her Twitter feed, to discuss the ongoing Tory Lanez shooting case. A preliminary hearing was held on Tuesday, as Tory will be heading to trial on January 13. This comes after Megan accused him of shooting her in her feet, back in July 2020.
On Twitter, Megan made it known that she doesn't like the information that has been spread by media outlets. She emphasizes that the focus needs to be on that she was shot, and not some kind of "catfight," before the shooting. This comes after reports that she fought her ex-best friend, Kelsey Nicole, over Tory.
Like I’ve been SHOT and the focus of some these headlines are dismissing that I was attacked with a WEPON WHILE I WAS UNARMED and trying to paint it as a cat fight between friends why do I have to relive this with everyone on the internet every day ? And watch y’all gaslight me

Don’t blogs/ journalists have to have accurate/ credible sources before going with a story ? Or is it just like a new I got paid to post this or I heard out from my home girl type policy these days.
