Claim 1: “Megan Thee Stallion is more than a rapper, Broadway star and multi-brand entrepreneur”
VERIFIED
Wikipedia confirms Megan Thee Stallion is a rapper and actress. Evidence also links her to a musical film adaptation of 'Mean Girls' (which is a Broadway musical) and mentions her as a professional artist. While 'Broadway star' is a specific term, her involvement in the musical film and professional success as a rapper/entrepreneur is well-supported.
