It's happened again! A celebrated pop-culture figure from Houston has landed on the cover of a national magazine. Megan Thee Stallion, the “Hot Girl Summer" musician who partnered with Cardi B on the risqué hit song “WAP," is the covergirl for Time's “100 Most Influential People of 2020" issue this week.

Megan joins Olympian Simon Biles and fellow music star Travis Scott as cover celebs. Biles appeared on the cover of Vogue in August, the image having been shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz in the Houston suburb of Spring. Scott fronted the September issue of GQ.
