Megan gave a tearful speech and spoke about the effect her mother and grandmother, who both passed away in March 2019, had on her life and career.
“Both of these women helped me grow into the woman that I am today,” the “Last Week in HTx” rapper said, according to HipHopDX. “I don’t know what kind of lady I would be if granny didn’t raise me to be so kind and so giving. You could walk by these ladies’ house and they givin’ out dollars, candy — whatever they’ve got, they’re givin’ it out the door.”
“And I always wanted to be just like that. I wanted to be nice like them. They made me feel so beautiful and so loved, and they made everybody they met feel just like that. So I was like, ‘When I grow up, I wanna be just like them,'” she added, according to a clip posted to YouTube.
After the ceremony, Megan posted photos from the event, captioning them “continue to give back to the city that made me who I am today💙 #htown“
