Megan Thee Stallion has joined forces with Frito-Lay's Flamin' Hot to launch a unique initiative. Introducing Flamin' Hot University - a fake university with a very real mission.
Flamin' Hot University has been designed to raise money for Texas Southern University, Megan's alma mater and a historically Black university in her hometown of Houston. To raise funds, fans will be able to buy apparel from streetwear designer Melody Ehsani, who has created six pieces for Flamin' Hot University, including a varsity jacket, sweater, and shorts.
The fake university website also includes video courses from the Grammy-winning rapper which teach students how to pose for photos or be a content creator, as well as snack and food ideas and the opportunity to purchase Flamin' Hot snacks.
The scholarship provided by Flamin' Hot University comes at a crucial time, as borrowers prepare to continue paying off their student loans beginning October 1, following a three-year hiatus due to the global pandemic. The estimated cost of tuition at TSU for the 2023-2024 academic year ranges from $28,870 to $42,580 - a figure that can create a significant burden on college graduates, especially those at HBCUs.
Tina Mahal, Senior VP of Marketing at Frito-Lay, said in a statement: “The Flamin’ Hot University scholarship fund at TSU was designed to ease some of the financial pressures student loans bring so graduates can focus on unleashing their hottest potential.”
In addition to the scholarship and Melody Ehsani merch, Flamin' Hot will also donate $100,000 to Megan's Pete and Thomas Foundation, her non-profit which assists women, children, senior citizens, and underserved communities throughout Houston and the world.
This powerful initiative is a great example of how Megan Thee Stallion is using her platform to bring about positive change and to support her hometown. We can't wait to see what else she has in store!
