Megan Thee Stallion has added another honor to her name.

For, the Houston native was honored by Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee with the 18th congressional district of Texas hero award.

During the ceremony on December 12, Lee revealed that the award is not presented often and that it only goes to those who “exhibit humanity” and have “helped without asking.”

In her acceptance speech, the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ rapper shared that she feels a responsibility to “take care of the city that took care of me” and honored her grandmother who passed.

The award comes mere days after she graduated college (as we reported here).

Once she clapped back to his commentary, he quickly took to Twitter to lend an apology many – including the Material Girl herself – felt was insincere.

In response, the ‘Papa Don’t Preach’ performer went to Facebook to address his sarcasm via a sermon on the etiquette of apologizing.
