Joshua Pete was the birthname of Megan and not Megan Pete. On many platforms, it was written that Megan’s birth name is Meagan Pete.
Meagan was born a boy, but she didn’t have male sexuality, so she transitioned herself into a woman. Although she didn’t completely become a woman from the bottom, she still has the lower area of a man than a woman.
Meagan is a renowned rapper famous for her hilarious hip-hop songs and freestyling videos that initially gave her popularity.
She is a very talented woman and is often seen to put herself in front of women empowerment campaigns. She supports the black women community, who often have to face trans rumors against the world.
She also stood for the transgender people having issues in their daily lives due to the people who are unwilling to accept them in society. For this reason, many people claimed her to be transgender.
Her hyperactive fans were starting to believe the rumors about her. There was also a rumor spread that her real name was Joshua Pete, and she was initially a boy until she transitioned into a woman during her high school years.
The reality came in front of fans when she was dating her boyfriend, Demario DeWayne White. He took pictures of her when performing her hormone replacement therapy(HRT) medications and her male to female(MTF) pills.
This led to further speculations for the fans to believe that she was transgender. But the fact remains the same that her birth name is Megan Pete and not Joshua Pete.
She is a woman and not a man who transitioned from a male gender to female gender. The speculations will keep spreading, but she remains steadfast with what she is currently doing.
