Megan Thee Stallion, while on her Hot Girl Summer Tour in the U.K., faced heckles from Tory Lanez fans.
- A video posted online showed several people shouting ‘Free Tory Lanez’ as she walked by.
- Megan visibly responded by putting her hand to her nose and making a face of disgust.
- She has previously called out peers for their lack of support after Tory was found guilty of shooting her.
- In a heartfelt op-ed, Megan shared how she has been dealing with online false narratives and lack of support from fellow musicians.
While touring the U.K. for her Hot Girl Summer Tour, Megan Thee Stallion encountered a group of Tory Lanez supporters. Passing by them, she heard shouts of ‘Free Tory Lanez!’ and could not hide her emotions. Her reaction? A not-so-subtle hand to her nose, making a face that said it all.
This isn’t the first time Megan has addressed the situation surrounding Tory Lanez. After he was found guilty of shooting her, she voiced her disappointment in her music peers. Many of them, she felt, turned a blind eye to her trauma and even made light of it.
In a powerful piece for ELLE, Megan wrote about the years of mockery and misinformation she faced. ‘For years, my attacker laughed and joked about my trauma,’ she penned. Imagine dealing with false narratives and being called a liar daily, especially by someone who was once close.
She also recounted how conspiracy theories and false stories about the shooting added to her distress. Some even suggested her former best friend was involved. To make matters worse, fellow artists spread memes, jokes, and sneak disses, ignoring the grave nature of the violence she endured.
Before Lanez received his decade-long sentence, Megan accused him of a character assassination campaign. She claimed he leveraged social media to twist the narrative and tarnish her reputation. Megan didn’t attend the sentencing, choosing to protect her mental wellbeing. However, she submitted a written statement that DA Kathy Ta read aloud in court, condemning Lanez’s actions and the ongoing mockery of her trauma.
Megan Thee Stallion continues to stand strong against both the trauma she faced and the false narratives spread against her.
