Megan Thee Stallion confirmed in an August 20 Instagram Live that rapper Tory Lanez had shot her.
The shooting has prompted a range of responses since July 12, including radio silence from hip-hop’s biggest players, distasteful jokes about Megan in the wake of the shooting, and support for her from others in the music industry. (Few have spoken out in support of Lanez since Megan claimed he was the one who’d shot her, but that hasn’t stopped everybody.)
“Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own,”
she tweeted nearly a week after the shooting, on July 17.
“It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized.”
