Megan Thee Stallion tweeted on Friday that people need to stop using her allegedly being shot by Tory Lanez for clout.
This is coming in a series of tweets where Drake appeared to accuse her of lying about the 2020 incident in his new song.
Though she has repeatedly labelled Tory Lanez an abuser, Drake appeared to reference the situation in his new song “Circo Loco” with 21 Savage, and implied that Megan made the shooting up.
He rapped, “This *BLEEP* lie bout getting shots but she still a stallion, she don’t even get the joke but she still smiling.”
He also appeared to refer to her graduation in another part of the song rapping, “Shorty say she graduated, she ain’t learn enough/Play your album, Track 1, ‘kay I heard enough.” Just so you know, Megan Thee Stallion graduated from Texas Southern University last December.
In a series of tweets shared early Friday, Megan at first seemed to brush the lines aside, writing, “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak *BLEEP* conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol.”
Not long after though, Megan changed her tune, and asked that others stop “using her shooting for clout.” She also appeared to condemn the rappers who quickly boycotted Adidas for not severing ties with Kanye West amid his anti-semitic rants, but continued to criticize her after she accused Lanez of abuse.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Megan’s attorney Alex Spiro slammed those who continued to defend Lanez, saying, “Despite the irrefutable evidence that Megan was a victim of gun violence, the ignorant continue to support her attacker.”
Just so you know, Megan was allegedly shot in the foot by Canadian rapper, Tory Lanez in July 2020, and he was charged that October with two felony counts. He pleaded not guilty to both charges in November 2020.
The rapper was recently placed on house arrest and electronic monitoring, and will reportedly stay monitored through the scheduled start of his trial on November 28 2022.
