“I’m going to get you,” Megan Thee Stallion says of bloggers spreading false information about Tory Lanez’s shooting.
Megan Thee Stallion is on the cover of Rollingstone magazine’s latest issue, and she discusses the event in which Tory Lanez allegedly shot at her, how she’s dealing with it, her love life, her new album, and more in the cover story.
Megan told the publication that she wants Tory to be imprisoned after his trial in September for the July 2020 incident.
Megan claims she “never put my hands” on Lanez and is baffled as to why he allegedly shot her during an argument in a car between the two of them and a former friend of hers.
“Every day, people argue,” she continued.
Megan explained, “In some ways, I became the villain.”
“I’m wondering if it’s because of my appearance.”
Is it because I’m underweight?
Is it because I’m not a white enough person?
Isn’t it true that I’m the shape?
What is the height?
Is it because I’m not small?
Do I not appear to be deserving of being treated as a woman?”
The Houston rapper is also dissatisfied with how some bloggers and media figures have been able to publish correct information about the ongoing legal case online without repercussions.
As Rollingstone notes: That same day, Lanez bolstered false claims by media personality DJ Akademiks, who has been lambasted for sensationalizing violent conflicts in rap and for his recurring, hateful, misogynistic tirades against Megan. In February, Akademiks tweeted that court proceedings revealed that Lanez’s DNA wasn’t found on the gun recovered at the scene of the shooting (in court, Lanez’s attorney claimed that a DNA swab of the gun was “inconclusive,” and that “there were four contributors”) and that he had seen unreleased evidence that seemingly absolved Lanez of the crime (release of which, if by Lanez, would have been a violation of a court order). Lanez’s attorney argued that Lanez did not provide Akademiks with any such evidence, but because he egged on Akademiks’ claims on Twitter while addressing Megan, Lanez was briefly taken into custody for violating court orders prohibiting him from contacting or harassing Megan, or discussing any discovery in the case with outside parties.
Megan says she’ll “take it on” and isn’t impressed by how easily people can get away with disseminating incorrect information.
“I believe it’s insane that individuals can go online and publish anything that isn’t 100% accurate.
That is seriously interfering with my life.
“How can you do it and get away with it?” she wonders.
“I’ve just discovered that you can’t get away with it, and I’m going to catch you.”
I’m just gathering my belongings right now because I’m going to see it.
Yes, you continue to do so.
“I’m going to spin the block on you,” she added, implying that she intends to take action.
Perhaps Cardi B’s victory in court over YouTuber Taska K has motivated her?
Megan announced that Future will appear on a song called ‘Pressurelicious’ from her next album during the rest of the interview.
He’s one of his favorite rappers, she says.
She describes the Atlanta superstar as “just so f**king ratchet!”
“He is unapologetic in who he is.
That’s something I admire in everybody who gets up and needs to do something public.
Anyone who has to read about their life on the internet every day and cope with so many emotions and can channel them into music tastefully deserves roses.”
