“Stop using my shooting for clout”; Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion vented, as she appeared to react to a recently released track by Drake on Friday
In a series of scathing tweets shared early in hours of the morning, Meg was clearly unimpressed by lines of a particular song that made reference to her being shot following her altercation with rapper Tory Lanez.
While not directly name-dropping Drake as the subject of her ire, an increasing number of fans quickly referenced the recently released “Circo Loco track” by the 6 God of his joint project with 21 Savage.
At first, Megan seemed to brush the lines aside, writing, “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol.”
A fan later tweeted that Drake “technically” did say her name in his lyrics, to which the Savage rapper again responded, that the line was not necessarily about her, as “stallion” is slang for a “tall thick woman.”
Shortly after however, Megan changed her tune, as posted to stop “using my shooting for clout.”
She also seemed to condemn the rappers who showed eagerness to boycott Adidas for not severing ties with YE amidst his anti-semitic rants, yet continued to chastise her after her Tory Lanez episode.
“Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass N—s! Since when tf is it cool to joke [about] women getting shot !” she wrote. “You n—s especially RAP N—S ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.”
“And when the mf facts come out remember y’all hoe ass favorite rappers that stood behind a N— that SHOT A FEMALE,” she continued. “People attack me y’all go up for it , i defend myself now I’m doing too much … every time it never ends and this did NOT happen until I came out and said I got shot … y’all don’t [f— with me] okay cool f— it bye.”
The controversial bars in question :
“This b*tch lie ’bout getting shots / But she still a stallion,” Drake raps on the track. “She don’t even get the joke / But she still smiling”-Circo Loco
The Her Hitmaker was allegedly shot in the foot by Lanez in July 2020, and he was charged that October with two felony counts. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
That trial is set for a November 28 start date where is set to answer charges to in connection with the shooting.
Lanez was ordered to house arrest and electronic monitoring in October, following a separate altercation with singer August Alsina. He will reportedly stay monitored through the scheduled start of his trial.
