Megan Thee Stallion went on Instagram Live to tell her own story about being shot two weeks ago in
Hollywood. While fighting back the tears, Megan revealed she was shot in both of her feet. She described going through surgery to remove the bullets as "super scary" and the "worst experience" of her life. As we know, Megan is still grieving the loss of her mother and granny, and now she almost lost her own life.
Megan took the time to debunked a lie started by a group of Youtubers and Instagram blogs who have launched a "Save Tory Lanez" campaign. The narrative being pushed is that Megan was beating Tory Lanez up, so he shot her in self-defense. I am not sure how you shoot someone in self-defense as they are trying to leave, but I guess certain followers don't care about the details. Megan's response to that bullsh*t was, "I did not put my hands on nobody. I did not deserve to get shot. I did not do sh*t." We as a culture should be embarrassed that a female rapper has to explain why she did not deserve to be shot.
I'm sure Megan speaking out for the 4th time will go over some bloggers' heads, and they are creating another source as I type. What I love the most about how Megan is handling this is she is not let'n her foot off the bloggers' backs. In her posts and in this video, she made it clear that SHE WAS ATTACKED, SHE IS THE VICTIM, THIS IS NOT FUNNY.
MEDIA FAILED THIS WOMAN...WHY I WRITE
This is one of the most honest tweets you will see this week, hell this year. This is not about the "messy" blog sector that is popular on social media. No one expects them to protect the culture or have any moral compass when it comes to matters that affect us as a people or culture.
This is about those writers who went to school so they can call themselves "journalists." This is about
those writers who dreamt about documenting Hip Hop culture and seeing their articles in rap magazines/platforms. This is about how those same writers consistently protecting male artists with their words; however, getting writer's block when it comes to female rappers.
I guess in some ways, I should thank these writers. It's because of their failings that I write. I could not find the stories on female rappers that I wanted to read, so I wrote them. As Jada Gomez' s tweet goes viral, I hope that Hip Hop writers feel inspired to write the stories that need to be written. To not leave the female rap stories in the hands of gossip personalities and chatty patties. I hope writers are tired fo failing Megan Thee Stallion. I hope writers are tired of failing all-female rappers.

What pisses me off the most with the media is that they are acting like Megan owes them an explanation. She doesn't owe anybody anything!
All of a sudden we have YouTube detectives with dead-end leads, and I'm sick of their asses. I wish Megan a speedy recovery, and to hell with the people who doubted her to begin with.
It’s sad that she had to come out and actually explain herself. And even then people still didn’t believe her. People still try to find fault in whatever she says or does. And what hurts me the most is people are out here calling her a man. The sad thing is that it’s mostly black men that’s doing that and a few women too. I pray for strength in this wicked industry and she doesn’t let people break her with their negative opinions.
I just want to say this young lady is so strong and Beautiful. Wishing her a speedy recovery! As for Tory he needs to be lockup somewhere.
I was literally about to tear up with her when she spoke about her people dying and how she’s alone and just trying to feel people out. Damn just want good people around her with her best interest at heart.
The media shows me time and time again how easy it is for them to remove the humanity from people to push a salacious, often false agenda/story for views. Especially when it comes to black women. Say it was a white cop who shot her..Would that still be funny to some of those people eager to crack a joke/post a meme?? Why was it ever funny?
I know people keep focusing on the answers they want but this woman is hurting. When she started talking about her mom... I'm proud of her for opening up. The business can be so heartless and sinister. The love a lot of artists receive is very conditional, even in their own circle. As her…
