In the wake of Megan Thee Stallion‘s revelation that Tory Lanez shot her following a Hollywood party on July 12, many have criticized Tory for his actions, but unsurprisingly, none of those critics were her male peers in the industry. That is, until Saturday (August 22) when Chance The Rapper took to Twitter to defend Megan.
“I hope Meg really gets justice for what Tory did to her,” Chance wrote. “And that we can all learn from this, how near and constant and serious, the threat of lethal violence and abuse is for every Black woman.”
Chance has been vocal about supporting women in Hip Hop throughout the summer. When J. Cole dropped “Snow On Tha Bluff,” Chance quickly called out Cole and his lyrics, which were pointed at Chicago poet and activist Noname.
“Yet another L for men masking patriarchy and gaslighting as contructive criticism,” he wrote.
In a follow-up tweet, he added that while Cole and Noname are both friends of his, he felt the need to address Cole’s polarizing track.
“They both my peoples but only one of them put out a whole song talking about how the other needs to reconsider their tone and attitude in order to save the world,” he said. “It’s not constructive and undermines all the work Noname has done. It’s not BWs job to spoon feed us. We grown.”
On Thursday (August 20), Megan took to Instagram to finally clear the air in regards to the shooting incident. After constant rumors and speculation as to why she was shot, the Houston rapper decided she would no longer be protective of those who have remained silent throughout her entire ordeal.
“So, since you hoes so worried ’bout it, yes this nigga Tory shot me. You shot me! And you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and shit. Stop lying.”
Following the incident, the Canadian rapper was arrested on charges of felony gun possession and later released. Megan was taken to a local hospital with injuries to her feet, the initial report claiming that she had stepped on glass. Days later, she revealed publicly that she was shot and confessed that she had undergone surgery to remove bullet fragments from both of her heels.
The Los Angeles District Attorney is probing whether or not to file felony assault charges against Tory.
Chance is sounding a little simple right now. Idk maybe is just me but I don’t like the victim card. If this was so traumatizing she really should be talking through the proper channels..you on live doing the most. Handle this shit without all this attention because these other celebs are just sounding dumber and dumber especially not knowing the whole story.
Your a little irrelevant right now. Remember that
you heard me…
Chance is the first? Joey buddens has been on Meg’s side since it was announced, and Tory’s his man. But like Joe and Mal said, unless “that bitch was beating your ass with that gun, about to shoot you, nothing justifies shooting a female.
Have y’all seen her foot? Those are not bullets. Meg hiding a huge part of this story and it probably has to do with Tory threatening to expose his label just before this. The mainstream industry is like Hollywood – fake and strange!
Chance is a clown
Chance shut the fuck up. You not even married to a black woman
Hmmm racist much
Those rumors better not be true about the gun not even belonging to him cuz her or her ppl will get a gun charge instead if they bought the gun in the first place
We know shooting someone is fucked up, but when we take someone’s side in something we know absolutely nothing about is where WE are wrong. Just chop it up as a fucked up incident and hopefully both sides’ truths will come out. Although I’m sure Tory is gonna get what’s coming for him since he did shoot someone who’s unarmed.
If Tory was innocent he would spoke bro. He been hiding in shame
He probably not speaking because of advice from his lawyer since he got arrested for possession of a weapon. So whatever he says next has to be calculated.
I love how people don’t wear the Chance 3 hat anymore. They can’t give em away…
Guys seriously, bulid a bridge and get over it.
Tory “Lames” certainly needs to be arrested for that bullshit. Tory could have murdered Megan by her bleeding out. stupid jerk.
Phew , I’m really glad Chance the Rapper has come to her defense . I was really having trouble sleeping over this .
Yeah. Now someone ask Ja Rule what he thinks…
Of course Chance The Goofy As$ Simp is going to come to her defense now that it’s safe to use her to bash all black men. So now black men have to protect black women 24/7, and if one thing happens to one of them ever we’re all guilty? Of all the female rappers that have ever rapped, how many times has something like this happened? Gtfoh with that bs chance. He been on this pandering shit ever since his wack as$ album flooped
What type of name is chance the rapper.
Cat looks like a straight pussy
Raps dead homies go listen to pop
Have you heard chance the rappers music he’s straight ass. Even the white kids don’t listen to him lololo
Capn’ Save a H*E… Smfh!
People don’t eeeem know the whole story and she done changed her story like 54/11 times
People are entitled to their opinions. I simply choose not to form mine based on a one sided story. This matter is set before the courts. Chances are, Tory’s not going to give his version of events before then, so I’m going to wait for the trial.
He’s right! But of course this simp comes to the rescue.
Nut ass Ninja F’n with a Nut ass Chick.
Nut shit is bound to happen.
Biggest simp of all-time.
Men did speak out…unsurprisingly ( must be a woman who wrote this…in one sense or another)
PUT THE WHOLE STORY OUT THERE….. Not surprising only 4 people know what actually happened…..Did all the charges get dropped?
