“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/ I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start,” she raps on the song.
Seemingly directed at Nicki’s husband, convicted sex offender Kenneth Petty, “Megan’s Law” is a federal law requiring authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders.

The law is named after Megan Kanka, who was murdered in 1994 by a sex predator who wasn’t legally required to identify himself in his neighborhood at the time.
Megan was seven years old when she was was raped and killed by her neighbor Jesse Timmendequas after he lured her into his house. He was previously convicted of child molestation.
Now, her father, Richard Kanka, has slammed Megan Thee Stallion for using his daughter’s name in her diss song battle with Nicki Minaj.
According to TMZ, Richard is “fuming” over the line and the fact that she’s bringing attention to the law doesn’t change his ill feeling.

Richard described the use of his daughter’s name on “Hiss” as “highly offensive” to both his daughter’s memory and her family’s pain.
The father has yet to listen to the song but was made aware of it by one of his children and isn’t impressed after reading the lyrics.

He is also considering taking legal action against Megan, although TMZ speculate this will be an uphill battle given the liberties that artists have when it comes to referencing cultural and historical events in their music.
“Hiss” prompted a response from Nicki Minaj in the form of “Big Foot,” which saw her attacking Megan Thee Stallion over being shot in the foot, accusing her of undergoing liposuction and referencing her mother’s death.
Megan previously appeared on The Breakfast Club to explain who “Hiss” is aimed at.
“It’s for these bitches and hoes, bitches and hoes alike, men or women,” she said. “Every time one of these motherfuckers uses Megan Thee Stallion name, they get 24 hours of attention.

“Basically, I understand what y’all doing, and I want y’all to get up off me. Use something else. Do something different. Use another tactic. This one getting old.”
She added: “I’m saying, a hit dog gon’ holler. That’s it. Whoever feel it, feel it.”
