T.I. recently spoke to Complex about a myriad of topics, including Kanye West, his new series with 50 Cent and the single “Ring” featuring Young Thug. During the conversation, he also revealed he’d confronted Tory Lanez about the Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident.
Tip has been extremely vocal about his support for Megan since the shooting took place in July. When asked about it, he said he feels Black women are the “most attacked, least protected, least defended, most vulnerable, and most exposed species on this Earth.”
He continued, “I don’t know what the fuck happened. I know what she says happened, but I don’t know why it happened. But I know if it did happen, that’s everybody’s responsibility to make sure that this young lady feels supported and that she knows that the community and the culture is behind her. I think that’s important.
“I think that’s all of our obligation and responsibilities, not even as artists, or as rappers, or as executives in this business, but as men, as a Black man. We can’t allow nobody, myself included, to be out here goddamn letting off shots at women in bikinis. Now, I just have a problem with that.”
While Lanez told Tip he couldn’t divulge exactly what led to the shooting, he did claim the narrative being spread by the media isn’t accurate.
“I spoke to him and he said the shit didn’t happen like that,” Tip said. “I said, ‘Well, you need to be saying something, bruh. How did it happen?’ And he said he couldn’t say nothing about how it did actually happen. I told him I understood that. I said, ‘Man, you can’t expect nobody to ignore the facts that are being presented if you don’t have any other conclusive facts that can overturn these. You got to say something, bruh.’
“If you ain’t going to say nothing, you can’t expect nobody else to. I ain’t about to just shut up when you got facts out here that say it’s a woman been shot at the hands of another Black man within the culture. We’ve got to speak out on that. We’re the fuck n-ggas if we don’t.”
Megan initially didn’t identify Lanez as the triggerman but after getting mercilessly attacked online, she finally decided to out him during an Instagram Live session last month.
“I’m from the Southside — it ain’t like, ‘Let me go run and tell my business to the police, you know what I’m saying?” she said. “I ain’t never been that type of person. But, I’m not gonna let y’all keep playin’ in my face. And I’m not gonna let this bitch ass play in my face either.
“So, since you hoes so worried ’bout it, yes this n-gga Tory shot me. You shot me! And you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and shit. Stop lying.”
Meanwhile, the former host of Quarantine Radio has gone radio silent. The Los Angeles Police Department is reportedly investigating his involvement in the incident. Adding insult to injury, the Canadian rapper is currently facing a lawsuit from Miami’s LIV Nightclub for an alleged beatdown last November.
T.I. Tells Tory Lanez He Needs To Speak Up Following Megan Thee Stallion's Confession
Christopher Harty claims Lanez and his security detail assaulted him inside the club. Lanez allegedly threw some verbal shots at Harty before taking a swing and landing a punch. From there, the altercation escalated into Lanez’s security “punching, kicking and beating” Harty. He’s now suing Lanez for unspecified damages.
The 2 skinniest dudes in hip hop, of course they get along. Lanez couldn’t handle the stallion, he was drunk, thats it. He should be in jail, regular civilian would be in jail. White privilege I guess.
I think he was drunk and high capping and called her a bitch and she clowned the homie. And he reacted like a bitch nigga and drew down. I mean damn, it happens everyday somewhere across the globe. Once people get full of alcohol they act a fool. Man or woman. And some people go overboard because they pride on the line. Moral of the story however Tory Lanez U A Bitch!!!! ( U like Joe Tory on Poetic Justice) P.S. T.I sit yo azz down lil nigga…
Well we all know he was drunk buddy…
How about sticking up for the multitude of black lives murdered on the daily by black lives? I understand a tranny being shot in her dick is more newsworthy but are those lives not important also?
The fuck iz u sticking up 4?? Lol and y u gay ass niggas so stuck on calling the young woman a tranny?? LOL any pussy u impotent niggas cant handle turns into a dick…LMAO
or shes like 6 feet and calls her self a stallion, which again for the 10th time is a MALE horse.
Idiots don’t know $#!t. Broad named herself after a male horse
Yaul tha dumb fucks LMAO…a stallion is considered to be a super fine ass female….that shit is old and niggas been using that term for decades…u and buddy the dumbfucks
TIPs telling someone they must TALK. No surprise here.
T.i is the hip hop Karen.
Hhahaha. Black queens matter? Isn’t he clit checking and cheating on his wife all day? Hilarious. The hypocrisy of this moron. He is a straight racist idiot. Complaining about systematic racism when he has 50M.SMH
Which has 0 to do with him letting off shots at a female (and u really a hater4 mentioning the mans bread smh reachin’ ass nigga)…u tried though
Nah dawg, not everything SMH say alright with me but one part he right about is Tip a wanna be gangster and clout chasing fool. Who he think he lying to. We see thru him.
Tell T.I. to fuck off and mind his own business. Tory Lanez should’ve asked him why he snitched and got in his business lol
if only he was as passionate about every other shooting, but I guess it has to be popular to care.
Tory Lanez is a pu$$y. These dudes start fights when they have security. This mf wouldn’t say nothing by himself. Another wankster finally exposed.
Lmao at the end of the article. Tory Lanez beatdown. Whoever let Tory beat their ass need to dig themselves a hole. He can be considered a midget. How the fuck would he be able to land a swing?
he still calls this tranny a queen after the wap song? Take me back to 1995 when all eyez on Me was realesed, please god
Tip got a serious case of short man syndrome. He hyperventilating trying to chase clout like a dog in heat. It doesn’t really matter what side people on. Tory don’t have answer or entertain him. It’s clear that the matter is set for court so let the judge and the jury decide. All of a sudden he woke about women’s rights when a moment ago he was on blast about the way he was treating his lady. He a bussa with some change in his pocket!
So this shit gotta happen to a celebrity for you to address it? I ain’t never heard this take before from Cliffy…Must be the 1st time it happened, you really gotta nip these type of things in the bud before they get out of control
so what was t.i. going to issue a beat down?
man fuck TI nosey fuck nigga damn. Nigga damn near shot someone and here come tip trying to know was wrong nigga tory didnt even go to court yet. TI the only rapper with time on his hands
That’s because he’s an activist and yes he do have time for his people. Some a lot of you mf know nothing about but this is old.T.I. said this when it first happened not recently, if you go to YouTube you will see that it’s old news. Stop believing everything people say and research for yourself damn.
T.i. said this weeks ago. You are recycling it as new “news” because Tory’s team is paying you to. In order to boost his b.s. stunt Tonite.
