Celebrity Megan Thee Stallion Drake Made A “Weird” And “Unprovoked” Reference To Megan Thee Stallion At His Recent Show In Her Hometown, And It’s Sparked A Ton Of Confusion Drake faced intense criticism last year for accusing Megan of lying about being shot by Tory Lanez, who is now serving a 10-year prison sentence for the shooting.

Jamie Mccarthy / WireImage Back in July 2020, Meg was shot in the foot after a party at Kylie Jenner ’s house. She accused Tory of being the one to shoot her, which fueled speculation that she was lying about the incident .

Greg Doherty / Getty Images In the years since the incident took place, Meg has opened up about how the validity of her story was questioned by the public, telling Rolling Stone she felt as if she “became the villain.” Josh Brasted / WireImage “I don’t know if people don’t take it seriously because I seem strong,” she said in June last year. “I wonder if it’s because of the way I look. Is it because I’m not light enough? Is it that I’m not white enough? Am I not the shape? The height? Because I’m not petite? Do I not seem like I’m worth being treated like a woman?” Axelle / FilmMagic Prior to Tory’s conviction, Drake appeared to make a pretty clear reference to the shooting on a song from his joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss , which was released in November last year. Prince Williams / WireImage In the song “Circo Loco,” Drake raps: “This bitch lie ‘bout getting shot but she still a stallion / She don’t even get the joke but she still smiling.” Prince Williams / WireImage The line sparked intense backlash from listeners, with many calling out Drake for the obvious reference to Megan, which only served to fuel the speculation that she’d lied about the shooting. Joseph Okpako / WireImage What’s more, the line prompted a heated response from Megan herself, who called Drake out for defending Tory and bolstering “ weak ass conspiracy theories .” I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol Niggas nor hoes EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts.

Prince Williams / WireImage In a video of the live exchange , Drake clocks his friend beside the stage and says: “I gotta give a shoutout to somebody in here that’s been with me since the beginning of my career. Her name is Megan.” Drake shouts out friend and photographer The Megan during his latest concert: “Real H-Town love, shoutout to Meg one time for real… Not that Meg, this Meg.” pic.twitter.com/CABQMOakcp — Pop Base (@PopBase) September 21, 2023 Twitter: @PopBase He continues: “She’s been there with me since day one, like, real shit… Real H-Town legend. Shoutout to Meg.” Marcelo Hernandez / Getty Images After this he begins to turn away, but quickly turns back to clarify: “Not that Meg, this Meg,” shaking his hand. Marcelo Hernandez / Getty Images For context, Megan Thee Stallion is famously from Houston, too, so it’s possible that members of the audience might have made the mistake that he was referring to her.

Hubert Vestil / WireImage “That Canadian is very calculated with everything he does. Even if it’s loser shit. It’s not a coincidence he chose to shoutout a fan with the same name just so he could say ‘no not that Meg’ and in Houston,” one user wrote on X , formerl Read more
