Megan Thee Stallion’s fans are rallying around her to show their support; after social media users turned the news of her getting shot into a meme.
A week after the news broke that Megan Thee Stallion was in a dramatic police stop with Tory Lanez on July 16, the unfunny situation somehow became a meme.
For whatever reason, learning that Megan had sustained serious injuries in the incident didn’t keep people from laughing about it. Thankfully, fans around the world are making a concerted effort to send the rapper a wave of love and support.
Two weekends ago, Megan and Lanez were pulled over by Los Angeles police officers; who followed them after learning of a concerning dispute that took place in the SUV that the stars were riding in.
The musicians were pulled over, and when LAPD searched the vehicle, they discovered a gun inside of it. Both Megan and Lanez were detained. TMZ reported that the police took Lanez into custody and later charged him with carrying a concealed weapon.
Police saw that Megan’s foot was bleeding. Further investigation revealed that the injuries were actually gunshot wounds; presumably sustained in an altercation with Lanez.

Across every social media platform, speculation about why and how the friendship between the artists had spiralled into a situation involving the police.

Even the artists’ peers chimed in, in very poor taste. Reality TV personality and model Draya Michele compared the pair’s relationship to that of Bobby Brown and the late Whitney Houston, and rapper 50 Cent joked about it with various now-deleted memes on Instagram.
Unfortunately, seeing the stupid conversations about her led Megan to speak out once again; sharing that what happened to her wasn’t a joke. According to her, it was very real and still very painful.
