After news broke that Megan Thee Stallion was shot in Los Angeles on July 13 while in a car with Tory Lanez, memes were circulated on social media that suggested Meg had provoked Lanez into shooting her, or that it was a hoax, or that she was in cahoots with Kylie Jenner—with whom she’d been partying earlier that night—to ruin Lanez’s career. Even celebrities joined in on the needless cruelty. But in light of Meg’s Instagram Live Monday evening—where she said she was shot in both feet, and that the shooting had been “done with the intention to physically harm me”—I hope they all feel fucking terrible.
On Instagram Monday, 50 Cent, who had previously mocked Meg after she’d been shot by posting multiple memes about the incident, “apologized.” He wrote: “Damn I didn’t think this shit was real, ♂️It sounded so crazy @theestallion i’m glad your feeling better and i hope you can accept my apology. I posted a meme that was floating around. I wouldn’t have done that if i knew you was really hurt sorry.”
50 Cent, a man who was famously shot nine times, was specifically apologizing “because I didn’t think this shit was real,” and admitted he posted the memes on Instagram because he didn’t know she was “really hurt.” Here’s what Meg had to say in her Instagram Live, to this exact point: “It’s not funny, it’s nothing to joke about, it was nothing for y’all to start going and making up fake stories about. I didn’t put my hands on nobody, I didn’t deserve to get shot, I didn’t do shit.”
In case it’s lost forever in the Internet’s waste bin, here is just one of the memes 50 Cent posted about Meg, referring to a scene from Boyz n the Hood:
