On his new album, Drake attacks the rapper and questions his allegations against Tory Lanez, who allegedly shot him in July 2020. While a trial is scheduled for December, some accuse Drake of black misogyny.
Rapper Drake chased Megan Thee Stallion on her new album “Her Loss” written in collaboration with 21 Savage? In the title “Circo Loco”, he seems to imply that Megan Thee Stallion’s allegations against Tory Lanez are false. “That b—- about getting shot but he’s still a stallion, “ writes Drake, otherwise translated as “This bitch is lying about her being shot, but she’s still a stallion”. If the rapper initially explains that the term stallion refers to a horse, he retracts shortly after on Twitter, showing his anger. To understand this case we must go back to July 12, 2020. On the sidelines of an evening organized by Kylie Jenner in Hollywood Hills, Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion accompanied by a friend of the rapper and Lanez’s bodyguard, share the same car to leave the event. Along the way, the Houston rapper asks to be dropped after an argument breaks out in the vehicle. It was then that Tory Lanez would shoot him, shouting: “Dance, bitch!”.

In an article published in July 2020, reporter Taylor Crumpton had already reported in the colones d’Harper Bazaarthe attacks inflicted on the rapper. “The men of the hip-hop community disappointed Megan Thee Stallion. On social media she has been the subject of mockery and memes, which have mitigated the severity of the violence inflicted on her. This highlights a bigger problem: the sadistic nature of misogyny in hip-hop, a blood-stained industry of its ancestors’ violence against black women.“. In this paper shared by the media in recent days due to current events, the journalist explains that the permanent dehumanization of black women contributes to these excesses of verbal violence: “If black women are no longer seen as human beings, then their bodies are seen as deserving of disproportionate pain. If black women are no longer granted femininity, their bodies are subjected to transphobic attacks in an attempt to validate the violence they suffer ”..
Megan The Stallion had been mocked by rapper Cam’ron who compared her to a manor even 50 Cent who had finally apologized publicly.

Not the perfect victim
TakeOff, a member of the Migos group, was shot dead in early November. A shock for many members of the hip-hop community, who demanded to stem the violence that reigns in the rap world in the United States. Their wish: to see successful black men able to age in peace. If the world of hip-hop accepts that it wants to ban physical violence, there are far fewer people who denounce the verbal violence aimed at Megan Thee Stallion, the victim of multiple attacks on social networks since the revelation of the story. For magazine Essencethe reason lies in a simple conclusion: Megan Thee Stallion is not the perfect victim, the one portrayed on television.
“Megan’s existence as a tall, voluptuous, sex-friendly black woman belies the image of the ‘perfect victim’. Her outspoken and sexy personality of hers was used to justify the fact that she wasn’t seen as a person worthy of “respect” or that she didn’t get help from her male counterparts in the industry. However, these same men and executives urge her to strengthen and elevate their platforms. We can’t forget how Drake invited Megan Thee Stallion as a surprise guest at OVO Fest (as her breakthrough single “Big Ole Freak” topped the Billboard charts)“, Writes the American magazine.
Words that echo a grandstand that the Houston rapper wrote in the New York Times, in which she explained that the protection of women of color should not be controversial.
“Even as a victim, I was greeted with skepticism and judgment. The way people publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault shows that my fears in discussing what happened were, sadly, justified. ”Megan Te stallone, 2020

Though Drake didn’t respond to this ugly buzz, Megan’s attorney Alex Spiro told HuffPost: “Despite the overwhelming evidence that Megan has been a victim of gun violence, the ignorant continues to support her attacker.”.
After several postponements, the trial between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez, who pleaded not guilty, is expected to begin on December 9. Lanez is charged with assaulting a semi-automatic firearm – personal use of a firearm – as well as carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. He faces up to 22 years in prison.
