Megan Thee Stallion, as part of a cover story for Elle Magazine, shared a powerful new personal essay that finds her reflecting on the Tory Lanez assault trial. (He was found guilty last year following the 2020 incident.)

In the piece, she spoke about the implications of the trial and how not being believed affected her:

“It never crossed my mind that people wouldn’t believe me. Still, I knew the truth and the indisputable facts would prevail. I had worked way too hard to reach this point in my career to let taunts deter me. When the guilty verdict came on Dec. 23, 2022, it was more than just vindication for me, it was a victory for every woman who has ever been shamed, dismissed, and blamed for a violent crime committed against them.

But my heart hurts for all the women around the world who are suffering in silence, especially if you’re a Black woman who doesn’t appear as if she needs help. So many times, people looked at me and thought, ‘You look strong. You’re outspoken. You’re tall. You don’t look like somebody who needs to be saved.’ They assumed that, per preconceived stigmas, ‘I didn’t fit the profile of a victim,’ and that I didn’t need support or protection.

Time after time, women are bullied with backlash for speaking out against their attackers, especially when they’re accusing someone who is famous and wealthy. They’re often accused of lying or attempting to make money from their trauma. From firsthand experience, I know why a lot of women don’t come forward. Any support and empathy that I received was drowned out by overwhelming doubt and criticism from so many others.”

Toward the end, she notes that she’s trying her best to heal by taking time off social media and instead hanging out with her dogs (or popping up at baseball games.) Megan has also turned to journaling and prayer. And that, with this piece, it will be the last time she speaks about the incident.

“My purpose is for these words to serve as the final time that I’ll address anything regarding this case in the press,” she wrote. “I understand the public intrigue, but for the sake of my mental health, I don’t plan to keep reliving the most traumatic experience of my life over and over again. I’m choosing to change the narrative because I’m more than just my trauma.”

Megan Thee Stallion Wants Tory Lanez Case To End, D.A. Claims

by

After multiple delays in Tory Lanez’s sentencing and hearings to debate requests for a new trial, his shooting victim is tired of all the hassle. Moreover, the Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney, Alexander Bott, recently claimed to reporters outside of the courtroom that Megan Thee Stallion just wants this case to be over. Furthermore, legal reported Meghann Cuniff, who covered this case since its beginning, took to Twitter on Monday (April 17) with some updates. During a hearing, Superior Court Judge David Herriford yet again extended considerations for a new trial for Lanez.

Now, the timeline is that the defense team must provide their supplements to the motion by May 1. Then, prosecutors must respond by May 3 for final deliberations set for May 8. Not only that, but this should be especially contentious, as the prosecution believes said motion for retrial “lacks substance.” After court proceedings resulted in another delay, Bott expressed belief in Tory Lanez’s timely sentencing. In addition, the deputy D.A. also spoke to their wishes to end this case and do right by Megan Thee Stallion’s wishes.

Megan Thee Stallion Wants Closure In Tory Lanez Case

“We want to make sure that Megan gets closure as quickly as possible,” he expressed, according to Meghann’s reporting. “She wants to put an end to this chapter of her life.” Furthermore, this statement lines up with the prosecution rejecting the defense’s motion for a new trial, which cited improper proceedings and evidence. The Houston MC’s team stood by “overwhelming evidence” in the previous trial that showed “multiple eyewitnesses identifying Tory as the shooter, the gun used in the assault found at his feet, and his recorded apologies for the shooting.”

Meanwhile, Tory Lanez remained in jail without bond since his December conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Unfortunately, the court of public opinion has been just as divided when it comes to this case. Although it took up a lot of time, energy, and pain over the last few years, hopefully these delays cease and all parties find peace soon. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Twerk Trap Has Her Cheeks Clapping To Beyoncé In A Sexy Sparkling Dress

by

Megan Thee Stallion teased us earlier this weekend with some bedroom thirst traps that saw her welcoming fans to her “hottie club.” While many are still recovering from those spicy snaps, the Houston native is keeping her foot on our necks with more salacious content, this one falling under the twerk trap category. On Monday (April 17), she hopped on TikTok to tease some of her body’s best assets in a sexy sparkling dress, which was just sheer enough to show the outline of her bodacious behind as she shook it along to Beyoncé’s “CUFF IT (WETTER REMIX).”

In the caption, all the 28-year-old included was a honey emoji, seemingly referring to her sticky sweet moves. Aside from flattering her bottom half, Thee Stallion’s outfit of the night also showed off plenty of underboob, as well as her toned midsection, which she’s been frequently flaunting since making a comeback to the spotlight last month. She continues to wear her hair in a larger-than-life afro, though instead of the shiny black curls she initially showed us, she’s since switched things up in favour of a lighter brown look, which is equally flattering on the versatile fashionista.

While her TikTok post is already blowing up, Megan also shared the clip on Instagram, where the comment section has been flooding with thirsty responses. “I mean, look at the material✨,” BET’s official account wrote. “Megan please,” someone else pleaded. “My man is somewhere on this internet.” Another user chimed in with, “Make that thing clap ma’am 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥,” as they obviously lusted over the “WAP” hitmaker and her famous knees.

When she’s not making us drool with her sultry social media antics, the multi-talent has been busy making plenty of public appearances, as well as preparing for her upcoming concerts. She gave her first performance of the year at the end of March and has since been announced as a headliner at various upcoming festivals with the likes of Mariah Carey and Lauryn Hill. After an undeniably bumpy 2022, it looks like Megan Thee Stallion is ready to come out on top in 2023. Are you excited? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Thong Thirst Trap Welcomes Us To The “Hottie Club”

by

It’s less than a month into spring, and already, Megan Thee Stallion has given us more incredible Instagram posts than we know what to do with. Since making her highly anticipated return at the Vanity Fair Oscars party a few weeks back, she’s been consistently sharing photo dumps – many of them flaunting her physique. The Houston native’s body-ody-ody is something she’s obviously been putting in plenty of work on as of late, even sharing some of her favourite gym selfies with fans in a recent post. Besides working out, Megan has been back in her element on stage, twerking up a storm as always for Thee Hotties.

Sending messages with her clothing looks like “Cash Shit” artist’s new thing. Last weekend, she stunned in an “I ❤ to Make Boys Cry” cropped t-shirt, and today (April 15), her feed lit up one again with a similar look, though this one was missing pants. Sporting noticeably lighter-coloured curls than usual, Thee Stallion’s most recent post begins with her kneeling in bed wearing a shirt and thong. “Bad anxiety,” is written across her chest, along with a collection of trippy smiley faces.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Instagram Antics

Beneath her belly button ring, the 28-year-old wore a black thong with yet another message. “Hottie Club” this one reads, the words circling around a heart eyes emoji located in the centre of her crotch. Rather than giving us a caption, Thee Stallion dropped off a drooling emoji, and let her curves do the talking. Rather than giving us a view of her booty in the panties, as she so often does in other posts, this time around, Megan kept the focus on her flat stomach and barely there waist.

While Tory Lanez and his legal team continue their push for a re-trial, the southern starlet has remained booked, busy, and unbothered. She and Mariah Carey were announced as 2023’s Price in the Park headliners a few weeks back. On top of that, we’ll be seeing Megan Thee Stallion and Lauryn Hill take over New Orleans’ Essence Festival later this year as well. What are your thoughts on the rap diva’s latest IG post? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Megan Thee Stallion Accused Former Label 1501 Certified Entertainment Of Hiding Money To Avoid Paying Her

Megan Thee Stallion has returned to the public eye and the stage. However, the “Sweetest Pie” rapper has decided to take her time when it comes to jumping back into the realm of social media. The H-Town hottie is keeping a relatively low profile on social media, dropping a few sensual selfies here and there, holding back from fully immersing herself into any one app. According to TMZ, the recording artist is doing the exact opposite in the courtroom.

The outlet reports that in a motion filed in court today (April 13), Megan is accusing her former label’s (1501 Certified Entertainment) Carl Crawford of not only “keeping money from her,” but also of “hiding money” earned outside of the label’s main bank account. Megan is supposedly bringing this to light to ensure that if she does win her case against them for unpaid royalties amongst other things, she will be able to recoup the lost earnings without issue.

Meg alleged that the label’s account currently holds less than $10,000, “although they’ve deposited millions of dollars” into it over time. TMZ also shared that the musician is alleging that J. Prince and Gee Roberson are “the only ones receiving a payout.”

In the motion, Megan has requested that the judge, in the case, involve a third party to serve as overseer of 1501 Certified Entertainment’s bank accounts until the case is over.

Megan Thee Stallion Files Motion Against 1501 Certified Ent. and Carl Crawford Over Missed Payments

Carl Crawford Talks Feeling Blindsided by Megan Thee Stallion's Roc Nation Deal

Carl Crawford may have apologized to Megan Thee Stallion, but she said that’s not enough, she wants her money too! TMZ states that Houston Hottie filed a motion against Crawford and 1501 Certified Entertainment over money owed.

Court docs state Crawford is sending all the company’s money, generated by Thee Stallion’s hits, to his own pockets to sidestep paying her. 1501’s main bank account reportedly has under $10,000 in it, not the millions that were deposited there and represented in court documents.

The suit alleges in addition to Crawford, J. Prince and Gee Roberson are getting paydays. Prince and Roberson have roles within the label.

Previously, Carl Crawford backed off of his beef with Megan Thee Stallion. Hitting TMZ, Crawford introduced Kai “Verse” Tayler as the new President of 1501 Certified Entertainment, while also revealing he wants to make amends with the Houston Hottie.

“Unfortunately, me and Megan haven’t talked since 2019,” Crawford said. “We been going through what y’all seen online. That’s unfortunate too because I never wanted to go have a situation where I was going back nad forth with her on the Internet.”

He added, “I never had problems with Megan Thee Stallion, but this social media stuff turned it really sour. You take this social media stuff out of it, and we won’t have a problem. You won’t hear me mention Megan Thee Stallion’s name unless it’s a big-time interview.”

Crawford would reveal that he wanted a fresh face to the company as the reputation had tanked. “I have to take responsibility for anything that happens in 1501.”

Crawford revealed that he always didn’t make the right decisions and is taking ownership of the issue by revamping the roster and staff.

Megan Thee Stallion Accuses 1501 Of Draining Funds

by

The label feud between 1501 Certified Entertainment and Megan Thee Stallion, a signee, continues escalating. Moreover, the Houston rapper recently added fuel to the fire by claiming that label boss Carl Crawford is draining the entity of their funds without properly compensating Megan. Furthermore, she filed a motion on Thursday (April 13) sending said shots and revealing that the label’s primary account allegedly has less than $10,000 left in it. In legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, the star brought up various red flags regarding 1501’s financial stability and their inability to properly compensate its artists.

While the exact amount that was initially deposited in said bank account was redacted, Megan Thee Stallion alleged that it was in the millions. Not only that, but J. Prince, Gee Roberson, and Crawford are the only ones getting paid according to Meg. As previously reported, the 28-year-old is suing 1501 for royalties, demanding a release from the label as well. However, this recent motion relates isn’t just a doubling down on the alleged actors’ fault. It’s also a point of concern, as Meg fears that they won’t have any money to pay her if or when courts side in her favor.

Moreover, this news is interesting given that Crawford recently welcomed the Stallion back to Houston for her first performance in months in an attempt to extend an olive branch. Still, many fans remembered his taunts and social media feuds with Megan Thee Stallion leading up to this situation. As such, many didn’t take kindly to Crawford’s message. ““We want the entire Community of Texas to help 1501 Certified Entertainment welcome Queen of the Hotties, Megan Thee Stallion, back to the City of Houston,” the statement read. In addition, it hinted at a new album and tour, and stated that the label fully supports Megan.

The month prior, Crawford somewhat apologized to her. “Unfortunately, me and Megan haven’t talked since 2019,” he stated. “We been going through what y’all seen online. That’s unfortunate, too, because I never wanted to go have a situation where I was going back and forth with her on the internet. I never had problems with Megan Thee Stallion, but this social media stuff turned it really sour. You take this social media stuff out of it, and we won’t have a problem. You won’t hear me mention Megan Thee Stallion’s name unless it’s a big-time interview.” Regardless of this spat, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Megan Thee Stallion.
