Megan Thee Stallion has been pretty quiet since Tory Lanez was convicted in a shooting that harmed her. And rightfully so, she’s been through a lot, and we all could use breaks. But fans noticed that she no longer follows Pardison Fontaine on Instagram, and traditionally, that signals a break-up. Hollywood Unlocked capture the follower status below.
While Tory Lanez’s trial was in deliberation, Pardison Fontaine spoke out, offering prayers to any woman dealing with injustice.
“To any woman, especially ones of color, that has suffered an injustice, I feel for you …” Fontaine wrote. “When you do find the courage to speak up it seems you will be ridiculed. Your credibility will be questioned, your entire past will be held under a magnifying glass. In an instant you can go from victim to defendant in the eyes of the public. To anyone with a sister, mother, niece or aunt, I pray for their protection. I pray for their covering. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.”

The post Breakup Rumors Swirl After Fans Notice Megan Thee Stallion No Longer Follows Pardison Fontaine appeared first on The Source.
Internet sleuths believe there is trouble in paradise between Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine. The Hip Hop pair has been dating for some time, often flaunting their romance on social media. They quickly became “couple goals” for fans, and it seemed as if they were in it for the long haul. However, as social media users do, they noticed that Megan no longer follows Fontaine on Instagram, leaving many to question whether or not they are still together.
It looks as if Pardison still follows Megan, but the lack of reciprocity has people guessing. Neither Megan nor Fontaine have been as active on social media as usual, possibly due to Tory Lanez’s case. During the trial, Megan reportedly gave emotional testimony about the night she was shot and reiterated that Lanez was the person responsible.
Meanwhile, Fontaine was noticeably silent during the trial. He did, however, surface around the conclusion to pen a note about victims of abuse. “To any woman especially ones of color that has suffered an injustice I feel for you. When you do find the courage to speak up.. it seems you will be ridiculed. Your credibility will [be] questioned.. your entire past will be held under a magnifying glass. In an instant you can go from victim to defendant in the eyes of the public.”
He added, “To any one with a daughter sister mother niece or aunt.. I pray for their protection, I pray for their covering, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.” Since then, the public hasn’t heard much from Megan or her boyfriend. On the stand during the Lanez trial, Megan hinted at what life was like behind closed doors.
“I feel disgusted, I feel dirty, my own partner is embarrassed,” she admitted. “I can’t even be happy, I don’t want to talk to friends or family.” Quickly, people began to speculate about the nature of the high-profile relationship and if there was trouble brewing. After testifying, Megan has been hush-hush as Lanez’s sentencing hearing approaches. The singer was found guilty of three counts related to Megan’s shooting, and he’s slated to learn the remainder of his fate in just a few weeks.
Kiely Williams of R&B girl group 3LW just told Drake to apologize to Megan Thee Stallion, sending a shot via Twitter. Moreover, she responded to comments Drake recently made about artists who reach streaming milestones deserving bonuses. “We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate the future artists to be consistent and competitive,” he wrote this week. “So feel free to send me a Lebron sized cheque I have enough dinner plates,” adding a laughing emoji and heart. Williams then responded to these comments via Twitter. “Oh f**k off,” she clapped back. “It’s something like 1000 streams = 1 album sale. Go to bed, Aubrey. And apologize to Meg. Better yet, delete that whole album.”
Moreover, the 36-year-old referred to Drake’s alleged shots aimed toward Megan Thee Stallion on his song “Circo Loco.” It’s from his collab tape with 21 Savage, Her Loss, and apparently references the Tory Lanez situation. “This b***h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion,” he rapped. “She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.” Many interpreted these bars as being about Megan, whom Tory Lanez shot in an altercation in July of 2020. Back when Drake dropped this bar, authorities hadn’t yet found Tory guilty of the crime.
Meanwhile, Meg herself addressed the diss, as she juggled her legal battle and album drop at the same time. It was certainly a lot to handle, and she didn’t hold back. “I know I’m very popular but y’all gotta stop attaching weak ass conspiracy theories in bars to my name lol,” she tweeted. “N***as nor h**s EVER address me or @ me WITH a fact or receipts. I AM CLOUT B***H keep sucking my pussy…
“Stop using my shooting for clout b***h ass N***as!” she continued. “Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n***as especially RAP N***AS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.” For what it’s worth, since she tweeted this in November, no party has said that things smoothed out. Still, hopefully things got cleared up behind the scenes. However you may feel about Drake’s streaming comments, stay tuned to HNHH to see if the Meg apology comes anytime soon.
After an exhausting few years, Megan Thee Stallion is taking a much-needed break. We haven’t heard anything from the rapper since she testified against Tory Lanez, and her fans don’t seem to mind. For over two years, Megan was ridiculed, trolled, threatened, and called a liar by not only the public but her peers. Several outlets and media personalities also chose sides and used their platforms to discount Megan saying that Lanez was the person who shot her.
My Expert Opinion is a leading voice in Hip Hop podcasts, guided by Math Hoffa. The outlet maintained that Megan wasn’t telling the truth, and now that we’re on the other side of the case, Hoffa is offering an apology. He acknowledged Megan during a recent visit to Drink Champs.
“I want to apologize to Megan, too, because I saw 50 [Cent] put out an apology,” Hoffa said. “We didn’t believe her, we did not believe her, bro, we didn’t believe her. She definitely needed more people. Well, she didn’t really need more people. We just needed to hear that jail conversation.”
Like 50 Cent, it wasn’t until after Lanez was found guilty that Megan was believed. Even after the verdict was reached, the Houston rapper faced opposition from the public. People thought, and still think, Lanez was railroaded by a corrupt system. However, evidence was later made public, including a jailhouse call Lanez made to Kelsey Harris immediately after the incident.

“As Black men, we’re supposed to protect our women,” Hoffa also shared. “I feel like I failed in that category… as far as the things that I said on our podcast.”
While on Big Boy’s Neighborhood weeks ago, 50 Cent also apologized, sort of, to Megan for trolling her about the case. He admitted that it wasn’t until he heard Lanez’s jail call that he believed her story. Lanez is currently awaiting sentencing. His hearing is at the end of the month, and he faces upwards of 22 years in prison.

The ongoing legal battle between Megan Thee Stallion and 1501 Certified Entertainment recently received another ruling. The rapper has been hush-hush following Tory Lanez’s conviction, and as she gains support from her followers, a judge ruled about Roc Nation’s CEO, Desiree Perez.
According to Billboard, Perez will have to sit for a deposition in the case. Megan’s legal team attempted to have the deposition blocked, citing 1501 was “harassing” the industry leader.
The rapper and her label have been at odds for years. She wants out of her contract and stated she’d fulfilled all necessities to end her agreement with 1501. However, they claim she still owes them another record because one of her projects shouldn’t be counted as an album.
Things have also spilled over onto social media as 1501 boss Carl Crawford often appears with opinions about the Houston Hottie. Following Megan signing a management deal with Roc Nation, the company’s attorneys reportedly told her that the 1501 deal was “well below industry standards.”
The label wanted Perez to sit for a deposition because they called her a key witness. However, Megan’s team tried shielding her with the apex doctrine.
The apex doctrine states that “busy top officials only need to testify when they have unique info that can’t be derived from other less burdensome sources,” writes Billboard.
However, 1501 responded by saying Perez was “directly, personally, and substantially involved in the underlying facts of the lawsuit.”
A date hasn’t been shared for the deposition, nor has one been set for the jury trial.

Now that Tory Lanez has hired David Kenner, former attorney to Suge Knight, people have been curious about what the Death Row founder had to say about the case. Knight is currently serving a 28-year sentence connected to the death of Terry Carter in 2015. Rolling Stone briefly spoke with Knight recently, and he chimed in about Lanez’s case involving Megan Thee Stallion.
“I understand what Megan goes through because when Tupac and I got shot in Vegas… I got a fragment and a bullet an inch to my skull today,” he said.
“They didn’t remove it because they said if it went another inch, I’d have been a vegetable or dead,” Knight continued. “So, I know what it’s like when people say, ‘You didn’t get shot, this didn’t happen, she’s lying.’ They accused me of stuff (too).”
Additionally, Knight believes if he had Kenner as his attorney for his case, “I wouldn’t be having this conversation from prison.” Knight further emphasized that he believes a better legal team would have helped him exponentially.
Rolling Stone reported they spoke with a source who claims Lanez regrets not testifying at his trial. It was a risky move considering, and in the end, a jury found him guilty of three counts.
“If he’s guilty, that’s one thing,” said Knight. “But if he didn’t have the right person representing him to get a fair shake, that’s another thing.”
“Right now, Tory is probably going through [the] worst days of life, because the county jail [is] so horrible and dirty,” the former music executive also shared. “The food is garbage, the cell is freezing, it’s dirty and nasty. You could be sitting in your bed at night, and a rat might run across your chest, or it might bite you. Roaches is all over your bed.”
Lanez has revamped his legal team and is looking forward to appealing his conviction. Meanwhile, he will face sentencing on February 28.

Tory Lanez recently hired a new lawyer to his team, Jose Baez, who famously defended Casey Anthony and Anthony Hernandez. Baez wasn’t on board during Lanez’s trial in December, which ended with a guilty verdict on all three counts. However, it appears that he’s hopeful that he could appeal.
Baez briefly detailed his role on Tory’s team, as well as the possibilities of an appeal with TMZ. He explained that he wished he “had come in sooner as opposed to later.”
“Unfortunately, this is the way that it is, but he’s got me now and I’m certainly willing to give him everything I have and hopefully, we’ll get the best result possible for him,” he said.
Baez added that Tory seems to be adjusting to life in jail better than expected. Still, there are things he hoped would’ve gone the other way during the trial.
“In all of that, there are things that certainly in the trial he wished had gone the other way,” he said. “He’s trying his best to adjust to everything. In light of the fact that he’s never been in this situation before, it’s really a tough process to go through.”
Baez hasn’t appeared in court on Tory’s behalf yet, therefore he couldn’t publicly comment on the case. However, he suggested that there are flaws in the case that could warrant an appeal. He said that the court it is a “human system” that determines the outcome of each case. “There’s mistakes in trials all the time,” he said.
“Now, when you have a high-profile case, there’s a lot more things to worry about,” he explained. Baez added that this creates more concerns for the judiciary, defense lawyers, and prosecutors to ensure a fair trial.
“So all players are now playing with additional work and need to be protecting those safeguards to ensure that there’s a safe trial to begin with,” he continued. “And I have to tell you, 9 out of 10 times, we get it wrong. So I would say that there’s probably a significant chance that there are numerous errors that are within the system and within this case that should be explored, and see if perhaps the results would have been different should it gone the other way.”
We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding Tory Lanez’s trial.
