Gayle King Responds To Megan Thee Stallion Lying About Her Relationship With Tory Lanez

by

Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words was a pretty anticipated documentary for a myriad of reasons. Of course, the main draw of it was to hear more about the Houston rapper’s feelings and thoughts about the Tory Lanez shooting debacle. In the Amazon Prime Video special, fans wound up learning that Megan and the Canadian singer and rapper actually had a bit of a romantic history before everything hit the fan. Overall, she isn’t necessarily for talking about it. It’s maybe an indicator as to why she revealed she lied to CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King when inquired about possible sexual encounters.

“Yes, b****, I lied to Gayle King, b****,” Megan openly admitted. “First of all, I ain’t know that b**** was even going to ask me about that s***, b****. I thought we was going to talk about the shooting. Why is you asking me about f***ing Tory? That’s not what this is about. Even if I was, I f***ed the n****, like, once. Maybe twice, on a drunk night. But she kept catching me out of my f***ing mind.” This clip went viral and eventually circled back to Gayle. She’s previously mentioned how she has no hard feelings toward Megan and didn’t take offense to her calling her a “b****.”

However, TMZ got around to catching her in public and asked her about the lie. Once again, Gayle isn’t bothered by it one bit. Overall, she really wanted to give the superstar femcee a platform to share her story, especially since so many have been siding with Lanez. Ultimately, Gayle is looking forward to checking out the documentary in its entirety and that she’s rooting for Megan throughout her legal ordeal.

Tory Lanez’s “Relevant Evidence” In Megan Thee Stallion Case Shot Down By Attorney General

by

There is a major update in regard to the “relevant evidence” that Tory Lanez was claiming to have. To catch you up to speed, the Brampton, Ontario, Canada rapper recently asked the California court to hear out a statement from his driver, Jauquan Smith. A witness at the scene of the crime, Lanez was hoping that Smith’s explanation that it was Megan’s friend Kelsey Harris holding the gun would be able to end his 10-year sentence. It was one of a few wins for the “Prison Tapes” MC, as the court was willing to hear out the evidence. However, that victory was short-lived, as HipHopDX is reporting that the California Attorney General’s Office is not accepting it.

In Smith’s affidavit, he claims that he did not have good recollection of who actually shot Megan Thee Stallion. Deputy Attorney General, Michael C. Keller, is the man responsible for making this decision to shoot down Lanez’s evidence and he did so in an informal response yesterday. What helped Keller come to this was a previous undisclosed statement from Lanez’s previous lawyer, George Mgdesyan.

Tory Lanez’s Driver Is Not A “Helpful Witness”

Because George didn’t call Smith in 2022, Keller and the state came to the same conclusion. Essentially, they knew how Smith would go about his statements. “Because, obviously, his testimony is gonna be putting the gun in the hands of Kelsey”, Keller said. He also did not feel that because Smith claims to not know who pulled the trigger it “does not directly contradict [Megan]’s testimony that petitioner [Lanez] was the person who shot her”. Furthermore, he also cited that there is plenty of other evidence that goes against Lanez such as a DNA test and texts making it hard to believe it couldn’t have been anyone else but the Canadian.

What are your thoughts on Tory Lanez’s “relevant evidence” not being so according to the attorney general? What will this mean going forward for the incarcerated rapper? Do you still think its #FreeTory? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Megan Thee Stallion Overcome With Emotion During Gut-Wrenching Performance Of “Cobra” In Tampa Bay: Watch

by

Not that it is a contest, but it is going to be hard to find a lot of artists who have dealt with as much as Megan Thee Stallion has. That is especially true for the last couple of years. Of course, almost everyone is aware of the dreadful Tory Lanez debacle, which landed the Toronto multi-hyphenate a 10-year prison sentence. On top of that, she has always been ridiculed by some hip-hop media figures and trolls online for how she portrays herself overall. Then, just recently, an alleged AI-generated sextape of her leaked and went viral. All of this almost assuredly led to Megan Thee Stallion breaking down into tears during her Tampa tour stop.

This gut-wrenching moment went down in the Florida city this past Saturday, June 8, according to HipHopDX. As you can see you below, fans got footage of Megan choking up numerous times during her performance of “Cobra”. If you remember, the lead single for her soon-to-be released self-titled album recalled the Lanez incident, as well as her mental health. With the themes of the song, and just some of the emotional baggage she has been lugging around, everything appeared to hit the Dallas native like a semi.

“I’ma give you this performance without tearing up,” the hitmaker said to her supportive Hotties. They cheered her on, trying to encourage the superstar to give it her all. However, even with that promise, she could not contain her emotions anymore. She tried to rap a few lines but could not muster much else. IN fact, Megan even let “Cobra” get to its second verse without saying a word into the microphone. But from the fans’ tweets, it appears she was able to power through.

What are your thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion crying during her performance of “Cobra” in Tampa Bay? Do you think everything she’s gone through led to this happening, why or why not? Is this one of the best songs of her career? Are you still excited for the release of Megan?

Kelsey Nicole Believes There’s A Video Of Megan Thee Stallion & Tory Lanez Shooting Incident

by

While Tory Lanez sits in jail and Megan Thee Stallion readies her comeback, Kelsey Nicole has remained rather lowkey. As the third party to the infamous shooting incident in July 2020, many believe that Kelsey is the only person, outside of Tory and Megan, who knows exactly what went down that night. However, with the blowback of Tory Lanez’s trial and her fallout with Megan Thee Stallion, she attempted to distance herself from the salacious headlines that galvanized social media for the past four years.

Finally, Kelsey Nicole gets ready to tell her side of the story. The Danza Project unveiled the trailer for season 2 of their podcast and Kelsey will help kick things off. The dramatic trailer sees Kelsey vibe out to Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” shed a few tears, and open up about the traumatic shooting. “That morning, I woke up and I had said a prayer. If there’s something not for me, show me that. That night, it was destruction,” she says in the clip.

Kelsey Nicole’s First Interview In Four Years

Perhaps, the most intriguing part about the whole trailer is when Kelsey Nicole addresses rumors of video footage from the night Megan was shot. If you recall, Wack 100 recently claimed that he got his hands on footage from that night and suggested that it would end Megan Thee Stallion. Though Kelsey didn’t confirm whether this would be a career-ending video, she said that she believes there is footage of the incident. “I’m positive there was a video. There had to have been one, you’re in LA, you’re in Hollywood,” she said.

Since the shooting, Kelsey Nicole’s remained rather quiet about everything that transpired that evening. Her testimony was particularly dicey, especially since she recanted certain statements on the stand that she made during interrogation. However, these days, she seems to be keeping to herself. We’ll see what she has to say on The Danza Project. Season 2 debuts on March 3rd, 2024. Check out the trailer above and sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below.

Wack 100 Doubles Down On Alleged Megan Thee Stallion & Tory Lanez Video, Fans Poke Holes In His Information

by

Wack 100 is someone who is constantly finding himself involved with the latest internet drama. Overall, if something is going on with an artist he has associated with, he will say something about it. For instance, he has been part of the Blueface and Chrisean Rock saga. With Chrisean moving back into Blue’s crib, Wack is saying that he owns the home. Aside from that, he has engaged in the Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj beef by bringing up old legal matters. Of course, we mean the Tory Lanez shooting.

Yesterday, we reported on how Wack 100 was claiming there is a video that was not used in court. In this video, Kelsey Nicole can allegedly be seen shooting Megan Thee Stallion. This would ultimately clear Tory Lanez and his name. Although there is no evidence that this video exists, Wack 100 continues to say otherwise. While on a stream with Milagro Gramz, Wack doubled down on his assertions about the video. He describes what he saw on the tape, and firmly believes Meg was “too drunk” to remember what went down.

Subsequently, fans poured into the Live Bitez comment section where they poured water on these comments. Mostly, fans aren’t so sure such a video exists. Moreover, they made it clear that Wack is largely uninformed surrounding the circumstances of the case. For instance, Meg never went to the police about Tory. Instead, he started talking on social media, and it led to his downfall. “She not the one who took him to court… LA COUNTY DID. She didn’t tell on him… He got online babbling with his team. And then she got on live be fr…” one person noted. “Who believes this? TMZ would have already bought that tape and posted it. Yeah, but WACK magically got the tape,” said another.

Overall, this is a case that a lot of people are done with by now. However, with Meg at war with Nicki, it was only a matter of time before these rumors started popping up. Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Wack 100 Warns Megan Thee Stallion That Her Career Is Over When Alleged Tory Lanez Video Drops

by

Wack 100 Remains one of the most predominant commentators on hip-hop culture. Overall, he oftentimes finds himself in feuds and internet drama. Moreover, he is biased towards the artists he either manages or has dealt with in the past. As it pertains to the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting, Wack has always been on the side that Meg is allegedly lying. Of course, Lanez was convicted of shooting Meg, back in 2022. However, for some, this has simply not been good enough.

There are those out there who will not believe that Tory is guilty until 4K footage of the shooting is uploaded somewhere. This is very much indicative of the times that we are living in right now. Regardless, there are a lot of people out there who seem to want Megan brought down, and Wack is one of them. According to The Neighborhood Talk, Wack 100 can be heard in new audio speaking on an alleged video of the shooting. While no evidence of this video even exists, Wack says it is out there and would threaten Meg’s career.

In Wack’s mind, this footage completely exonerates Tory. However, fans are not so convinced that this is the case. As many pointed out, if this footage was real, it would have been presented in court. Although some allege it was actually suppressed. “This is so weird that y’all want him to be innocent so bad,” one person wrote. “I never knew y’all cared about TORY til this!!” “How much is Tory paying these people to just blatantly lie,” said another. Whatever the case may be, Wack seems to believe he has earth-shattering knowledge that we may or may never know about.

With Meg in the news for her Nicki diss, there is no surprise these stories are following. Let us know what you think of Wack’s comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists.

DJ Akademiks Continues To Support Tory Lanez, Bashes Megan Thee Stallion’s “Cobra” Single

by

Honestly, there is no telling if the debate on who was done wrong in the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting incident will end. Some of the details still seem to be muddy even after all of this time we have had discussing it. There is a great divide amongst music fans on whose side they are on. It seems anytime people post about anything Megan-related, #FreeTory’s reign supreme in the comments section. On the opposite end, women are obviously on the Texas rapper’s side. One person who firmly has the Canadian’s support is DJ Akademiks.

The rap insider and internet troll loves to get under people’s skin at any given time. That we all know by now. Just look at the recent beef with Yung Miami and Saucy Santana. Additionally, it seems that he heavily favors men in any situation as he constantly has something negative to say about any female artist. DJ continues that same trend in a recent interview. He revealed that he called Tory from prison to check in on his well-being. It all started because he was asked if he thinks Tory shot Megan.

Akademiks did not want to give an answer because he felt all the truths had not been revealed yet. What he can say is that the incarcerated rapper is in good spirits even after being sent to a supermax prison right before the end of October. The interviewer questioned him about how he feels about the new Megan Thee Stallion’s tell-all single, “Cobra.” Let us just we are not too surprised by his answer. “S*** was trash.” However, to his credit, he did say he is still a fan of Megan’s so that maybe negates it?

What are your initial thoughts on DJ Akademiks’ comments about Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion? Are they fair or foul? Do you think he is just hating to hate on Megan’s new song, “Cobra?” We would like to know what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Is Tory Lanez Still In Jail?

by

For the last three years, if you’ve been anywhere on social media you seemingly were unable to escape the ongoing court case involving singer and rapper Tory Lanez. Lanez, birth name Daystar Peterson, is currently awaiting final sentencing after having been found guilty of assault with a firearm, possession of a concealed weapon, and the negligent discharge of a firearm. This combination of charges that could earn him a maximum of 22 years in prison.

There Has Been A Delay In His Sentencing

While initial reports suggested that Tory Lanez would be in court to face sentencing on February 28th, there was a delay in sentencing that will extend the sentencing as far as April 10th, according to recent reports. As of now Lanez, who was previously living in a penthouse in Miami, is now a temporary resident of the LA County Sheriff Department’s central jail until sentencing, after which his next placement will be determined.

In case you HAVE been in a social media time bubble and haven’t heard anything about this case (can you tell me how to do that, ya girl needs a break) the backstory is a sordid and convoluted one. One where friends got into a car after a party at Kendall Jenner’s on July 12th, 2020. And soon after, one person had bullet wounds and the others seemed to have different stories of what occurred. While the information on the who, what, when and where continued to change, one thing remained constant. A good portion of the world, especially the hip-hop community was attached to the outcome.

Lanez’s name alone would be enough for this case to become social media fodder. But considering the victim of the shooting was Megan Pete, aka Megan Thee Stallion, the Twittersphere was set ablaze almost immediately after the shooting hit the public. For a few days after the shooting, it seemed to be silent on the end of the artists, with neither Lanez or Megan making any public pronouncements about the event. The only details at the time were that Lanez had been arrested on concealed weapon charges. And, that Megan had suffered some form of injury from “stepping on glass.”

That was until July 15th, 2020. In a post that has since been deleted, Megan the Stallion went on Instagram in a live video. She indicated that she had been shot in the night in question. Though who had put the bullets into her foot continued to be a mystery. Details of what led up to the shooting continued to be vague, and speculation and conspiracy theories abounded. The social media storm swirled into a tsunami a little more than a month later, when Megan broke her silence. She pointed her finger at her alleged shooter: Tory Lanez.

In the video about the incident, Megan stated that she initially withheld information from the police about the shooting. She feared for the life of herself and the people in the car – including Tory Lanez. With the murder of George Floyd having been replayed in 4K for the two months prior to the shooting, Megan said that it was with that motivation that she kept the information from police.

“The police was literally killing people, for no motherf—ing reason, you think I’m about to tell the police that we, us Black people, got a gun in the car?”

Tory Lanez Has Referenced The Situation In His Music

While social media, fans, and the general public seem to continue to be torn, taking sides, and hurling accusations as to whether Megan was lying for clout, or whether Lanez is a violent, over-the-top musician with a Napoleon complex – one thing remains clear.

As of December 23, 2022, Lanez was found guilty of all charges brought against him. He will continue to be held in LA County Jail without bail until sentencing. Recent reports allege that Lanez’s legal team may request an entirely new trial. In his most recent sentencing appearance in late February, the gag order originally placed on Lanez was lifted. This means that for the first time in years, Lanez will be able to publicly speak on the case.

Not to say that Tory Lanez wasn’t speaking on the case before the gag order. In his most recent album Daystar, there are plenty of references to the alleged shooting. Including lyrics alluding that Megan was lying on the incident for clout. What clout he refers to, considering Megan Thee Stallion’s streams, fans, and social media following far surpasses Lanez’s, is unclear.

With the gag order lifted, we may see more from Lanez on his side of the story. And if a new trial is granted, this situation could drag out even farther. Until then, Lanez will remain in the custody of Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Tory Lanez Hires Casey Anthony’s Former Defense Lawyer

by

Tory Lanez’s court battles continue as he hired a powerhouse defense lawyer and legal team for his appeal. After authorities found him guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, he fired his original attorneys. Now, he’s hired Jose Baez, who famously and successfully represented Casey Anthony when she was accused of murdering her daughter.

According to TMZ reports, sources close to the artist’s representatives said Baez will work with attorneys David Kenner and Matthew Barhoma. Moreover, these two new members of his team also have their fair share of experience. Kenner represented Suge Knight and got him probation on a robbery charge and also worked with him on his manslaughter case. In addition, Kenner also beat a murder case for Snoop Dogg around the same time he represented Knight in the ’90s.

Also, Baez worked for Aaron Hernandez in his high-profile case. Before the football player took his own life, the attorney fought for an appeal of his conviction in the murder of Odin Lloyd. Prior to this case, he helped Hernandez beat a double murder case and represented many celebrities.

Still, all eyes are now set on Tory Lanez’s future. Recently, Kenner requested to a judge to postpone Lanez’s sentencing so he can catch up with the trial’s court transcripts. If he catches up, he will be able to prepare his appeal more effectively. Later, the judge granted said request, and the rapper’s sentencing is now set for February 28th. Moreover, he’s facing 22 years in prison and potential deportation to Canada.

Even with all this drama surrounding the case, the people affected by it are starting to heal. Moreover, Lanez’s family recently said that they “forgave [Megan Thee Stallion] a long time ago.” In addition, he spoke on trying to stay away from negative energy and not continuing to spread hate. Still, he said that they will not “back down from the machine.”

However, what do you think about Tory Lanez hiring powerhouse defense lawyers for his appeal? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH with more updates on the Tory Lanez saga.

Tory Lanez Song, “The Color Violet” Enters Billboard Hot 100

by

Tory Lanez is one of the most controversial artists in the world right now. On December 23, he was found guilty for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.

However, it seems as though the “Say It” artist is still receiving plenty of streams from behind bars.

On Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart dated for the week of January 14, 2023, one of the Canadian artist’s singles, “The Color Violet,” makes a new appearance at #87. Furthermore, Lanez himself appears on the Billboard Global 200 chart for artists, at #122 there.

The 30-year-old dropped “The Color Violet” in 2021, as the fourth track off of his sixth studio album, Alone At Prom. The project features distinct ’80s-inspired production.

Of course, this news comes just a few weeks after Lanez’s guilty verdict in the Megan Thee Stallion trial. The jury is responsible for declaring him guilty of all three charges against him. This includes carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, assault with a semiautomatic handgun and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

However, new reports indicate that the Chixtape rapper has fired his attorney. He’s hiring Suge Knight’s former lawyer, David Kenner, as his replacement.

“Kenner is a longtime criminal defense attorney whose clients include former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. Anyone with actual experience in criminal law (not all lawyers) will tell you he’s joining the case a bit late: Before trial would have been better,” says legal reporter Meghann Cuniff in a tweet.

Earlier today, TMZ began circulating photos of the “Savage” rapper’s injured foot from the shooting. The set of photos also includes x-rays of her injury, as well as images of a bloody suitcase in the backseat of the vehicle where the incident occurred.

The sentencing was originally set to take place soon, on January 27. However, the hiring of his new attorney may cause a delay now. The Toronto native faces up to 22 years in years in prison.

What are your thoughts on “The Color Violet” cracking the Billboard Hot 100? Comment below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates and stories in music and pop culture.
