SZA Defends Megan Thee Stallion Amid Tory Lanez Shooting Controversy

In a recent social media post, R&B singer SZA has come to the defense of Megan Thee Stallion amid the ongoing legal battle between Megan and rapper Tory Lanez.

The controversy stems from the 2020 incident where Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan. However, Lanez and his legal team have continued to cast doubt on Megan's account of events, claiming they have new evidence that exonerates him.

In response to a video on Instagram that Lanez's team says pokes holes in Megan's story, SZA expressed her shock at the "amount of ppl fully comfortable bullying a woman that's proven to be a victim of assault." She condemned those who continue to harass and doubt Megan, saying "Lmao u finna be stupid OUTLOUD?"

Megan herself has grown increasingly frustrated with having to repeatedly relive the traumatic 2020 shooting incident. In her own social media posts, she has directly called out Lanez, saying "At what point are yall gonna stop making me have to re live being shot BY TORY !?" She also shut down Lanez's claims of new evidence, stating firmly "FACTS ARE FACTS, he did it, it was PROVEN IN COURT fuck the hate campaign on the internet TORY YOU SHOT ME !!"

The ongoing legal battle and public discourse around this case highlights the challenges victims of violence and assault often face, even after their assailants have been convicted. SZA's show of support for Megan is a powerful statement against the victim-blaming and harassment Megan continues to endure.

As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen whether Lanez will succeed in his efforts to overturn his conviction. But Megan can take solace in the fact that she has allies like SZA who are willing to publicly defend her against those who would seek to discredit her.
