SZA is talking out in help of Megan Thee Stallion amidst new allegations and accusations surrounding the rapper’s 2020 taking pictures. And whereas her phrases come at a great time, she appears to be one of many few saying one thing publicly—and that’s beginning to be an enormous, massive downside.
As observed by keen-eyed followers earlier this week, the “S.O.S.” singer left some phrases within the feedback part of a now-viral Instagram video that addressed current hypothesis that fellow rapper Tory Lanez wasn’t truly the one who shot Megan Thee Stallion all these years in the past. In it, the creator mentioned that as an alternative of coming to social media with the brand new claims of Lanez’s innocence, it needs to be delivered to the courts as an alternative.
Not too lengthy after, SZA shared her two cents, expressing her shock and disdain at individuals nonetheless spewing negativity in direction of Megan and those who’re nonetheless siding with Lanez in spite of everything this time—regardless of his responsible conviction.
“The density !!!!! I’m truly SO shocked on the quantity of ppl totally comfy bullying a girl that’s confirmed to be a sufferer of assault ??!” she wrote. “Like out loud the place different ppl can see you ?? Lmao u finna be silly OUTLOUD ?”
And whereas the “Snooze” singer obtained massive upped on-line for her phrases, it prompted many others to comprehend that she’s one of many only a few ladies artists who’ve publicly shared phrases of help for the “Greater In Texas” rapper. Within the quick aftermath of Lanez conviction in 2022, fellow Black ladies music stars like Janelle Monae, Cardi B, Monaleo, Child Tate, and Kehlani all publicly said that they’re on Megan’s aspect.
However since then—and particularly this month now that the trial is being rehashed—not too a lot of her different pals and/or collaborators are saying something, although Megan herself has been vocal in regards to the harassment and on-line bullying she’s been experiencing. Just about not one of the massive names like Victoria Monet, Glorilla, Normani, Kelly Rowland, Ciara have supplied specific, public phrases of help for the “Proper Now” rapper.
And whereas the aforementioned names might have very properly talked to Megan and expressed that they’d her again privately, everyone knows that saying one thing for the world to see and be aware of would hit so much tougher. By not doing so, they threat the court docket of public opinion and their respective fanbases turning on them over what seems to be like help for an abuser like Lanez and silence for victims. Additionally they threat jeopardizing their friendship with Megan.
And for what? As a result of the case is simply too messy? It’s too many variables and transferring components? They need to keep away from it? No matter their motive, it isn’t sufficient to be so loudly quiet throughout this time. If Megan is admittedly their homegirl, then extra of the homegirls have to be saying one thing publicly. In any case, quite a lot of high-profile males are clearly selecting to aspect with Lanez. You may’t be a “woman’s woman” or a girl who helps ladies and never get up when a girl is being wrongfully focused. It’s time for extra ladies within the music business to say what must be mentioned and cease protecting quiet.
