Megan Thee Stallion has taken a firm stand against what she claims are coordinated online attacks fueled by paid bots. During a livestream over the weekend, the Houston-based rapper expressed her frustration over the overwhelming negativity directed at her. According to footage captured by Live Bitez, she believes these targeted assaults are orchestrated by individuals getting compensated to spread hate.
In her impassioned address, Megan stated, “When I do peep online and see what y’all doing, I feel like y’all get so easily riled up and easily discouraged when y’all know people get paid to talk crazy about me.” She questioned the intensity of the online vitriol, suggesting that it seems orchestrated and unnatural. “Don’t it seem a little weird like how overwhelming a lot of Megan Thee Stallion hate seem? Like, it don’t seem right, do it?” she added.
Megan pointed out specific behaviors she found suspicious, such as long-time sports commentators suddenly posting negative comments about her. “These are bots, these are paid people,” she claimed. The rapper urged her fans to disregard the negativity from these sources, stating, “Stop listening to them. B*tch, they time up.”
The hostility directed towards her, according to Megan, goes beyond mere criticism. She questioned what there is to hate, sharing insights into her personal life: “I don’t be doing that. I’ll be in the house with my man, with my dogs, watching anime, at the studio.” Her comments suggest that detractors may also take issue with her lifestyle choices.
To conclude her message, Megan encouraged her fans, affectionately referred to as “Hotties,” to ignore unwarranted criticism. She emphasized the importance of responding only when necessary, saying, “When I give y’all something to cry about, cry about it, alright? Then we can start crying. I ain’t gave y’all nothing to cry about yet. Fight back when it’s a reason to fight.”
Megan’s latest single, “Lover Girl,” is a sultry track inspired by her current boyfriend, NBA player Klay Thompson. In the song, she raps about their relationship, expressing themes of love and admiration. The lyrics showcase her confidence and commitment, noting, “Your n**** fantasy, my man reality / I had to lock in when I found out he could handle me.”
As the conversation surrounding online harassment continues to evolve, Megan Thee Stallion’s bold stance highlights the significant impact of social media dynamics on public figures. Her call to action for fans to remain vigilant against negativity resonates in an era where online discourse can significantly influence public perception.
