An open letter in defense of Megan Thee Stallion comes after rapper Drake called out Megan on the song 'Circo Loco' in a reference to the 2020 shooting allegedly involving rapper Tory Lanez.
"You don't deserve any of this, Megan. You deserve to be heard, to be believed, and most importantly, to be safe," reads the letter."He is standin' up over the window shooting. And I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick. Like, 'cause I'm like, 'Oh, my God. If I take the wrong step, I don't know if he's gonna shoot something that's, like, super important.
As you’ve risen to the top, you’ve also had to endure a lot of obstacles along the way. In the face of triumph and tragedy alike, you always keep your head held high, maintain your poise, and push forward. However, while so many of us celebrate you for your strength and perseverance, it must be said that you have been treated in ways that no young woman–no person at all–should be treated.
There is no amount of power or prestige that can prevent a woman from becoming a victim of violence and there is no level of achievement that exempts women from our society’s complacency with that violence. Black women are also often fearful of what will happen to their assailant if they choose to involve the law–as you yourself were afraid to do–and are left unprotected by the system and the community alike. If someone as influential as you can be belittled and mocked as nothing but a liar for standing up for herself, that speaks a volume about what a woman who doesn’t have your resources or fame can expect to endure when she’s found herself in a similar position.
