Megan Thee Stallion is currently facing a whirlwind of fame as she struggles to balance huge success and acclaim with demeaning or unfortunate circumstances. Some are beyond most people’s control, such as the rescheduled game in Dallas for the NBA Finals. But others are far more sinister in nature, such as an alleged sex tape of her that surfaced online but was reportedly generated by artificial intelligence, according to social media discussions. Despite existing content and unsubstantiated online chatter, the Houston congresswoman took to Twitter on Saturday (June 8) to blast these alleged attempts to damage her image.
“It’s so disgusting that you go to such lengths to hurt me when you see me winning,” Megan Thee Stalling wrote to a mystery opponent on the social media platform. “You guys are so over the top, fake a** shit. Just know today is the last day you hang out with me and I mean it.” Plus, she just remixed “Sunday Service” with Latto and Flo Milli, so At least she got some praise and earned the ruckus to counter the other side of the online conversation.
Megan Thee Stallion appears to slam fake AI sex tape leak claims
Elsewhere, though, Megan Thee Stallion will likely address at least some of that reception, other struggles, and all of her highs and lows on her upcoming album Megan . This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated hip-hop albums this summer and will also be her first full-length solo work since 2022’s “Traumanize.” A lot has happened in Tina Snow’s life since then, and we’re sure this will make for a very engaging and well-rounded album experience. All we can hope is that her efforts speak louder than the voices of her overzealous, disrespectful, or downright toxic detractors.
The fact that Megan Thee Stallion has a big show to contend with, among other canceled or postponed shows, is a morale booster. That’s a lot of momentum and hype, and if the album doesn’t deliver, there’s a lot of risk of collapse. But our suspicions were more about public opinion and rhetoric than Meg’s talent or potential. Hopefully she can get back at those who don’t like her for the wrong reasons with some amazing art.
