Megan Thee Stallion Responds to False Report in Shooting Case

Megan Thee Stallion has responded to a false report that Tory Lanez’s DNA wasn’t found on a weapon in the ongoing shooting case.

On Wednesday (Feb. 23), before Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s preliminary hearing in connection to the July 2020 shooting incident was supposed to start, DJ Akademiks tweeted at 11:43 a.m. EST a false report about the case, which you can read below.

The tweet was subsequently deleted but not before it went viral across social media and several other gossip websites reporting the false news as a fact.

In truth, when Ak tweeted out the false information, the hearing didn’t even start as it was scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m EST/9:30 a.m. PST.

Megan caught wind of the tweet and jumped on her Instagram Story to blast DJ Akademiks and other media outlets for reporting a false narrative.

“Court ain’t even started so why yall ready to start lying,” she wrote in one post.

“Yall got breaking news 15 minutes before court started and nobody has even been called in yet?? Yall tryna win a social media campaign this is MY REAL LIFE!” she continued in another post. “Yall tryna get retweet’s SPREADING FALSE NARRATIVES! @iamakademiks Why are you lying? What did you gain?”

Megan finished her response by addressing the gossip blogs and threatening possible legal action.

“I know some of yall blogs on payroll but please dont get sued trying to create a hate campaign. Be a real journalist and post FACTS[.] And to my haters..keep making yourself look stupid idc.”

According to Eileen Reslen, a reporter for Page Six, today’s preliminary hearing was postponed until April 5.
