Soulja Boyis speaking out in support ofMegan Thee StallionafterTory Lanezwasfound guilty of shooting her in July 2020during a trial held last month.
During anInstagram Livestreamed earlier this week and shared via social media, the “Crank That” rapper slammed Lanez for the crime and criticized the rap community at-large for not showing support for the “Body” rapper throughout the recent trial.
“Y’all n—-s out here shooting bitches now?” said Soulja Boy, 32, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way. “And ain’t nobody saying nothing? I’m the only n—- in the whole rap game that’s going to say something? Okay, cool. Well, f— you, Tory Lanez, you a bitch.”
Leading up to the trial, several rappers spoke publicly in support of Lanez, 30, or accused Megan of lying about the incident. OnDrakeand21 Savage’s recent song “Circo Loco,” the 36-year-old “Hotline Bling” performer appeared to reference the situation andimply that she made the shooting up.
“This bitch lie ‘bout getting shots / But she still a stallion,” Drake raps on the track. “She don’t even get the joke / But she still smiling.”
Elsewhere in his IG Live, Soulja Boy spoke out against such rappers. “Y’all straight sat there, watched that man shoot a bitch, and y’all ain’t say s—,” he said. “Y’all n—-s lame as f—. Y’all n—-s ain’t say s—. Y’all let that n—- just shoot that bitch. F— Tory Lanez.”
In December, a juryconvicted Lanez on all three charges— assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
