Drake is known for his ability to cause controversy with his lyrics. Following the release of "Her Loss," a collaboration album with 21 Savage, the rapper appears to be referring to Megan Thee Stallion and the assault she claims was made by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez.
In 2020, Lanez allegedly shot Megan in the leg after she tried to drive away during an argument. She recounted the details of the incident in an April 2020 interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, accompanied by photos of her injuries, along with a report referring to "gunshot wounds" and bullet fragments in the rapper's leg. .
In the song "Circo Loco", Drake says: "This bitch lie 'bout getting shots but she still a stallion." The text appears to have a double meaning and refers to the cosmetic injections and the assault that Megan claims. The fact that he used stallion (a term used for a pretty, somewhat aggressive girl) convinced people that Drake was referring to Megan Thee Stallion and the conflict with Tory Lanez.
Megan reacted harshly saying "since when the hell is it cool to make fun of women getting shot?" "And when the facts come out, remember all your favorite rappers who defended a person who shot a woman," she tweeted.
Alex Spiro, one of the attorneys representing Megan in her lawsuit against Lanez, told Page Six: "Despite the overwhelming evidence that Megan was a victim of gun violence, the ignorant continue to support her attacker."
Lanez hasn't spoken about Drake's song either — likely because a court ruled in February 2021 that he's not allowed to speak publicly about the matter. He has denied the claims. The trial in this case will start in December.
