Megan Thee Stallion recently opened up about her past interview with Gayle King, where questions about her relationship with Tory Lanez surfaced. This came during a time filled with intense scrutiny, especially after the July 2020 shooting incident that left many wondering about the nature of their relationship.

The Canadian rapper Tory Lanez who has been sentenced to 10 years for shooting fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez shot Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion in the feet during an argument between the pair after a party in 2020. He was found guilty on three gun-related charges in December and has been held in jail since

“Why is you asking me about f--king Tory?" Megan said in her Amazon Prime documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words which drops Oct 31st in the dock.

During the interview, Gayle King asked if Megan and Tory were involved romantically. This question raised eyebrows. Was it really necessary to know if their connection was sexual? Megan didn’t think so. She firmly pointed out, “That’s not what this is about. Even if I was,” This statement reflects a bigger issue: the focus on the personal lives of women, especially in the public eye.

The Grammy winner who shared that she indeed had sex with Tory "like once, maybe twice on a drunk night," she admitted to lying during the conversation to avoid discussing a topic that she felt was irrelevant. And when Megan initially responded that they were "not dating" but were "really close" friends who "hung out, like, every day," the TV personality pressed further.

Eight months later, Megan admitted that her answer was a lie during the shooting's trial, and she has since spoken out about how public backlash on the incident impacted her mentally.

"A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time," Megan in an April interview. "I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me."

For Megan, this wasn’t merely about defending her relationship status. It was about making it clear that the conversation should focus on the serious situation at hand: the shooting incident that took place. When you think about it, diverting attention to personal matters can overshadow the real issues. By emphasizing that the question was irrelevant, Megan highlighted the need to talk about violence and accountability instead.

It's a common theme in media to dig into personal lives, especially when it comes to famous women. Questions about relationships often take center stage, while the real concerns seem to fade into the background. This obsession can distort narratives and make it hard for people to focus on what truly matters. Megan’s response serves as a reminder that the world should prioritize the protection and respect of individuals over sensational gossip.

Megan's experience isn’t just her own. Many women face scrutiny and judgment regarding their relationships, especially in cases of violence. By speaking out, Megan encourages others to understand that they can rise above these challenges. The narrative should shift from personal relationships to the broader issues of respect, safety, and justice.

Megan Thee Stallion’s response to Gayle King was more than just a rejection of a personal inquiry; it was a statement about prioritizing what’s essential. In a world that often gets lost in gossip, her words remind us to focus on accountability and support for those affected by violence. It's a call to action, urging society to listen and learn rather than judge and distract.
