Earlier this week, the courtroom became a stage for a drama that many of us thought was over. Megan Thee Stallion, our fiery queen of the rap game, stood before a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge seeking a restraining order against Tory Lanez, the man who infamously shot her in the foot back in 2020. Can you believe it’s been years, and we’re still grappling with the fallout? I mean, what is it with our culture where trauma follows someone around like an unwanted puppy?
Megan’s emotional testimony laid bare her ongoing fears about her safety, and one has to wonder—at what point do we as a society take a stand for those who’ve already been through hell? The vibe in the courtroom was heavy, with Meg expressing that even though Lanez is behind bars, his presence still looms large over her life. It’s like living with a ghost that just won’t check out of the haunted hotel of your mind… You can almost hear the weary sighs of her supporters and critics alike. While some rejoice in her newfound sense of distance, others still seem stuck in the muck of doubt, questioning her motives like they’re judging the last season of a reality show—who’s aligning with who?
Then there’s DJ Akademiks, who, bless his heart, decided to give his two cents as if he were the expert on emotional trauma while also proclaiming that he thinks it’s damaging her career. If we’re counting the ways that men often misjudge women’s experiences, well, we might as well start a bingo card! So, grab your popcorn; we’re diving deep into a complex narrative that weaves together bravery, fear, and perhaps a little too much unsolicited advice. Stay tuned, because this isn’t just another courtroom tale; it’s a pulse on how we view strength, victimhood, and the battles that linger on long after the gunshots have faded…
Earlier this week, Megan Thee Stallion appeared in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where she was granted a restraining order against Tory Lanez. For those who don’t recall, Lanez shot Meg in the foot back in 2020 and was later handed a 10-year prison sentence for it. He will be eligible for parole in September 2029. Meg gave an emotional testimony, revealing she still fears for her safety, and worries that things will only worsen.
“Even from behind bars, he still is showing that he’s an angry person, and I’m scared that even when he gets out of jail, he’s going to still be upset with me,” she said in part. “He keeps showing me that he can get to me like he won’t give me a day of peace. And I feel like, for a fact, when he gets out of jail, it’s going to get worse.” Meg’s testimony and restraining order have earned mixed reactions. Most of her supporters are glad that she’s been provided with a sense of safety. Others continue to question her.

This includes DJ Akademiks, who spoke on the matter during a recent stream and claimed that this wasn’t the best move for her career. “I really feel like Meg is doing some of the most horrific things for her career,” he explained. “I’m literally just sitting here and watching Meg torch her own career where she’s saying things or constantly trying to recreate this like ‘victim’ aura that I don’t think people are going for.”
“She’s saying she fears Tory is going to shoot her again,” he also added. “And I personally don’t think that’s what it is. I think Meg is tired of criticism. I think she wants to not be reminded of this incident, okay? […] But everything she’s doing constantly reminds us and makes us feel like she was a liar.”
