Megan Thee Stallion recently opened up about the challenges she faced following the traumatic incident in 2020 when she was shot by Tory Lanez. In a candid interview with Women's Health, the hip-hop star revealed the emotional toll of the assault and the subsequent backlash she endured.
Describing her struggle to cope with the aftermath of the shooting, Megan shared how she felt pressured to maintain a facade of strength despite the trauma she experienced. She expressed frustration at the expectations placed on her as a Black woman, noting that she was often expected to endure hardships without showing vulnerability.
Following Lanez's conviction on three felonies related to the shooting, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, Megan faced criticism and doubt from both fans and peers. The negative response took a toll on her mental health, leading to a period of severe depression.
Recounting her struggles to return to music in the wake of the backlash, Megan revealed the emotional turmoil she faced before performances. Despite her inner turmoil, she felt compelled to fulfill her obligations to her fans, even when it meant hiding her true feelings.
Eventually, Megan sought help from a therapist and began to confront her feelings of depression. Through therapy, she was able to acknowledge her emotional state and work towards healing.
Looking ahead, Megan is preparing to release her highly anticipated third album and embark on a tour later this year. She expressed excitement at the prospect of sharing new music with her fans and creating a memorable experience for her supporters.
In a recent interview, Megan shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming Hot Girl Summer tour, emphasizing her desire to provide her fans with an unforgettable live performance. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to connect with her audience and showcase her artistry.
