Soulja Boy has defended and 50 Cent has apologized to fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion after Tory Lanez was found guilty last month of shooting the "Savage" hit-maker in 2020.
In a Wednesday interview with radio host Big Boy, 50 Cent accepted the guilty verdict and explained why he didn't believe Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, before the trial. The "Candy Shop" performer previously shared multiple tweets and memes mocking and doubting the "Traumazine" artist's allegations against Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson.
On Dec. 23, a Los Angeles jury found that Canadian rapper Lanez fired a gun at Megan Thee Stallion's feet in a fit of rage after attending a party in the Hollywood Hills. After reporting Lanez to police and speaking up about the incident on social media, Megan Thee Stallion suffered a wave of harassment and misogynoir from the hip-hop community and beyond.
