Megan Thee Stallion Slams Drake For His Lyrics Referencing Her Shooting On Circo Loco With 21 Savage
On Friday Morning at 12 Am Drake and 21 Salvage dropped their joint project and of course, Drake took some shots at some people including Megan Thee Stallion. On the single called Circo Loco.
“Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass Niggas! Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You niggas especially RAP NIGGAS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.”
Drake and 21 Savage’s highly anticipated joint project sent shockwaves through the industry when it dropped at midnight, but it wasn’t just the music that had people talking. One particular line in the song “Circo Loco” sparked immediate controversy, as fans and artists alike accused Drake of taking a shot at Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing legal battle with Tory Lanez.
In the track, Drake raps:
“This bitch lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion.”
The line appeared to reference Megan’s claims that Tory Lanez shot her in the foot in 2020, a case that has been highly publicized and debated. While some listeners argued that the lyric was merely wordplay, many fans and fellow artists saw it as a direct and unnecessary jab at Megan, who has repeatedly defended her account of the incident.
Megan Responds to the Lyric
Megan wasted no time addressing the controversy, taking to Twitter to call out not only Drake but the broader rap industry for mocking her trauma:
“Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass Niggas! Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot! You niggas, especially RAP NIGGAS, ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a Black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.”
She went on to call out those who try to discredit her, adding:
“And when the mf facts come out, remember all y’all hoe ass favorite rappers that stood behind a NIGGA that SHOT A FEMALE.”
Industry Reactions
The lyric quickly divided hip-hop fans and artists. Some supported Megan, arguing that Black women in the industry often face unwarranted scrutiny and ridicule. Others defended Drake, insisting that the bar was just a play on words and not an actual statement about the shooting case.
Fellow artists and public figures weighed in as well. Megan’s producer LilJuMadeDaBeat tweeted:
“I just wish one of these guys would say her name, so she can really expose them. These rap dudes are weird.”
Meanwhile, fans flooded social media, debating whether Drake was out of line or simply playing into the competitive and provocative nature of hip-hop.
Drake’s Silence
As the backlash grew, Drake remained silent, neither confirming nor denying that the lyric was about Megan. 21 Savage, who was also on the track, didn’t comment either, keeping the controversy solely focused on Drake’s words.
With Megan’s legal battle against Tory Lanez having already placed her at the center of hip-hop discourse, this latest moment only adds fuel to an ongoing debate about accountability in the industry.
The Bigger Picture
Beyond the direct shots fired in the song, this situation highlights a recurring issue in hip-hop—how female artists, particularly Black women, are treated within the culture. Megan has been vocal about the ways in which people have tried to discredit her since she accused Tory Lanez of shooting her, and this moment only reinforces how even the biggest names in music can perpetuate that narrative.
