'Just like the British tabloids couldn’t stop trolling Markle, it seems that everything Megan Thee Stallion does comes with an added level of scrutiny from the hip-hop blogosphere,' MrErnestOwens writes.
in 2020, there’s been an obscene amount of disinformation spread by highly followed social media personalities and blog sites about the ongoing court battle. From fixating on Megan’s sex life to attempting to discredit any particular detail of her account, such bloggers have pulled out all the stops in an attempt to sensationalize this traumatic event—to devastating, reckless effect.
“I know some of yall blogs on payroll but please dont get sued trying to create a hate campaign. Be a real journalist and post FACTS,” Megan Thee Stallion subsequently posted when her notifications began to blow up following this blatant spread of misinformation. Just like with DJ Akademiks, the false information read as an attempt to once again discredit Megan and to spur Lanez’s fans into cyberbullying her.
Meanwhile, other blogs began disseminating racy rumors about Megan’s sex life. Daily Loud, a popular online hip-hop platform,of Lanez’s attorney accusing Megan of having sex with his client, basketball player Ben Simmons, and rapper DaBaby—as if any of it was relevant or affected her claims of being shot. To make matters worse, Daily Loud added a stunned-face emoji alongside its caption in a lame attempt to stir the pot.
What these online platforms have done is exploit her traumatic experience for traffic and engagement. For every salacious post, there’s dozens of sexist, misogynist, and downright violent insults hurled at Megan and women like her. And it’s in times like these where you’re reminded why female victims struggle to come forward in the first place.#SayHerName
