Bun B speaks out in support of Megan Thee Stallion
“If somebody would’ve done something to Megan in this city, we would’ve rolled,” the Houston legend said on Instagram Live.
On Friday (Aug. 21), Megan Thee Stallion revealed that it was Tory Lanez who shot her in her feet over a month ago. Now, fellow Houston native Bun B has spoken out in her support. The UGK legend took to Instagram Live on Monday (Aug. 24) to address Megan’s recent confession.
“Fu*k Tory Lanez,” Bun B began. “I’m from Houston and if somebody would’ve done something to Megan in this city, we would’ve rolled.”
“Megan in L.A. by herself,” he continued. “She ain’t got a mama no more; her mama’s gone. Her daddy’s gone. Her grandmother is gone. All the people that loved her and cared about her unconditionally — that looked out for her and would’ve protected her — ain’t there. So, as an O.G. in Houston, I’m standing up.”
Bun B further denounced Lanez and his supporters.
“I know Tory. I know his manager, I know all of ‘em. Fu*k all that, though,” he continued. “If the man on drugs, get him some goddamn rehab. If the man got mental health issues, get him some therapy. But he’s not just gon’ sit here and shoot this girl, and we not say nothin.”
“This is not real ni**a sh*t,” Bun added. “Anytime a man hurts a woman, that’s obsession. That ain’t love.”
The Trill OG crafter also spoke about Megan’s decision to protect Lanez by waiting until now to name him as her shooter. During her Instagram Live session, Megan confessed she didn’t tell cops that Lanez had shot her, for fear that dealing with police could endanger Lanez’s life.
“This is why Black woman are so hesitant to speak against Black men, because Black women know how the legal system will treat Black men, they know how white America will treat Black men,” Bun B said.
“… Nobody’s talking about [the shooting] because it’s a Black woman. We love Megan; we brag about Megan, [but] nobody wanna talk about it when she gets shot,” he added. “We got memes; we got jokes. Fu*k that.”
