    Drake is facing backlash for his continued support of Tory Lanez, Megan Thee Stallion's shooter.

    Last year, Tory was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan in her feet at a party in the summer of 2020.

    "Not only did I survive being shot by someone I trusted and considered a close friend, but I overcame the public humiliation of having my name and reputation dragged through the mud by that individual for the world to see," Megan said in a statement following Tory's conviction. 

    Although Tory and Drake once feuded in the 2010s, Drake supported Tory for some time before his conviction. In his 2022 song "Circo Loco" with 21 Savage, he implied that Megan had lied about the shooting, rapping, "This bitch lie 'bout gettin' shots, but she still a stallion."

    "Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot," Megan tweeted about the lyrics at the time — and 21 has since inexplicably tried to claim that the lyrics weren't actually about Megan. 

    Drake further made jabs at Megan on tour and "liked" Tory's statement where he denied responsibility after his sentencing.

    In Megan's triumphant song "Hiss," released earlier this year, she appeared to respond to Drake, rapping, "Say he a player, but he in his feelings."

    The line "These niggas hate on BBLs and be walkin' 'round with the same scars" has also been speculated to be a diss at Drake.

    Drake then decided to double down yesterday, posting a picture of Tory on his Instagram story along with the caption, "3 you."

    People subsequently took to Twitter to call out Drake for the post:

    All Drake did was prove Meg right! Lmao.

    Of course, Drake isn't the only rapper to have made headlines for his persistent claims that Megan lied about being shot — last month, Nicki Minaj went into a spiral on X, formerly Twitter, after also being alluded to on "Hiss."
