What Did Chris Brown Say About the Megan Thee Stallion-Tory Lanez Case?

Rapper-songwriter-singer Megan Thee Stallion is one of the most influential and popular music artists in the industry. Her singles, including Hot Girl Summer, Cash Shit, and more, saw her mainstream breakthrough in 2019. Her Savage Remix featuring Beyoncé earned her two Grammy Awards, while her collaboration with Cardi B for WAP became her first No. 1 song on the Billboard Global 200.

The artist recently released her documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, which recounts her journey to stardom and includes a lot of ups and downs, success, and much grief. Chris Brown, who is regarded as one of the music geniuses in the industry, also found himself in the middle of a controversy that included Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez, but the fans have not appreciated his views.

Chris Brown’s comments about the Tory Lanez-Megan Thee Stallion case resurface online

Megan Thee Stallion released her highly anticipated documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, which goes on to highlight the animosity she faced from people in the industry. A lot of old videos, interviews, and TikTok videos were shown throughout the documentary for fans to understand the situation Stallion had been in.

One such interview was of Chris Brown, who, during a video stream with Adin Ross, said, ‘Free Tory Lanez’. This comes after Stallion accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot after a drunken argument. Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison and was charged with felony negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

Brown in his stream said,

Tory had the craziest one, bro. Crazy Bro. He went crazy. Free my boy, man. Free Tory in the f**king chat, bro. Free Tory. He’s a solid dude; I f**k with Tory.

These comments did not sit right with the fans back then, and now that the clip of the video was shared in Stallion’s documentary, fans are still not pleased. The comments from Brown do not settle with ease with fans because of his troubled history with the law. Brown had assaulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammys.

The Guardian reports that the singer has a long history of running into the law, including having a meltdown and smashing a glass window backstage at Good Morning America in 2011. Another incident includes a restraining order filed in 2017 by his ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran, his ex-manager Michael M. Guirguis suing him in 2016, and more.

Stallion’s documentary goes on to highlight that she was facing a lot of hate from the people of the industry, especially after she opened up about being shot in the foot by Lanez. According to the Huffington Post, Thee Stallion has sued Milagro Gramz, blogger and YouTuber, for alleged cyberstalking and circulating lies about the criminal case involving Lanez.

The artist, who is regarded as one of the best in the business, not only became a topic of every discussion but also was heavily trolled and harassed online, which led to her feeling anxious and nervous about her safety. She recalled in the documentary about having suicidal thoughts over the comments she received online. (Via The Cut)

I would rather not live through this than have to live with this.

Stallion spent one month at a mental health retreat trying to heal from the incident that left her scared and scarred. In an interview with THR, director Nneka Onuorah shared,

I think they’re going to see that she’s truly just like everybody else. And it’s such a beautiful thing to watch. I am so happy for people to see that person that I actually know. I earned her trust because I gave her my time and effort. She saw that I wasn’t there for the Megan Thee Stallion. I was very direct about it.

The director also noted that wherever they filmed, she was with Stallion and stayed with her through the process. The 112-minute-long documentary explores the vulnerable sides of tough and strong Stallion and goes on to share the struggles and pressures of success, mental health battles, and of course controversies.

The artist in her introduction to the documentary, says she is just grateful to have her fans as her real supporters.

Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
