There comes a time in most of our lives when we say, ‘Enough is enough.’ For legendary UGK rapper, Bun B, that time is now. As most of y’all know, rapper Megan Thee Stallion (25) was reportedly shot in her feet by her then boyfriend/rapper, Torey Lanez (28). The incident went down in July in Los Angeles, CA; but it wasn’t until a few days ago that Megan publicly confirmed who shot her. Now that the cat’s outta the bag, Bun B. has much to say about the celebs who are choosing to remain silent on the matter.
Megan Calls Out Torey Lanez:
In a recent Instagram Live video, Megan was fed up with Torey Lanez’s camp reportedly lying about the shooting. “You shot me,” she said, speaking directly about Lanez in her video. “And you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying… Stop lying. Why lie? I don’t understand.”
Many Celebs Remained Silent:
Although celebrities like Halle Berry, Michael B. Jordan, and J.R. Smith spoke out in defense of Megan, many more celebs have gone radio silent. That includes Louisiana native, Lil’ Boosie, who’s trending on social media for refusing to weigh in on the shooting during a new interview. Boosie says he is cool with both Megan and Torey Lanez. Therefore, he did not want to speak ill will toward either of them. However, many fans felt that he should speak his mind…just as he did when he spoke about Dwayne Wade’s transgender daughter.
Bun B Goes Off About Megan, Torey, And Black Women
Bun B. wholeheartedly disagrees with the silent celebs. He spoke on Instagram Live to stand up for his fellow Houston rapper, Megan, and he made some solid points, below are just a few (video below):
Bun B- “I tried to be impartial and cool about this, and not get in it….man, but f**k that man. Torey Lanez, I’m from Houston and if somebody would’ve done something to Megan in this city, man we woulda rolled. …Megan in L.A. by herself. … She ain’t got a momma no more, her momma’s gone; her daddy’s gone, her grandmother’s gone. All the people that loved and cared about her unconditionally, that looked out for her and would have protected her, ain’t there. … So as an OG in Houston, I’m standing up!
Torey Lanez did some ho a$$ s**t…period! … If the man on drugs, get him some g**damn rehab, if he has mental health issues, get him some therapy, but you NOT gon’ just gon’ sit here and shoot this girl, and we not say nothing!” … Anytime a man hurts a woman…that ain’t love, that’s obsession.”

Bun be says the reason why many aren’t standing up for Megan is because she’s a Black woman:
“God bless our Black women, because Black women be knowing [that] Black men are in the wrong, and they still stand up for us. Why? Because they know what White people do to Black MEN.
This is why Black women 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 when they’ve done something wrong. And Black women bite their tongue behind the s**t that we do…they’ve done it for centuries. They [Black women] put themselves in front of us constantly!”
Bun B then went on to give examples of how all throughout the segregation era, up to present day, “Black women are on the front line” for Black men.
Welp, can’t argue with the brotha on this one….like we said, Bun B. made some solid points. Hopefully, Megan Thee Stallion hasn’t been permanently scarred psychologically from this shooting incident. As far as Torey Lanez, the case is still ongoing, so we’ll have to sit back and see how this plays out for the 5’3″ Canadian rap star.
