Outta Pocket? Watch How Megan Thee Stallion Reacts To Group Shouting “Free Tory Lanez” At Her

Whew! The Umbrellas pulled up on Megan Thee Stallion with a “Free Tory Lanez” picket line. A viral video shows a small group ofobviousfans chanting for the freedom of the singer.

A lil’ refresher on Tory. He’s currently serving a 10-year sentence for multiple charges, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm related to Megan being shot in July 2020. A judge sentenced him last August.

His team’s efforts to appeal the conviction appear to have stalled in court as of February. The court hearing garnered support for the singer from his fans and some A-listers, including Drake.

Here’s How Megan Thee Stallion Reacted To “Free Tory Lanez” Harassment

It’s unclear how the group came to know Megan’s location, but the rapper was in London during the incident, according to an X trending summary. However, as she exited an establishment, the Umbrella fanbase was waiting, chanting “Free Tory Lanez.”

As Thee Stallion walked out escorted by security and with her arm hooked with another woman’s. In her yellow crop top and shorts, she kept a neutral demeanor on her face. But when one of the people recording shouted near her ear, she scrunched up her face and brought her hand up to her nose in a “stank” motion.

The Houston Hottie hasn’t addressed this resurfaced clip on her social media. However, she has previously spoken about the continued harassment and mentions by Tory Lanez’s supporters. It began when she first named Tory as her shooter in 2020and continued throughout his highly publicized trial,his conviction in 2022, and hissentencing.

In her track ‘Hiss,’ she redirected the Umbrellas back to their star, suggesting fans stop coming at her and go support him while he’s incarcerated.

“I don’t give a **** who think what, you **** is typin’ for nothin.’ On the internet typin’ this **** to me? Write him a letter or something,'” Megan rapped in track.

Meanwhile, Tory Lanez has maintained that he did not shoot Megan. In a statement last year, he claimed that he would not “apologize for something [he] did not do.”
