Drake is underfire after posting Tory Lanez on his Instagram Story Monday (Feb. 26). The For All The Dogs rapper posted a photo of Lanez with the caption, “3 you.”

Megan Thee Stallion Fans Respond To Drake’s Instagram Story

Megan Thee Stallion supporters caught wind of the Instagram post and immediately attacked Drake for it.

“A few years ago Drake was dissing Tory Lanez. A couple years ago Tory Lanez was talking about how he sent Drake records he wanted a feature on a Drake ain’t respond. But this n—- shot a woman and got convicted, and all of a sudden, he’s Drake’s bottom bitch. K,” one Megan supporter wrote.

“Of all the actual social causes Drake has stayed silent on, defending Tory Lanez is a weird hill to die on.Again I say this: A lot of women are too concerned with the women their man is following & not concerned enough about the men their man is following,” another fan wrote.

“Drake’s been so vocal about his disdain for tory lanez and now this. but when we say men unite solely to perpetuate the abuse of women we’re wrong,” another fan responded to the Instagram Story.

Shortly after Lanez’s conviction, he recorded a message to his fans on Instagram.

“Ayo Umbrellas, what’s good, I’m talking to you live from prison right now,” he said. “Man. I’m just happy to get out of that county jail. They was hating on a young fly, you heard? Had me on 24-hour lockdown. Half-sized cell by myself. No windows, no mirrors. Ain’t even seen himself in a whole year, yo.”

He continued: “But with all them disadvantages against me, my head is always been held high, man. And I want y’all to know that I’m in great spirits.”

Lanez is to serve his 10-year sentence in prison after his bail motion was denied back in September. He was convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.

Shannon Sharpe: 8 Celebs We Want To See On 'Club Shay Shay'

• Jay-Z

  Share

  Jay-Z is possibly gearing up for his 14th studio album, and Club Shay Shay could be the couch where he makes the announcement. If the Brooklyn native were to release an album, it would follow his Grammy-nominated LP 4:44, which dropped in 2017. He said he isn't dismissing the idea of doing an album, so it's still possible. While Jay doesn't do interviews, he shared several gems about his upbringing, Roc Nation, and his records with Gayle King late last year, so being open won't be a problem for the rap legend.

• Drake

  Share

  Drake is another rap star who doesn't do sit-down interviews often, but it always goes viral when he does. Drake released For All The Dogs: Scary Hours Edition last year, and while Universal Music Group (which Drake is an artist signed under) has pulled several of his songs from TikTok, it would be interesting to see what are Drake's views on the topic. The Toronto rapper has also had some viral moments recently, such as an alleged NSFW video, taking shots at the Grammys, and always planting seeds about retirement. While he's currently on tour, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Sharpe to hit Drake up after he's back from the road.

• Kanye

  Share

  If there is anyone on this list who will give him views similar to Katt Williams's, it's Kanye. The Chicago native is always in the headlines because of his controversial statements. On the music side, he just dropped an album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, on Feb. 9. The two are also expected to headline Rolling Loud in March, and knowing Ye something viral is bound to happen.
• Cardi B

  Share

  Fans have been desperately waiting for a sophomore album from Cardi but still have not heard any official announcement. It would be interesting to have the Bronx native spill the title or release date on Club Shay Shay. Her last album, Invasion of Privacy, dropped in 2017. Besides music, fans would be interested to know about her and Offset's relationship and what she's up to next.

• Megan Thee Stallion

  Share

  Megan Thee Stallion is entertaining on her own, but we believe she and Sharpe can have a viral episode on their hands if she takes a seat on his brown leather couch. The rapper is gearing up for a new album and tour this summer, so she could give the former NFL star some inside scoop. Besides music, fans want to know about her dating life, her ongoing beef with Nicki Minaj, and how she's coping amid Tory Lanez's conviction. Plus, Sharpe already went viral mentioning how attractive he thinks she is, so at this point, he owes her a guest slot.

• Nicki Minaj

  Share

  Nicki is not scared to say what's on her mind. The rap star currently has beef with Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, so maybe Sharpe can persuade her to bury the hatchet or get to the root of the feuds. The Queens native just dropped her fifth studio album so we most likely won't be getting any new music but she might be able to give up some tour secrets. Nicki is about to embark on her Pink Friday 2 tour in March so Sharpe would need to give the rapper a call quickly.
• Diddy

  Share

  Diddy has not had a formal interview about the lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and harassment in the past. Sharpe would be able to let the rap mogul explain his side of the allegations. It would be interesting to find out what Diddy has been up to as he has maintained a low profile online. Sharpe can also question the Bad Boy Records founder about how the allegations have impacted his relationship with Yung Miami, his family, and more.

• 50 Cent

  Share

  50 is not one to hold back, and after watching Kat Williams's interview, Sharpe does not mind his guests starting controversies. 50 has had beef with over 10 celebs so him talking about the past would be an interesting topic. He also uses social media to talk about his opinion -- which is often controversial -- on popular pop culture moments. On the business side, the rapper-turned-mogul always has a new project going on so he can speak about what he has coming up next in the Power universe.
