Megan Thee Stallion says she’s “hurt and traumatized” as she recovers from serious injuries she suffered last weekend. The rapper said on Wednesday that she suffered gunshot wounds and had to undergo surgery to remove the bullets following an incident with Tory Lanez.
“Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own,” Megan tweeted on Friday. “It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized.”
