The rapper questioned why the backlash seems so extreme, telling fans, “Like, don’t it seem a little weird like how overwhelming a lot of Megan Thee Stallion hate seem? Like, it don’t seem right, do it?” She went on to explain that some of the accounts spreading negativity are fake or being paid to stir the pot. “It’s not, because people are getting paid to do this. These are bots, these are paid people. Like, if you scroll through some of these people’s tweets, it be a man that’s been tweeting about sports for eight years. Now all of a sudden, he just hate Megan Thee Stallion. These people are getting paid to do this. Stop listening to them. B—h, they time up.”

Megan made it clear that she’s unbothered and focused on her own happiness, saying, “What is there even to hate on? I don’t be doing that. I’ll be in the house with my man [Klay Thompson], with my dogs, watching anime, at the studio.”

Her latest single, “Lover Girl,” highlights that softer side of her life. On the song, she raps, “I had to lock in when I found out he could handle me (Yeah)/ Some n—as call me extra (OK), my n—a call me precious (Yeah)/ This s–t be easy when you find somebody on your level (Come on)/ My n—a say, ‘My lady,’ he never say, ‘My b—h.’”
