With her debut album on Roc Nation, Good News, set to drop soon, Megan Thee Stallion has sparked serious fan interest with the announcement of the tracklist, which includes a song titled “Shots Fired.” Fans are convinced this track will deliver a scathing response to Tory Lanez, who is accused of shooting Megan in the feet after a July 12 incident in the Hollywood Hills.
High Expectations for “Shots Fired”
The album’s 17 tracks showcase several major collaborations, featuring artists like Beyoncé, DaBaby, SZA, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, and Young Thug. But it’s “Shots Fired” that has the internet buzzing, as fans believe it will address the heated incident that has dominated headlines for months.
A Look Back at the Incident
The shooting incident took place after a pool party in Hollywood when an argument reportedly escalated in a chauffeur-driven SUV, ultimately leading to Lanez’s arrest for felony possession of a concealed weapon. Megan was taken to the hospital, where doctors removed bullet fragments from her feet, and she initially stayed quiet about who was responsible. However, in an Instagram Live session weeks later, Megan publicly identified Lanez as her assailant. This prompted the Los Angeles Police Department to open an investigation.
Since then, Lanez has largely avoided addressing the incident directly. That is, until he released an album in September, apparently aimed at clearing his name. Despite his denial, Lanez was later charged with felony assault and was legally required to stay away from Megan. In a recent interview with GQ, Megan revealed that Lanez allegedly tried to buy her silence, though his lawyer denies the claim. Megan recalled the moment, saying, “I never put my hands on nobody. I barely even said anything to the man who shot me when I was walking away… [At this point] I’m really scared… [and] I can’t believe you even think I want to take some money… you just shot me.”
Fan Reactions and Speculation
As Megan’s release date for Good News approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating whether “Shots Fired” will offer Megan’s side of the story in a no-holds-barred track addressing Lanez directly. Given her candid interviews and growing openness about the incident, fans expect a hard-hitting track that could make a powerful statement.
With Good News scheduled for release on Friday, November 20, the wait is almost over for fans to hear if “Shots Fired” will be the diss track they’ve been anticipating. Until then, Megan’s supporters continue to rally around her, expressing excitement for the track and the potential truths it might reveal.
