Megan Thee Stallion has hit back at reality star Draya Michele for joking about her shooting.

Reports originally stated that Megan had been taken to hospital with glass in her foot following an incident at a party on 12 July, but the rapper later claimed that she had been shot.

Tory Lanez was also arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon at the scene.

Discussing the altercation on the Wine and Weed podcast, Basketball Wives star Michele speculated that the pair had “some sort of Bobby and Whitney love” in reference to the allegedly abusive relationship between singer Whitney Houston and her husband Bobby Brown.

“I’m here for it,” she added. “I like that. I want you to like me so much you shoot me in the foot, too.”

Michele was quickly accused of trivialising domestic violence, with Megan seemingly responding in a tweet reading: “Dumb b**** that s*** ain’t f***ing funny. Who tf jokes about getting shot?”

“F*** all the hoe ass n****s making jokes about it too,” she continued. “I’ll talk about s*** when I get ready.”

Michele later apologised, tweeting: “I truly don’t glorify domestic violence... I was trying to say just love me deeply. But while trying to be funny, I offended many, including meg. And I’m sorry.”

Speaking about the shooting, Megan said: “On Sunday morning, I suffered gunshot wounds, as a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me.”
