Megan Thee Stallion thinks people are paid to hate her online
In a recent Instagram Live, Megan addressed the fans who defend her online. She noted that she finds the amount of hate she gets to be a little suspicious.
“When I do peep online and see what y’all doing, I feel like y’all get so easily riled up and easily discouraged when y’all know people get paid to talk crazy about me,” she said, per Vice. “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 shared a theory that she doesn’t have as many critics as it might seem. Instead, she’s dealing with backlash from bots and people who are paid to post about her.
“It’s not, because people are getting paid to do this,” she said. “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.”
She encouraged fans not to let it bother them. She doesn’t take it very seriously.
“Stop listening to them. B****, they time up … What is there even to hate on?” she asked. “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.”
