GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s friendship came out of a bitter situation recently. This goes back to when GloRilla used one of Tory Lanez’s songs in an Instagram story this week. For the unversed, Lanez is facing prison time for the 2020 incident where he shot Stallion. According to People magazine, he was convicted and has been imprisoned.

The rift in their friendship was reportedly noticed by fans on May 21, 2025, when they learned that GloRilla and Stallion had allegedly unfollowed each other on social media after the former used the song.

The outlet noted that Stallion cleansed her social media of everything related to GloRilla. On May 22, 2025, the latter shared an X post, writing:

“Ion internet sh*t and I don’t do mess! It was an innocent repost yall bsn.”

As per the latest updates, it is now reported that the two singers have started following each other again. Megan Thee Stallion recently shared her thoughts about Tory Lanez on TikTok, expressing frustration over being repeatedly forced to relive the trauma of being shot.

She said this was mainly because of people who defended Tory Lanez or denied his involvement. She questioned why his fans kept spreading false information—first claiming she was never shot, then admitting she was but saying he wasn’t responsible.

She also pointed out how unfair it was that people were angry at her, even though she was the one who was hurt.


What did Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla say about each other previously?

In other news, Megan Thee Stallion was claimed to have been shot by Kelsey Harris. Her lawyer, Alex Spiro, shared a statement with XXL Magazine, highlighting that it was not a political case. Spiro said:

“Tory Lanez was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and his case was properly adjudicated through the court system. This is not a political matter — this is a case of a violent assault that was resolved in the court of law.”

Last year, when GloRilla released her debut studio album Glorious, she spoke to Billboard about her friendship with Megan Thee Stallion. Glo explained that she didn’t have many close friends in the music industry.

However, she and Megan Thee Stallion ended up becoming genuinely close. Their friendship started unexpectedly when Megan FaceTimed her while she was boarding a plane, joking around and being funny. From there, they built a real connection.

Megan Thee Stallion praised GloRilla and Beyoncé while speaking to Billboard in 2024. She said:

“Music is competition, rap is a competition, but those two ladies, I feel like we all like to see each other do good things. We like to see each other win. Sharing the stage with people that want to see you do good and you want to see them do good, it felt very uplifting.”

The duo also hinted at a possible collaboration in 2024. Megan posted a fun video on Instagram showing her and Glo hanging out in a recording studio. In the clip, GloRilla turned around and jokingly said, “Damn!”

Megan laughed and then playfully covered the camera with her hand, switching up the scene. In the caption, she teased Glo’s release and hyped up their energy.
