Megan Thee Stallion fought back tears while performing on Saturday night in Tampa Florida on her Hot Girl tour. A fan caught the emotional moment on video as it unfolded at the Amalie Arena. In the video, Megan pauses and takes a deep breath before launching into her popular hit “Cobra”.
When the track begins Megan struggles to sing. She covers her face with her hands in an effort to stop herself from breaking down in tears. Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion.
While it’s not clear what sparked the teary episode, the on-stage hiccup comes after rumours that an AI-generated sex tape allegedly depicting her likeness began circulating online. The Grammy winner took to X on Saturday afternoon before the show to slam the “fake ass” video. “It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning.
Yall going too far, Fake ass s**t,” she posted. “Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.” Megan is yet to comment on the vulnerable moment, but thanked her fans who attended the show.
“TAMPA HOTTIES! Thank you I love yall! Thee energy was everything! Love you hotties,” she captioned a video on Instagram. Fans flooded the comments with support for the artist. “Love you so much, Meg.
I’m really sorry about how mean and nasty people can be towards you on the internet, but please know thee Hotties love you. I’m always cheering you on. Keep shining!” one fan wrote.
