Megan Thee Stallion describes her shooting in tearful video - Washington Post

Posted: 27 Jul 2020 04:06 PM PDT

She did not name the person who shot her, as she also declined to do when she first said publicly that she was shot in a July 15 Instagram post.

Rapper Tory Lanez, who was with Pete, was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon on the morning of the July 12 incident in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles police said, and was released later that day after posting bail. Megan and Lanez had been in a car together after leaving a party.

Lanez, a 27-year-old Canadian rapper and singer whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, has not been charged in relation to the shooting. His representatives have not responded to requests for comment.

Police have said only that officers responded to a report of gunfire and a woman was treated for foot injuries They say they are aware of Pete's Stallion's subsequent remarks on her gunshot injuries, and say detectives are investigating.

Pete said in the Monday video that she was lucky that the bullets did not hit any bones or break any tendons, and thanked her late parents and grandmother. She expects to fully recover.

"I know my mama and my daddy, my granny had to be looking out for me with that one cause where the bullets hit at, it missed everything," she said.

She lashed out at those she says have spread misinformation about the shooting, downplayed it or mocked her for it.

"It was nothing for y'all to start going and making up fake stories about," she said. I didn't put my hands on nobody. I didn't deserve to get shot."

Megan Thee Stallion has seen a major recent rise on the rap and pop music scene, topping the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart this year with her remix of "Savage" featuring Beyoncé. She won best female hip-hop artist at last month's BET Awards and was named one of the AP's Breakthrough Entertainers of the Year for 2019.

Beyonce conspiracy theories: Star hit with bizarre rumours - NEWS.com.au

Posted: 10 Jul 2020 12:00 AM PDT

She's a global superstar living every moment under the spotlight, but for some reason Beyonce still attracts the wildest – and most idiotic – rumours in show business.

Earlier this week, the singer was bizarrely accused of "faking" her African-American heritage for "exposure" by a US politician.

In a warped Twitter rant over the weekend, Florida candidate KW Miller raged that the Single Ladies hit maker, 38, was actually Italian.

"Beyoncé is not even African-American. She is faking this for exposure. Her real name is Ann Marie Lastrassi. She is Italian," Miller exploded.

The eccentric politician also accused Queen Bey of sending "secret coded messages to globalists in her song Formation".

Unsurprisingly, his remarks sparked outrage among the star's fans – with one concerned Twitter user branding him "a danger to society."

Yet it's not the first time Beyoncé has been targeted by a vile – and simply ridiculous – conspiracy theory, with others accusing her of witchcraft, staging her pregnancy and even being a member of a top-secret society.

Here, as attention-seeking Miller continues to share desperate and offensive posts online, we reveal the other baffling Beyoncé conspiracy theories …

BEY'S A 'WITCH'

In one of the most eye-popping theories, Beyoncé's female ex-drummer accused the singer of "witchcraft" and watching her have sex by jumping into other people's bodies.

Musician Kimberly Thompson also alleged that the star killed her pet kitten, while demanding a restraining order against her, The Blast reported.

Thompson – who apparently worked for Beyoncé for seven years – claimed the singer launched a campaign of harassment against her, using "dark magic" and "magic spells of sexual molestation", according to the lawsuit.

She also declared that Beyoncé was involved in practices of "extreme" witchcraft, and that she tapped her phones and controlled her finances.

A judge denied Thompson's request for a temporary restraining order.

SHE'S A SECRET ILLUMINATI MEMBER

In what has been dubbed the longest-standing conspiracy theory, Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z have been linked to the Illuminati society.

The original Illuminati group dates back to the mid-18th Century when it was founded by Bavarian law professor Adam Weishaupt.

His intention was to start an academic organisation of modern thinkers prepared to challenge the views of the Catholic Church.

But today, conspiracy theorists have linked the ultra-secret Illuminati to everything from the "faked" moon landings and the 9/11 terror attacks to the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy.

They believe the occult is now made up of powerful, elite figures who "run the world" (like the "Girls" in Bey's 2011 hit song).

While Beyoncé has been accused of making the triple six Illuminati hand sign – allegedly associated with the Devil – numerous times in public, Jay Z's famous diamond hand signals are said to be a wink to the group.

Beyoncé flashed the same sign during her 2013 Super Bowl performance – which some linked to the Illuminati's triangle symbol and 'all-seeing' eye.

The megastar's music videos are also claimed to be littered with demon-worshipping signs – while conspiracy theorists allege her daughter Blue Ivy's name means "Born Living Under Evil, Illuminati's Very Youngest".

Even Beyoncé's pregnancy announcement with twins Rumi and Sir three years ago has been cited as 'proof' of her involvement with the Illuminati.

She shared the news on Instagram on February 1, 2017 – which is significant because of the Illuminati's supposed obsession with prime numbers.

Both two (February is the second month) and 2017 are prime numbers – while one, though not a prime number, isn't divisible by any other number.

Bey's accompanying picture also caught theorists' eyes: she is apparently kneeling in a pyramid shape, which is a key symbol for the group (with Illuminati rulers said to be at the top, and ordinary people at the bottom).

However, a year earlier, the Halo singer had denied being linked to the mysterious group through the lyrics of her 2016 track, Formation.

The opening lines state: "Y'all haters corny with that Illuminati mess."

SHE 'FAKED' HER PREGNANCY

She's a proud mum of three – yet one outrageous theory claims Beyoncé faked her pregnancy with Blue Ivy and used a surrogate instead.

The rumours started during a 2011 TV appearance where Beyoncé's baby bump looked as if it 'folded' due to an odd angle.

The Lemonade singer was said to be left heartbroken by rumours she used a surrogate mother instead of carrying Blue Ivy, now eight, herself.

One source said: "During her first pregnancy Beyoncé was plagued by trolls who claimed she was not ­carrying the baby and that her bump wasn't real …

"Bey put on a brave face at the time, but she was privately devastated."

Other vile rumours have claimed Blue Ivy – who is the spitting image of her stunning mum – is actually the daughter of Jay Z and another woman.

SHE'S SEVEN YEARS OLDER

Like many celebs, Beyoncé has been accused of lying about her age.

The singer's birth date is widely reported to be September 4, 1981 – yet some believe she arrived seven years earlier, on the same date in 1974.

This rumour first surfaced in 2006, when someone who claimed to work for the Texas Department of Health allegedly uncovered her birth record.

If true, it would make Bey 45.

Other supposed evidence includes a lack of pictures showing the singer at an awkward teen phase, as well as some vague comments on US TV.

And the star's dad hasn't helped the matter: Mathew Knowles has made some confusing remarks about his daughter's age in interviews.

In one radio interview, with The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1, New York, Mathew suggested Beyoncé is the "exact same age" as Pink and Usher.

The artists (who aren't the "exact same age" as each other at all – are aged 40 and 41 respectively – several years older than 38-year-old Bey.

BEY IS SOLANGE'S MUM

Hooked on the age conspiracy theory, some people believe Solange Knowles, 34, is actually Beyoncé's daughter, not younger sister.

This wild theory – which relies on Beyoncé being older than her reported age – alleges that the superstar gave birth to Solange as a teen.

In a plot reminiscent of a soap opera storyline, it claims that parents Mathew and Tina Knowles covered up the fact Bey had delivered a child.

Instead, they allegedly brought up Solange – also a singer – as their own.

Though it's unclear where the rumour first sprung from, it has been claimed that a "cousin" has confirmed Solange is Beyoncé's kid.

SHE 'MADE HER BANDMATES CHANGE THEIR NAMES'

It was recently reported that Beyoncé' is "in talks" for a Destiny's Child reunion with bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

But according to yet another shocking conspiracy theory, the singer is the reason why Michelle and Kelly aren't known by their birth names.

According to The Telegraph, some believe Michelle, born Tenitra, and Kelly, born Kelendria, were forced to change their names to ensure Beyoncé – who is named after her mum's maiden name, Beyincé – stood out.

Conspiracy theorists allege that Bey's dad Mathew, who managed the Bootylicious and Say My Name group, wanted to keep his daughter in the limelight.

Yet even if this was the case, there were clearly no hard feelings – the close trio performed together on stage at Coachella two years ago.

And sources say more gigs and new music could be in the pipeline for the group later this year, once the Covid pandemic is over.

MS Trust forced to abandon fundraising festival name after Coachella objection - Largs and Millport Weekly News

The festival featuring Mr Motivator has been made to change its name

The festival featuring Mr Motivator has been made to change its name

A fundraising festival featuring Mr Motivator and John Shuttleworth has been forced to change its name after US festival Coachella objected to the title Couch-ella.

The MS Trust said they were forced to remove the "soft furnishings" from their name after the real Coachella – an annual festival in the California desert – raised the issue.

The event on August 22 will now be known as the MS Trust Home Festival and will feature livestreamed comedy, music and dance.

According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the organisers of the Coachella festival have held a trademark on the rights to the "chella" suffix since 2015.

Announcing the name change on Instagram, the charity said: "Our festival has a new name! The people running the real 'Coachella' in America won't let us use 'COUCH-ella', so unfortunately we've had to change the name to 'MS Trust Home Festival'.

"The event is still going ahead as planned on August 22, with all the same festival fun to be had, just without the soft furnishings!"

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival takes place in the Indio desert near Palm Springs and attracted about 250,000 attendees last year.

Previous headliners have included Oasis, Radiohead, and The Cure while Beyonce's performance at the 2018 festival was filmed and released as live album and film Homecoming.

Megan Thee Stallion 'hurt and traumatized' as she recovers from gunshot wounds - USA TODAY

Megan Thee Stallion is setting the record straight about her harrowing experience over the weekend.

The "Savage" singer, whose real name is Megan Pete, commented on social media this week after reports surfaced saying she was present during fellow rapper Tory Lanez's arrest.

"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," she wrote on Instagram Wednesday, adding that she is expected to make a full recovery after police officers drove her to the hospital where she underwent surgery to remove the bullets.

On Friday, she tweeted about how she is "hurt and traumatized" from the experience.

"Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own. It might be funny to y'all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life," she said. 

According to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was arrested in Hollywood, Calif., following a shots fired investigation at about 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. He was charged with concealing a firearm in a vehicle and bonded out later that day.

The release does not mention Pete, but notes that one person was transported to the hospital and received medical treatment for a foot injury.

On Wednesday morning, TMZ posted a video of two figures with their hands behind their backs, surrounded by police. The outlet identified the figures as Pete and Lanez and said the video shows the arrest.

USA TODAY has reached out to the Los Angeles Police Department for more details.

In her Instagram post Wednesday, Pete said she wanted to correct an inaccurate narrative about what happened that evening. In a previous story on Lanez's arrest, TMZ had reported that Pete was treated only for broken glass in her foot and did not mention gunfire.

Pete wrote that she was not arrested but that she did suffer multiple gunshot wounds.

"The narrative that is being reported about Sunday's morning events are inaccurate and I'd like to set the record straight," she wrote.

"I'm currently focused on my recovery, so I can return back to my life and back to making music as soon as possible."

Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion break the internet for charity with 'Savage' remix

The rapper added that the experience has been "an eye opener and a blessing in disguise."

"I hate that it took this experience for me to learn how to protect my energy," she continued.

LAPD officer Jeff Lee told the Associated Press he had no comment on Pete's Instagram post but that it has been pointed out to the detectives on the case, who are looking into it.

USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Pete and Lanez for further comment.

Megan Thee Stallion, 25, has seen a recent rise on the rap and pop music scene, topping the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart this year with her Beyoncé-assisted remix of "Savage," which had a viral moment on the video-sharing platform TikTok. The song is from her nine-track album "Suga," which was released in March and helped the performer win best female hip-hop artist at last month's BET Awards, besting Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Lizzo.

She's also scored Top 40 pop hits with "Hot Girl Summer," "Cash (Expletive)" and the recent single "Girls in the Hood."

"Suga" comes after the release of the projects "Fever" and "Tina Snow" that helped establish Stallion's name in music. Last year she made the 2019 TIME 100 Next List, was named one of the AP's Breakthrough Entertainers of the Year, won prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards and BET Hip-Hop Awards, and was honored by Variety and Billboard magazines.

LAPD encourages anyone with information regarding this investigation to contact Hollywood Area Robbery Detectives at 213-972-2934. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247).
