Megan Thee Stallion’s ex-best friend Kelsey Harris wants Joe Budden to stop making her the topic of discussion. Harris hopped on X to respond to Budden’s earlier comments from a recent podcast episode. “It’s easy to get lost in the media. But let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned,” she wrote. The post came after Joe Budden shared his opinion about the 2020 shooting incident involving, Harris, Megan, and Tory Lanez. Earlier this week, Lanez’s driver gave his recollection of the night, which conflicts with prior statements from Megan. The driver claims that Lanez approached Harris and Megan Thee Stallion during an argument, after witnessing Harris brandish a weapon.
Budden deduced that Lanez had been set up, and alleges Harris is likely the one who pulled the trigger. The former Slaughterhouse rapper believes that the Houston rapper was a mere pawn. “First of all, I think it’s above her…I don’t think she made it up. It’s above her. She’s a mere pawn in this. This play is greater than her. She didn’t make nothing up. N*ggas out there know who it is. I ain’t saying it on this broadcast but I know exactly who it is, I know how that gun got there, I know who gun it was.”
Budden added, “Some people know whose gun it was… we know who’s gun that was. So he took her gun and shot her why? Why was he so mad?” Joe later noted that Harris had contacted him before about not discussing the case. “I thought it was weird that the last time we talked about this sh*t Kelsey jumped in my DMs talking ’bout, ‘Hey, don’t talk about this no more.’ Why? You got immunity. That’s odd…” Earlier this year, Megan Thee Stallion opened up about the incident during an interview.
The rapper says during that time she didn’t process her feelings correctly. “I was the type of person who worked through everything. Like, Forget it. I’m going to just go to work. Fill up my schedule. I want to do everything. I don’t even want to think about it.” She continues: “But now I’m like, Well, wait a minute. Let me take my days to myself. I do have boundaries now. Megan adds, “The way that I love myself is so different from the way that I did love myself… I’m not doing things to make other people happy. I’m just all about Megan right now, and I love it. I hope that I can continue this way.”
