With a jury finding Tory Lanez guilty on all charges in the Megan Thee Stallion assault trial, many are coming out in support of the “Pressurelicious” rapper. However, even ahead of the divisive case reaching to a conclusion, Megan was being showered in love by those who believed her.
Among her online supporters was Noah “40” Shebib, a record producer who has history with Drake and helped co-found of October’s Very Own (OVO).
Last week, as trial updates from on-scene journalists dominated headlines, 40 made his stance known beneath an Instagram post made by the On Canada Project—a platform that helps facilitate “public discourse around the future of [Canada] and [the] world.”
The upload was centered around supporting the H-Town Hottie, and the very first photo included in the post read, “I stand with Megan Thee Stallion.” Subsequent photos include screenshots of people showing love to the rapper, and discussions on misogynoir and gender-based violence were included, too.
Down in the comment section, 40 popped in to drop a succinct message that consisted of two emojis (one of clapping and one of showing two hands raised in the air). He also “liked” the post.
Ordinarily, a public figure dropping a couple of emojis and a “like” isn’t too big of a deal, though 40’s affiliation with Drake prevented the gesture from going unnoticed.
Specifically, the fact that 40 helped produce Her Loss—which contained a song that seemingly dissed Megan—made the matter noteworthy.
Early on in the album’s ninth track, “Circo Loco,” Drake infamously rapped, “This b***h lie ’bout getting shots, but she still a stallion.”
This swiftly caused a stir online, and it even prompted a response from Megan, as The Shade Room previously reported.
However, according to TMZ, there’s a theory that the line in question was primarily centered on women who lie about getting BBLs.
Are you here for Noah “40” Shebib supporting Megan Thee Stallion, or are you giving the entire situation the side-eye?
