In a post on X, Megan Thee Stallion expressed her outrage, stating, "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 shit. Just know today was your last day playing with me, and I mean it." The rapper, currently enjoying success with her latest single "Hiss" dominating the Hot 100, faced this setback amid the rescheduling of her Dallas Hot Girl Summer 2024 tour due to the NBA finals.
Fans quickly rallied around her post, offering support and urging her to take legal action against those responsible for the alleged tape. This incident is part of a growing trend of celebrities being targeted with AI-generated explicit content.
Earlier this year, Taylor Swift was embroiled in a similar controversy involving AI-generated explicit images. The content circulated widely on social media, amassing 45 million views before the account was suspended. A source told the Daily Mail, "Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided, but there is one thing that is clear: These fake, AI-generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge."
The incidents involving Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift highlight the increasing misuse of AI technology to create unauthorized and harmful content, raising concerns about privacy and consent in the digital age.
