Recent comments by Olivia Davis, rumored ex-girlfriend of NBA player Torrey Craig, have sparked controversy online. 

During an episode of the Girls 1 Kitchen podcast, Davis made dismissive remarks about rapper Megan Thee Stallion, igniting backlash from fans who accused her of microaggressions and insensitivity.

Davis struggled to pronounce Megan’s name, saying, “Magan Thee Stallion? Mag Thee Stallion? What’s her name?” Her tone, coupled with co-host Lana Rhoades’s comments about Craig’s dating preferences, drew widespread criticism. Rhoades claimed Craig’s past relationships indicated a preference for “blonde, white women,” which Davis agreed with, adding, “They all looked very similar.”

The episode went viral, with Megan’s fanbase, the “Hotties,” flooding the podcast’s social media accounts. Critics highlighted the dismissive tone and perceived racial bias in the conversation. One fan commented, “Struggling to say her name correctly while shading her is peak microaggression.”

Neither Megan nor Craig has addressed the remarks publicly. Megan, known for guarding her private life, is unlikely to respond, but Craig’s silence has drawn attention.

The backlash highlights the ongoing issue of microaggressions in celebrity gossip, particularly against successful Black women. Megan Thee Stallion, a chart-topping rapper, has faced scrutiny and controversy throughout her career but continues to command respect and loyalty from her fans.

As speculation about Megan and Craig’s rumored romance continues, this controversy serves as a reminder of the challenges celebrities face in the spotlight.
