Megan Thee Stallion is facing backlash for her “Hiss” track, specifically the mention of Megan’s Law, which has offended an entire family. Despite shedding light on the law, Megan Kanka’s family is considering taking legal action.

Megan’s Law in Megan Thee Stallion’s Lyrics

In the ongoing feud between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, the two artists have been taking shots at each other through their music. Over the weekend, Megan Thee Stallion released “Hiss” and confidently rapped the lyrics:

“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/ I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start.”

This line was a direct reference to Nicki’s husband, who was convicted of sexual assault on a minor in 1995 and served four years in prison. The mention of Megan’s law in the lyrics is significant because it refers to Megan Kanka, who was raped and killed at the age of 7 by a neighbor named Jesse Timmendequas.

Megan Kanka’s Father Slams Megan Thee Stallion

Per TMZ, Richard Kanka, Megan Kanka’s father, expressed his displeasure with Megan Thee Stallion’s reference to Megan’s Law. He believes that the rapper’s move is highly offensive to the victim and their family. Richard learned about the lyrics from his children before reading them himself. While he has intentions of pursuing legal action, it may not hold water as artists have the freedom to reference past incidents.

Megan has made it clear that she is determined to fight until the end. During an early morning call on The Breakfast Club, she stated that her song was directed at her critics and those who have constantly criticized her. She concluded by saying, “I’m saying, a hit dog gon’ holler. That’s it. Whoever feels it, feels it.”

On the other hand, Nicki responded with her song titled “Big Foot,” where she made fun of Megan’s gunshot injury, her mother’s death, and her surgery experience.
