Reneé Rapp defends Megan Thee Stallion in viral Ziwe interview with blunt takes on Tory Lanez and Drake
Reneé Rapp's recent interview with Ziwe has gone viral after her blunt remarks about Tory Lanez and Drake. The 24-year-old singer and actress didn't hold back, voicing full support for Megan Thee Stallion while openly criticising Lanez and Drake's actions.
When asked about Tory Lanez being stabbed in prison, Rapp responded: 'I feel like a lot of people get stabbed, and that's okay. Maybe we should be doing it more. Shiv in the pocket.' The comment ignited intense debate across social media, particularly given Lanez's current 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Rapp has consistently stood by Megan. Last year, she collaborated with her on a Mean Girls soundtrack single, and in the interview, Rapp reaffirmed that stance, stating: 'I'm a true Meg supporter. I hate that other man. I love Megan Thee Stallion. If anybody tries her over that sorry man, it's a do-or-die fight for me.'
Ziwe also asked Rapp about Drake's support of Lanez, referencing his signature on a petition calling for Lanez's release. Rapp's response was sharp: 'That's so tired. I love Kendrick Lamar.'
Ziwe called it 'her most iconic interview yet,' and many viewers agreed.

Footage surfaces of Tory Lanez being stabbed 14 times by inmate Santino Casio in California prison
Rapper Tory Lanez is recovering after being stabbed 14 times earlier this month at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he is serving a 10-year sentence related to the 2020 Megan Thee Stallion shooting. According to The Shade Room, exclusive footage shows inmate Santino Casio launching a violent attack on Lanez near a stairwell inside the facility. The video captures Lanez attempting to escape while screaming for help as Casio repeatedly strikes him. EXCLUSIVE: The Shade Room obtains exclusive footage of Tory Lanez's prison stabbing. #TSRStaffBD — TheShadeRoom (@TheShadeRoom) May 28, 2025 The attack occurred around 7:20 a.m. on May 12, according to a prison spokesperson cited by the Associated Press. Despite the severity of his injuries—which included both lungs collapsing—Lanez was reported to be in stable condition, breathing independently, and in 'good spirits' following treatment inside the prison and later at an external hospital. His team confirmed his status in a public statement the same day. Still images shared by The Shade Room reveal the aftermath of the stabbing. Lanez appears visibly shaken, with blood covering his face, torso, and clothing. While the aftermath was visually graphic, attention has also turned to the identity and history of the attacker. Santino Casio, the 42-year-old involved in the assault, is already serving a life sentence for second-degree murder and has a history of violent incidents behind bars. Following the stabbing, Casio was placed in restricted housing pending further investigation. According to TMZ, Casio later claimed he acted in self-defense, alleging he believed Lanez had 'put a price on his head' and had spotted what he thought was a weapon in Lanez's pocket moments before the attack. Casio also claimed he had maintained a relatively decent relationship with Lanez prior to the incident. The California Correctional Institution houses approximately 1,700 medium- and maximum-security inmates and is located about 100 miles north of Los Angeles in the Mojave Desert.
