Recently, Megan shared a photo of her attending Lukaku’s Inter Milan team’s Serie A game against local rivals Lazio.
“Sports Brief” reports that it is likely they met through Roc Nation, Jay Z’s agency, under which they are both signed.
Megan has had a tumultuous couple of years following her highly publicised incident with rapper and former boyfriend Tory Lanez in which Lanez allegedly shot at Megan’s feet after a Hollywood party in 2020.
Lanez has been behind bars since he was convicted of felony assault in December 2022 for the incident.
Now, ahead of his sentencing on June 13, prosecutors are seeking a harsh prison term. “Rolling Stone” reports that he is facing a maximum of 22 years and eight months behind bars.
In a new filing last week, prosecutors broke down what they believe are aggravating factors that would allow for the judge to give Lanez a lengthy prison sentence. These include Lanez’s use of a semi-automatic handgun and Megan’s vulnerability at the time of the shooting.
Prosecutors wrote in the filing: “As victim began to walk away from Defendant wearing only a bikini and no shoes, Defendant mocked Victim with ‘Dance Bitch’ as (he) opened fire in her direction.
“With no justifiable reason, Defendant fired not just one but up to five rounds in the direction of Victim in the middle of a residential neighbourhood.”
While Megan hasn’t spoken much about the incident, during a recent interview she shared that she was focused on healing before new music would be released.
“Megan thee Stallion reveals she’s currently not focused on releasing new music in a new interview with InStyle,” tweeted @rapalert6. “‘Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place. I’m focused on healing.’”
