Fif and Joe are making it clear that they are not a fan of the Houston Hottie's emotional testimony during which she provided in-depth details of the alleged July 2020 shooting incident.

AceShowbiz - The trial against Tory Lanez over July 2020 shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion has received a lot of attention in recent days, with several celebrities voicing their opinions on the matter. Among those who have weighed in on the issue were 50 Cent and Joe Budden.
On Saturday, December 17, Fif turned to his Instagram page to post a meme featuring a teary-eyed Megan from her interview with Gayle King in April. The image then morphed into former "Empire" star Jussie Smollett. "Damn, i'm confused [about] all this s**t going around, " the "In Da Club" rapper wrote in the caption. " [I] don't know what to think. LOL."
The meme is in reference to the controversy surrounding Jussie's 2021 case, where he was sentenced to five months in prison for allegedly faking a hate crime, stemming from an incident in 2019 where the actor said he was the victim of an alleged hate crime.
Fiddy's followers, however, didn't seem to agree with him. Sharing their thoughts in the comments section, one fan wrote, "Confused about what exactly? It's clear that she was shot. All parties have agreed to that FACT."
YouTube star Jessie Woo suggested that maybe 50 Cent needs to direct his energy to another party. "Maybe I'm lost, but…. Shouldn't this meme have the face of the witness who keeps changing their story?? Not Megan," she wrote. Even Julia Fox stepped into the rapper's comment section to offer her thoughts, writing, "Damn, It really is ALL men."
Also mocking Megan was Joe. The "Joe Budden Podcast" host discussed Megan and Tory's ongoing court case in the December 15 episode featuring DJ Akademiks. At one point, the media personality confessed his disdain as saying, "I got some theories. But what I can say is I'm finished with these n***as and I don't like that girl. I can't."
"Personally, I've seen this woman do horrible things to some really great people that I have longstanding relationship with here in this industry," he continued. "So I'm biased. You can't just treat my friends, and people I f**k with, and people I've seen in this game for 15 years a certain way."
Responding to Joe's statement, one social media user wrote via Twitter, "I'm sure Megan couldn't care less about being liked by him." Another wondered, "Why is everyone so against Meg?"
The trial over the shooting incident began on Monday, December 12. The trial will resume on Monday, December 19 at 10:30 A.M. in Los Angeles with testimony expected to end on Tuesday. Tory is facing three felony counts and could face up to 23 years in prison if convicted.
During her emotional testimony, Megan was adamant Tory was the triggerman. "Tory came out and told so many different lies, about me not being shot, about him not being the shooter, and making this all about a sex scandal," she testified on December 13. The ensuing ordeal led to a barrage of threats and harassment online, she said, and left her feeling like a "sick bird" that other members of her industry sought to avoid.
"Because I was shot, I've been turned into some kind of villain, and he's the victim. This has messed up my whole life," Megan said, admitting the toll has left her feeling isolated and depressed. "I can't even be happy. I wish he would have just shot and killed me if I knew I had to go through this torture."
