The song “Cobra,” released following the high-profile assault trial of Tory Lanez, who was convicted for shooting Megan in July 2020, touches on themes of depression, betrayal, and resilience. Lyrics such as “Breakin’ down and I had the whole world watchin’/ But the worst part is really who watched me” highlight the rapper’s personal struggles and her fight to overcome them.
Megan Thee Stallion has faced numerous challenges since her ascent to stardom, including the loss of her mother and grandmother in March 2019 and the subsequent legal battle with Tory Lanez, which concluded with his sentencing to prison last year.
Adding to her trials, Megan recently addressed the circulation of an AI-generated sex tape, expressing her distress and condemning those responsible for attempting to harm her reputation and success. “It’s really sick how y’all go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,” she stated on X (formerly Twitter).
The Tampa show not only showcased Megan Thee Stallion’s musical talents but also her vulnerability and strength, leaving fans with a deeper connection to the artist and her music.
