Megan Thee Stallion Breaks Silence After Fake Explicit Video Allegedly Surfaces On X
Megan Thee Stallion is firing back after allegedly becoming the latest celebrity victim of deepfake porn.
On Saturday, the "Savage" hitmaker -- real name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete -- took to X, formerly Twitter, to slam those trying to "hurt" her and ruin her image and seemingly threaten them with legal action.
"It's really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning. Yall going too far, Fake a*s s**t. Just know today was your last day playing with me, and I mean it," Megan wrote.
While the Grammy winner did not specify who the message was for or what it was about, HotNewHipHop reported that Megan's post came after an alleged sex tape of her surfaced on X.
The explicit video appeared to have been generated or edited using artificial intelligence, but it is unclear where exactly it came from, the outlet noted.
According to Uproxx, the fake sex tape featuring Megan began garnering attention after social media personality Mílagro Gramz liked the video on X and jokingly told other users to check it out.
Megan's fans expressed outrage over the doctored video and urged the rapper to sue the people behind it as well as those spreading it.
"Please sue them, we're begging," one fan responded to Megan's tweet. "We [are] tired of them playing on your name."

A second user called for fans to rally behind Megan, writing: "We ride at dawn, hotties!!"
"I'm so sorry that people are so f**king weird, Megan. Just know we're standing [10] toes behind you no matter what. Love you to the moon," another wrote.
"College educated rapper breaking records," a fourth person commented. "Haters can't compare to that type of black excellence."
Mílagro later responded to the criticism by pointing out that she did not create or even repost the clip in question.
The X user also suggested that she wasn't among the people Megan's tweet was directed at and shared screenshots of her posts discouraging people from spreading the alleged sex tape as proof.
In another post, Mílagro clarified, "I called that bait from the jump. It's not illegal to say go to my likes so that social media users could see what I was referencing."
"I even stated that she should pursue charges against whoever did it because that's so wrong to do to people," she added. "Never redistributed the content or asserted that it was her in it."
Megan is not the only celebrity to have fallen prey to deepfakes.
Earlier this year, fake, AI-generated photos depicting Taylor Swift in sexually suggestive poses spread across multiple platforms, including X and Facebook.
X, Meta and Reddit quickly took down the posts featuring the AI-generated images, while Swifties flooded the hashtag of her name with positive posts.
At the time, an unnamed source told the Daily Mail that Swift and her family were "furious" that "abusive, offensive [and] exploitative" images of her were circulating online and were allegedly considering taking legal action.
