Megan Thee Stallion says she will not release new music until she is ‘in better place’ post Lanez trial… after getting close to Romelu Lukaku in Italy
Megan Thee Stallion won’t release new music until she is ‘in a better place’.
The 28-year-old rapper – who has been seen with Romelu Lukaku – is still ‘healing’ from the traumatic ordeal of being shot at by Tory Lanez and the subsequent lengthy trial.
Now she is focusing on her mental and physical well-being.
She won’t consider putting new songs out until she’s in the right mindset.
Rapper Tory Lanez, 30, was convicted in December of three felony counts including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
It was in connection with the 2020 incident involving the WAP hitmaker.
The star, whose birth name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, told InStyle: ‘Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place.
‘Right now, I’m focused on healing.’
Megan said that for now she is ‘spending time with her dogs, working out, bingeing TV shows, and simply finding new ways to protect her peace.’
She added: ‘The music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out.
‘Life is all about balance.’
She also has been spending time with Lukaku.
The rapper recently set tongues wagging when she attended a wedding in Italy with the Belgian football star, 30, as her date.
The two were in attendance for the nuptials of Lukaku’s InterMilan teammate Lautaro Martinez to model Agustina Gandolfo in Lake Como, Italy.
Lukaku is currently on loan from Premiere League club Chelsea and the Belgium national team.
But a lyric in Megan’s song Fkn Around may provide a clue that she and Lukaku have in fact been seeing each other for the last three years.
In the song, released in 2020, Megan raps: ‘Everybody wanna to know who Megan dating (huh?)
Megan’s last studio album was 2022’s Traumazine.
The Sweetest Pie rapper recently insisted she is ‘more than just [her] trauma’.
She told ELLE magazine: ‘I understand the public intrigue, but for the sake of my mental health, I don’t plan to keep reliving the most traumatic experience of my life over and over again. I’m choosing to change the narrative because I’m more than just my trauma.
‘I was once told that you can’t have crucifixion without resurrection, and that statement resonated so deeply with me. This is a rebirth of a happier and healthier me.’
Megan’s outlook has been transformed by the shooting and conviction of Tory.
The Grammy-winning star shared: ‘I’m a survivor and I have – and will continue – to embrace the highs and lows of my journey. I’m excited to get back into music, because I have been so transformed. I’m playing around with new songs and new sounds that I can’t wait for everyone to hear.’
