Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Being Stabbed in Prison

Megan, for her part, has previously opened up about the emotional toll the fallout from the incident took on her, in addition to the physical challenges.

"A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time," she told Women's Health in a cover story published April 2024. "I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me."

Megan continued, "As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace. But I'm human."

The 30-year-old (real name Megan Pete) also recalled forcing herself to perform, noting, “I would be crying half the time because I didn't want to [perform] but I also didn't want to upset my fans."

In fact, the toll on her mental health became apparent off stage, too.

"I didn't want to get [out] from under the covers," she added. "I stayed in my room. I would not turn the lights on. I had blackout curtains. I didn't want to see the sun. I knew I wasn't myself. It took me a while to acknowledge that I was depressed. But once I started talking to a therapist, I was able to be truthful with myself."

And it was with the help of her therapist that the “Mamushi” artist embarked on her healing journey, which involved getting rid of social media, cutting ties with certain people and also focusing on her physical health.

“Working on myself made me get into working out because I needed to focus my energy somewhere else,” she explained. “I used working out to escape and to get happy.”

She added, “I’m in a space where I feel good mentally.”
