The film “The Rapper Who Got Shot in the Heel” has ignited a firestorm of criticism for its portrayal of a real-life shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion.

In a move that has sparked both controversy and outright mockery online, a film inspired by the shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion and rapper Tory Lanez has been released, much to the discontent of some of her hardcore fans.

The film, provocatively titled “The Rapper Who Got Shot in the Heel,” has quickly become the subject of widespread criticism and jest across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), where the movie poster first went viral.

The production’s announcement comes amid an ongoing legal battle and public discourse concerning the July 2020 incident, where Megan Thee Stallion was shot in the foot, an event she alleges was perpetrated by Tory Lanez.

Tory Lanez has since appealed his 10-year prison sentence prison over the assault. Yet, the decision to dramatize these events into a movie has struck a nerve with many who view it as trivializing a serious matter.

On platforms such as X, fans and observers expressed their dismay through a barrage of comments and memes about the movie, which centers around the drama between Raven The Stallion (Ivy Christiana) and Cory Gainz (director, Alvin Gray).

“I really am that bored that I paid the $1.99 for that movie ‘The Rapper that Got Shot in the Heel.’ Yeah they got me 🥴🤦🏾‍♂️🫠 This s### is super trash,” one angry user wrote of the 51-minute movie, while another said: “Yes I chose to watch “the rapper who got shot in the heel..” I’m experiencing second hand embarrassment watching this.”

Critics argue that making light of the situation or seeking to profit from it disrespects Megan Thee Stallion’s experience and undermines the gravity of violence against women, especially Black women, in the entertainment industry.

Despite the backlash, the film’s production team has issued statements claiming the movie aims to bring awareness to the challenges female rappers face, including violence.

However, these intentions have done little to quell the outrage or the flood of sarcastic responses online since the full length film debuted on Amazon prime.
