Megan Thee Stallion has upset the father of the late Megan Kanka after the Houston rapper quoted “Megan’s Law” in her latest song, “Hiss.”
Many took the reference as a dig at Nicki Minaj and her husband, who is a registered sex offender. “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” Meg raps on the track.
Nicki Minaj went off at Megan Thee Stallion online before responding with “Big Foot.” However, Richard Kanka reportedly finds the whole affair offensive to his daughter’s memory.
The law is named after Megan Kanaka, who was seven years old when she was raped and murdered by a neighbor in 1994. Her killer, Jesse Timmendequas, was previously convicted of assaulting two children. The law requires law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders.
Richard Kanka told TMZ that he’s not a rap fan and hasn’t heard the song. However, he is aware of the reference to Megan’s Law.
According to the outlet, Kanka objected to the usage of his daughter’s name in this disrespectful manner. TMZ says Kanka considers “using his daughter’s name in such a graphic/offensive manner” as “highly offensive to the pain his daughter and family felt.” While Megan Thee Stallion may have brought more awareness to Megan’s Law, it doesn’t change how he feels about it.
In addition, the publication reports that Kanka is “actually considering looking into his legal options to see if Meg’s track went too far.”
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj continues to wage war, teasing “4 more” songs and a possible messy remix.
