Yung Joc Issues Apology to Megan Thee Stallion Over Tory Lanez Support
Yung Joc is making amends with Megan Thee Stallion following his earlier support for Tory Lanez during the Canadian artist's legal troubles. A recent clip from his Atlanta radio show, Yung Joc & the Streetz Morning Takeover, revealed a change of heart as he addressed his past stance.
Last year, Joc famously bet his hair that Lanez would be acquitted, a bet he lost when Lanez was found guilty.

The shift in Joc's attitude came shortly after Megan Thee Stallion appeared on Shannon Sharpe's Club Shay Shay podcast, where Sharpe apologized for previous inappropriate comments about the Houston rapper.

Prompted by co-host Mz. Shyneka on the radio show, Joc acknowledged his misjudgment and offered a public apology to Megan.
Joc expressed. Reflecting on his bet, he admitted:
"I'ma make my apology to Meg Thee Stallion, too. I apologize for not supporting you in your moment and believing in the whole situation with you and Tory Lanez. I still have questions, 'cause I'm human. I think that the moment when I made the bet–although we did it in a fun kinda way–maybe, just maybe, I was out of line for doing that."

However, not all voices on the show shared Joc's sentiment. Co-host Shawty Shawty maintained his support for Tory Lanez, concluding with a plea of "Free Tory Lanez," highlighting the ongoing divisions in public opinion.
Despite Joc's attempt at reconciliation, some social media users criticized his apology as overdue and insincere, suggesting Megan Thee Stallion now holds the decision on whether to accept it or not.
This situation underscores the complexities within the hip-hop community and beyond, where public figures' statements and actions can have lasting impacts on their relationships and reputations.
As Joc navigates this controversy, his journey toward understanding and accountability continues amidst ongoing discussions about justice and solidarity within the industry.
