Megan Thee Stallion's Wildest Award Show Moments

On July 12, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion's life changed in a matter of seconds. That was the night that Canadian rapper Tory Lanez allegedly shot her foot while they were in the Hollywood Hills. As reported by TMZ, the rappers got into an altercation inside an SUV after attending a house party, "someone fired shots in the air," Lanez was arrested, and Meg was taken to the hospital. As of July 2021, the case has yet to be resolved legally, but Megan was granted a restraining order against Lanez.

As Us Weekly noted, Megan Thee Stallion appeared in public for the first time since the shooting at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 30, 2020. She won the Best Hip Hop Video for "Savage," and like many other winners that night, she accepted the trophy virtually. Oh, and she had quite the prop too — and we're not talking about the Moon Person statuette. 

For her acceptance speech video, Megan had a pink bottle of champagne in hand. At one point, she popped the cork, which officially made the speech one of her wild award show moments. "This is my second moon man, definitely not my last," she said after giggling a bit. The "Suga" creator then poured out some of the bubbly while telling viewers that "We're going to keep turning up." It was a true rockstar moment for Megan and it also showed how resilient she is, considering the harrowing incident that she was involved in just weeks prior.
