Megan Thee Stallion explained during a defamation case why she declined an offer to be a character in the Call of Duty video game. She turned it down after realizing she would be a shootable character, particularly in light of her ongoing case with Tory Lanez. Joe Budden reacted to this on his podcast, which led to backlash.

Without additional context, it’s unclear whether Budden meant he would have bought the game to support Meg or if he suggested something more sinister. As of now, neither he nor his podcast team has publicly addressed the controversy.
