Fans of Megan Thee Stallion are trying to shift the public’s attention away from what they believe to be a misogynistic narrative around the current trial against Tory Lanez, who is accused of shooting the rapper in the foot.

A top French appeals court is to rule today on whether alleged Rwandan genocide financier Felicien Kabuga will stand trial in France or face a UN tribunal in Tanzania.
Kabuga, who is 84 but claims to be 87, was arrested in May at his home outside Paris after 25 years on the run.
In 1994, the Rwandan genocide of some 800,000 (eight hundred thousand) people by Hutu extremists targeted rival Tutsis as well as moderate Hutus.
Kabuga, who was once one of Rwanda's richest men, is alleged to have funnelled money to militia groups.
He is also accused of setting up a militia that carried out massacres as well as radio broadcasts inciting people to murder.
A French court ruled in June that he should stand trial in Tanzania but his lawyers appealed, citing fears that an African UN tribunal would be biased.
Kabuga has diabetes, high blood pressure and leukoaraiosis, an incurable illness that erodes physical and cognitive abilities, his lawyer said.
He participated in a panel about misogyny in hip-hop.

Protesters gathered outside the Casablanca Appeal Court on Tuesday, as Moroccan investigative journalist and human rights activist Omar Radi appeared to be questioned by an examining magistrate.
Radi was first tried in March and was given a four-month suspended sentence after he was arrested for a tweet in which he criticized a judge for upholding heavy prison sentences against government protestors.
He is charged with \"harming internal security\" and \"receiving foreign funds\". He is also accused of rape. He has been in prison since July 29 and has denied all accusations.
Outside the court, Omar's parents joined journalists and human rights activists demanding the release of Radi and criticizing what they call an attack to the freedom of expression in Morocco.
They also called on Moroccan authorities to drop all the charges against the journalist to allow him to carry on with his work.
Omar investigated suspected corruption and links between political and business interests in Morocco, according to Amnesty International. He was also a prominent critic of the country's human rights record.
Omar's father, Driss Radi said that he does not understand why his son has been detained.
\"All the charges against my son are fabricated and no one believes them\", he added.
Many journalists attended the protest, including Oussi Mouh Lahcen, who said that \"the way the state is dealing with the press now is not bearing fruit\", calling for a change in the authorities' \"approach\".
In January this year, the Moroccan Human Rights League warned of an assault on freedom of expression in the country following the arrest over recent months of 15 journalists, bloggers, rappers and social media users.
In a report published on June, Amnesty International said Moroccan journalist Omar Radi's phone was tapped as part of the government's efforts to clamp down on dissent.
This was \"categorically refuted\" by Moroccan authorities, who said the accusations were \"unfounded.\"

It's been a traumatic week for Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper was not feeling people making light of the fact she was shot, that didn't stop 50 Cent for doing what he does best, and that is trolling on social media.
In light of his recently released album, Megan Thee Stallion has hired lawyers accusing Tory Lanez of launching a smear campaign to discredit her in naming him the shooter on July 12.
It’s the result scientists were hoping for. The first covid-19 vaccine trial in the United States revived people’s immune system, researchers reported Tuesday.
“They’re phase one studies, but it’s a good first step. It looks as though the vaccine generated a vigorous immune response. We like that. We think that’s going to be associated with protection. A couple of notes: this is a two dose vaccine. And there were some people who had sore arms and a little bit of fever and some fatigue, et cetera. Small price to pay for protection against COVID, I would think. So there’s nothing there that would inhibit us from going on to larger trials. And they’re currently underway”, Dr. William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University said.
But researchers are treading cautiously as they begin to try the vaccine on older people.
“It’s a careful stepwise way of doing it. First, a smaller group of younger people. Then you expand it to older people since it worked very well in the younger group. And we’ll have to see how the older persons respond. We know that they generally don’t respond as well as younger people to vaccines. So, this is something we’ll look at very carefully. It’s probably one of the reasons this is a two dose vaccine, because we clearly want to protect older people and people who are frail with chronic underlying illnesses”, Dr. Schaffner added.
The 30,000-person study will mark the world’s largest study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine so far. Nearly two dozen possible COVID-19 vaccines are in various stages of testing around the world.
When news dropped that Tory Lanez was arrested on a weapons charge and Megan Thee Stallion, it was all jokes, but it turns out that night was dangerously serious for the \"Hot Girl.\"

The shooting of Walter Scott occurred on April 4, 2015, in North Charleston, South Carolina, following a daytime traffic stop for a non-functioning brake light. Scott, an unarmed black man, was fatally shot by Michael Slager, a white North Charleston police officer. The race difference led many to believe that the shooting was racially motivated, generating a widespread controversy.[1] Slager was charged with murder after a video surfaced which showed him shooting Scott from behind while Scott was fleeing, and which contradicted his police report.
The case was independently investigated by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of South Carolina, and the Justice Departments Civil Rights Division are conducting their own investigations.
In June 2015, a South Carolina grand jury indicted Slager on a charge of murder. He was released on bond in January 2016. In late 2016, a five-week trial ended in a mistrial due to a hung jury.
In May 2016, Slager was indicted on federal charges including violation of Scotts civil rights and obstruction of justice.
On May 2, 2017, in a plea agreement, Slager pled guilty to federal charges of civil rights violations.[2] [3] In return for his guilty plea, murder charges from the state will be dropped.[2] [3] The guilty plea carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.[4]
Walter Lamar Scott[note 1] (February 9, 1965 – April 4, 2015),[6] a 50-year-old black man, was a forklift operator, studying massage therapy.[7] [8] [9] Scott previously served two years in the U.S. Coast Guard before being given a general discharge in 1986 for a drug-related incident.[10]
Michael Thomas Slager (born November 14, 1981),[11] 33 years old at the time of the incident, served in the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) for five years and five months prior to the shooting. Before becoming a police officer, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard.[12]
