Dream Con issues apology to Megan Thee Stallion after liking posts supporting Tory Lanez
Things went downhill shortly after when Dream Con’s followers noticed the account had been liking posts pertaining to Lanez, who allegedly shot Megan on July 12, 2020. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in 2022. The posts that were liked by Dream Con’s social media team suggested that Lanez may be innocent.

In response to the criticism for interacting with shady comments aimed at Megan, Dream Con released a statement on its Instagram story and X, formerly Twitter.
“We love and support Megan Thee Stallion. We’re deeply sorry for the recent activity on our social media platforms that involved liking and engaging with negative comments directed at her,” the statement read in part.
“Moving forward, we are implementing stricter oversight for our social media team to uphold the standards of respect that everyone in our community deserves and to ensure this never happens again,” it added.
