Dream Con Catches Heat After Liking Tory Lanez Posts, Issues Apology to Megan Thee Stallion

Dream Con is catching serious backlash after fans caught the Black-owned entertainment convention liking Tory Lanez comments on Instagram.

The timing couldn’t be worse, Megan Thee Stallion, who Lanez was convicted of shooting in 2020, is set to speak at the event later this month.

The Instagram activity left fans confused and pissed off. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence, and Dream Con engaging with posts in his favor, while having Megan on the lineup, felt like a slap in the face.

Social media didn’t hold back. People quickly started calling out the convention for the mixed signals.

Dream Con responded with an apology posted on X.

“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. “We recognize that our actions contributed to a negative online environment, and we take full responsibility as we work toward fostering a more positive and respectful space.”

The team insisted those shady likes don’t reflect the values of the brand.

“It does not reflect Dream Con’s views, values nor support for Megan and we’re committed to creating a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for our entire community,” they continued. “Megan is not only a powerhouse in music and culture, but also a symbol of resilience and empowerment for so many around the world. We stand with her. 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.”

So far, Megan hasn’t said a word about the incident.

Whether she’ll still attend Dream Con remains unclear. However, she’s currently expected to appear for a panel and cosplay contest taking place May 30 to June 1 in Houston.
