Rapper Megan Thee Stallion is the latest female celebrity to speak out after being targeted with a sexually explicit deepfake video that circulated on X over the weekend. “It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,” Megan Thee Stallion posted on X on Saturday. The artist, whose real name is Megan Pete, appeared to be alluding to the video circulating online. She wrote it was “fake,” adding, “Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.
A spokesperson for X said the platform's 'rules prohibit the sharing of non-consensual intimate media and we are proactively removing this content.” The Elon Musk-owned platform, formerly known as Twitter, has previously been used to spread AI-generated deepfakes of celebrity women, most notably when a series of fake nude and sexually suggestive images of Taylor Swift went viral on the platform.
