It is the season of giving, and Alicia Keys is all about that!
The phenomenal songstress needs little introduction as one of the greatest powerhouse vocalists of her generation. With over 100 wins in her name, the classically trained pianist is a living legend.
Aside from her successful career, the 41-year-old is a well-known philanthropist and humanitarian. The mother-of-two showed that side of her when she decided to give her voice to defend Megan Thee Stallion.
Megan Thee Stallion Receives Love From Alicia Keys
It is a difficult period for the "Savage" rapper, who is currently being pitted against Tory Lanez in court. The 27-year-old accused the "Say It" artist of shooting her in the foot during an altercation in 2020.
Two years after the alleged incident, Lanez and Megan are battling it out in a highly-anticipated trial to find the truth. Although a verdict has not been given, the majority have chosen their sides.
Some folks believe in the "In For It" rapper's innocence, while others are in the Houston native's corner. A few celebrities have openly shown their support, such as Keys, who recently encouraged Megan to stay strong.
On her Instagram Story, the "Girl on Fire" singer shared a passionately penned post by the celebrity news blog, Unbothered. The write-up featured a picture of the Grammy-winning rapper in a transparent green dress.
The voluptuous goddess looked breathtaking with her famous assets on display and completed her hot girl vibes with fierce makeup and perfectly manicured nails. Over the Billboard chart-topper's sexy image was a text box with a powerful message. The tweet read:
"Friendly (but necessary) reminder that our girl Megan @theestallion is NOT, in fact, on trial. Nothing but support for her during this stressful time!"
Alongside this beautiful post, Keys added numerous purple heart emojis in her Instagram Story update and tagged the Unbothered blog as well as the Houston rapper. Although she did not share her own words, the pianist's love for Megan was crystal clear.
Naturally, having the 15-time Grammy winner in one's corner would make anyone happy. However, the powerhouse vocalist was not the only celebrity in the rapper's corner. Per The Blast, Julia Fox similarly supported Megan.
The Italian-American actress, infamously known as Kanye "Ye" West's ex-girlfriend, expressed her stance in the shooting drama on her Instagram Story. On December 14, the "Uncut Gems" star shared three promotional photos of the 27-year-old entertainer.
Fox did not tag these pictures with any Captions, but her post proved she supported the "Thot Shit" rapper amid her battle with Lanez. The caramel-toned beauty first accused the 30-year-old of inflicting bodily harm in August 2020.
During an Instagram Live session, Megan publicly identified the rapper as her shooter by saying, "Yes, this n**** Tory shot me." Additionally, the AMA winner claimed her attacker's publicist attempted to spread false information about the incident and her injuries.
Tory Lanez Allegedly Tried To Bribe The Billboard Chart-Topper With Hush Money
The plot in Lanez's assault case continues to keep fans at the edge of their seats as The Blast previously reported that the 30-year-old rapper tried to silence Megan with hush money.
December 12 marked the second day of the viral trial, and it was an emotional moment as the "Body" rapper arrived in court to give her side of the story. The Houston native's recount left many in tears and mouths agape with a shocking revelation.
The 27-year-old pulled up at the trial, looking like a queen in a purple suit and a chic bob hairstyle. However, her bold entrance was nowhere to be found when the Texas Southern University graduate took the stand. While fighting back the tears, Megan recalled the 2020 incident that left her with a bullet in her foot.
According to the "WAP" rapper, her friend Kelsey Harris got into a heated argument with Lanez, causing her to exit their vehicle. The next thing she heard was her attacker shouting, "Dance b**ch," before firing a gun at her.
Following the incident, the Houston native revealed that the 30-year-old tried to bribe her with a million dollars. Lanez reportedly told Megan not to say anything because the shooting occurred while he was on probation.
