Rapper Megan Thee Stallion Calls Out Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron & He Responds to her Saturday Night Live performance that touched on how he handled of the Breonna Taylor case.
While making her debut as the SNL musical guest for the season 46 opener on Saturday, the Houston rapper played a snippet of activist Tamika Mallory’s objection of Cameron’s actions during her rendition of “Savage.”
The 34-year-old Republican, who is the first African-American attorney general of Kentucky, claimed the cops involved in the fatal shooting of the 26-year-old EMT were “justified” in their actions. His presentation of the case led a grand jury to decide not to indict a single officer in direct connection to Taylor’s killing.
“Daniel Cameron is no different than the sellout negroes that sold our people into slavery,” Mallory said in the audio while her words flashed on the black-and-white screen, before Megan pleaded, “We need to protect our Black women and love our Black women ’cause at the end of the day, we need our Black women.”
Megan Thee Stallion Daniel Cameron beef has now escalated with the AG reacting to her statements.
Calling Megan’s comments “disgusting,” Cameron used an appearance Tuesday on Fox News’ Fox & Friends to respond, saying that he was being attacked “because I’m a Black Republican, because I stand up for truth and justice as opposed to giving in to a mob mentality,” as reported by Stereogum.
“Let me just say that I agree that we need to love and protect our Black women,” Cameron said. “But the fact that someone would get on national television and make disparaging comments about me because I’m simply trying to do my job is disgusting.
“The fact that a celebrity that I never met before wants to make those sorts of statements, they don’t hurt me but what it does is it exposed the type of intolerance, and the hypocrisy because obviously, people preach about being intolerant,” he continued. “You hear a lot of that from the left about being tolerant. But what you saw there is inconsistent with tolerance. In fact, it’s her [spreading] intolerance because I’ve decided to stand up for truth and justice.”
Cameron also said that the officers were justified in returning fire because Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, had fired a warning shot.
“The tragedy, and I’ve said this from the beginning, was that Breonna Taylor was in that hallway next to Kenneth Walker when they returned fire and they hit her,” he said. “No one disputes that this is a tragedy, but sometimes our criminal law is inadequate to respond to a tragedy. Again, my heart goes out to Breonna Taylor’s family.”
None of the three policemen involved in Taylor’s shooting were indicted or charged in connection with her death.
