Megan Thee Stallion's recent diss track against Nicki Minaj, "Hiss," has sparked controversy for referencing Megan Kanka, the inspiration behind Megan's Law, a legislation designed to protect communities from sex offenders. Richard Kanka, Megan Kanka's father, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the use of his late daughter's name in a disrespectful manner, even though Megan Thee Stallion aimed to shed light on the law. Richard finds the explicit reference offensive, emphasizing the pain his family endured due to his daughter's tragic murder.
The lyrics in question address Nicki Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender, with Megan stating, "These hoes don't be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan's Law." Richard, still haunted by the loss of his daughter, is considering exploring legal options to address the perceived crossing of boundaries in Megan's track. Despite the controversy, artists often have creative liberties in referencing historical events, making legal action challenging.
