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.”
Deepfakes refer to digital media that are generated or altered using artificial intelligence or other visual or audio manipulation tools. Some of the most prominent examples “face-swap” individuals, overwhelmingly women and girls, into pornographic or sexually suggestive material. Both public and private figures have been targeted, and deepfake creators can even profit from selling the material online.
A spokesperson for Roc Nation, which represents Megan Thee Stallion, declined to comment.
