Comedian Hannah Berner has publicly apologized to rapper Megan Thee Stallion following controversial comments made during an interview at Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party. In the interview, Berner stated that she listens to Megan’s music when she wants to “fight someone,” a remark that was widely criticized as insensitive, given Megan’s past experiences with violence.

Acknowledging the backlash, Berner took to Instagram to express regret for her “careless choice of words,” clarifying that there was no ill intent behind her comment. She emphasized her admiration for Megan’s empowering music and apologized for any offense caused.

The incident has sparked broader discussions about microaggressions and the importance of cultural sensitivity, especially when addressing individuals’ traumatic experiences. Critics argue that such comments can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and overlook the nuanced narratives of those affected.

As of now, Megan Thee Stallion has not publicly responded to Berner’s apology. The controversy highlights the need for greater awareness and respect in interactions, particularly when engaging with topics related to personal trauma and societal issues.
