Megan Thee Stallionโs fans were outraged at Steve Harvey for asking her a question about โfeetโ on Tuesdayโs season premiere of Celebrity Family Feud.
The appearance came almost four years to the day after Megan, 29, was shot in the feet by her ex-lover Tory Lanez outside a party in the Hollywood Hills.
Tory was convicted of three felonies in connection to the shooting and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence as a result.
However the incident seemed to have slipped Steveโs mind on Celebrity Family Feud, where he asked Megan to name โsomething youโve done to your partnerโs feet.โย
Megan took the question good-naturedly, answering: โMassageโ โ but her admirers flocked to social media to blast the game show over the โdiabolical asfโ prompt.
โThey really asked Megan Thee Stallion a question about FEET on Celebrity Family Feud..,โ wrote one dumbfounded fan on X, formerly Twitter, with crying emoji.ย
โProducers mustโve known she was allegedly shot in the foot by Tory Lanez.โ
Another marveled: โnow why tf would they ask that,โ while a third demanded: โDoes he not know thatโs a sensitive subject for her?โ
Social media commentators described the question as โmessyโ and reacted with expressions of incredulity like: โWHATTTโ and: โOMG?โ
One X user accused Steve of โviolating lines asking that question bro,โ as another theorized: โNaaa Steve Harvey put that question in for freaky reason.โ
Three months after the shooting, Megan wrote an op-ed arguing that black women โare still constantly disrespected and disregarded in so many areas of life.โ
She added that โas a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment,โ in her piece for the New York Times in October 2020.
โThe way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.โ
In that op-ed, she claimed she was โnot in a relationshipโ with Tory, although she later disclosed at trial that she had been sexually involved with him.ย
While testifying against Tory, Megan grew emotional on the stand, saying: โI donโt want to live. I wish he had just shot and killed me if I had to go through this torture.โ
Tory was ultimately convicted in December 2022, and the following August he received a sentence of 10 years without possibility of parole.ย
By this weekโs Celebrity Family Feud, Megan seemed to have put the shooting behind her, retaining a cheerful disposition in spite of the โfeetโ question.
She went viral that evening for cheekily answering โmeโ when Steve asked her to name something that might be curvy.
Meganย insisted that she should be on the board and proudly spun around showing her curvy figure in her strapless red leather bustier and leather pants.
โItโs true!โ Megan said.
โMegan Thee Stallion should be the answer!โ Megan said.
Megan then got excited when the answer โmeโ to the question of naming something that might be curvy actually got her 48 points.
The three-time Grammy-winning rap superstar was playing for the nonprofit group AVDA, a charity for aiding survivors of domestic violence, and went up against Ne-Yo, also a Grammy winner, and his family.
Steve started the show by telling Megan that his wife and daughters love her.
โOh, my god, we made it to Family Feud!โ Megan yelled in delight.
Megan brought along her manager Travis Farris and her best friends Jaela Mitchell, Kellon Williams, and Bryon Javar to compete for her team.ย
Ne-Yo, also a three-time Grammy-winning artist, brought his mother Lorraine Smith, his sister Nicole Smith, his brother Jayvon Smith, and Jayvonโs wife Antonia Soobyia for his team. He said he was playing for the charity Friendship Place that gives support to the homeless.
Megan and Ne-Yo were the first to face off against each other. Steve said they asked 100 married people to name something they had done to their mateโs feet and asked them to guess what the most popular response was.
โMassage,โ Megan said.
Her answer turned out to be the top answer on the board.
โPass or Play,โ Steve asked.
Megan said they were going to play.
โWeโre going to play!โ Megan said.
Travis went next and guessed โcut their toenailsโ and Megan was shocked.
Pedicure was actually on the board. Jaela went next.
โSuck them, Steve,โ Jaela said.
It wasnโt on the board so Kellon guessed โsmelled themโ and he was right. Bryon went last and said โmoved themโ but that wasnโt on the board either.
โPlay footsies,โ Megan guessed but it wasnโt on the board. Ne-Yoโs team then got a chance to steal.
โHow about kiss them,โ Ne-Yo said.
His answer wasnโt on the board so Meganโs team won the round.
For the second question, Travis faced off against Ne-Yoโs mother Lorraine. Steve asked them to name something in the refrigerator that a cheap guy might use in his hair instead of styling gel.
Lorraine suggested butter but Travis won with mayonnaise. Jaela suggested a man might put relish in his hair but that wasnโt on the board. Kellon said Aloe Vera and Bryon said sour cream but neither of their guesses were there.
Ne-Yoโs team guessed eggs and ended up winning the round.
Next, Jaela went up against Nicole with the question to name an alcoholic beverage that would be had poolside. Jaela guessed a Long Island iced tea, but Nicole guessed a margarita. Jayvon guessed Pina colada and his wife guessed beer and both answers were there. Jayvon said Hennessy for his second guess.
โYou canโt hide the hood,โ Steve said. โYou tried to act like you werenโt in the hood, but everyone in the hood went โthatโs right.โ
Unfortunately his answer wasnโt there and Megan got a chance to steal guessing a sex on the beach, but it wasnโt on the board either.
Meganโs team got to play the next round guessing what fruit starts with the letter C and they won the entire round guessing right each time. Megan jumped around and was so excited they made it to the final round.
Megan then played Fast Money with Steve. He asked her what a flight attendant would hate to come into the cockpit and find the pilot and copilot and she said โdead.โ
โWhen you say you are taking a quick shower how many minutes is it?โ Steve said.
โAn hour,โ Megan said.
โName something a dog sees that makes it growl,โ Steve said.
โAnother dog,โ Megan said.
โFill in the blank, blank and eggs,โ Steve said.
โBacon and eggs,โ Megan said.
โName something that might be curvy,โ Steve said.
โMe,โ Megan said.
Steve loved the answer and immediately started clapping.ย
Megan then turned around and posed for the audience.
Her answer surprisingly gained her 48 points.ย ย
Megan ended up getting a respectable 125 points for her team.
Her friend Bryon went next and when the curvy question came up, he also answered โMeganโ.ย
Since the answer already had been provided, he then offered the answer โroadโ.
Bryon ended up scoring enough points for Megan and her team to win the $25,000 for her charity.
Megan danced around in celebration as they won and then mingled with her friends and Ne-Yo and his family.ย
Celebrity Family Feud will return next week on ABC.
