The SoFi concerts were memorable for ARMYs for many reasons, one of which was BTS’s first live performance with Megan Thee Stallion. The rapper featured on a remixed version of BTS’s 2021 global hit track “Butter,” which immediately became all the rave among fans. Her surprise appearance in the live concert was also received with much enthusiasm and love.

In the interviews of the BTS members, where they talked about Megan’s guest appearance on their show, they had nothing but praise for the rapper. While Jimin recalled her innocent temperament, Jungkook said he “really appreciated” Megan for coming, “even though her leg is hurting.”

Jungkook’s comment touched fans, who believe that he was referring to the rapper’s injuries from being shot the year before. In 2020, she was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez, who was given a 10-year prison sentence in 2023 after a harrowing legal battle. During the case’s duration, Megan Thee Stallion was targeted and victim-blamed by many, including some prominent musical artists. So, seeing Jungkook acknowledge her pain and perseverance with so much kindness and grace touched the hearts of ARMYs.

to everyone confused .. megan has stated in court that she has nerve damage in her foot due to her being sh0t… so mostly likely it was linked to that which :/…. https://t.co/hyjvGDm3fz
