Richard Kanka Addresses Megan Thee Stallion’s Reference Of Megan’s Law
According to TMZ, Richard Kanka isn’t happy about the rapper’s mention of the legislation inspired by his late daughter, Megan. The child was murdered on July 29, 1994, when she was seven years old.
A&E reports that Megan was raped and killed by a sex predator who lived across the street from her family. At the time, sex offenders were not required to publicly register their addresses. The enaction of Megan’s Law requires authorities to notify residents when a sex offender moves into their community, though stipulations of the legislation may vary from state to state.
According to TMZ, Richard Kanka is upset at the rapper for “dragging his late daughter’s name into the expletive-riddled song.” The father is reportedly calling Megan Thee Stallion’s actions “highly offensive.”
At the same time, however, Kanka does admit that the rapper’s mention of Megan’s Law has given it more attention.
For reference, Megan Thee Stallion raps:
“These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law,” seemingly referring to Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Penny, and his 1994 sexual assault conviction and subsequent failure to register as a sex offender in California.
Ultimately, the father has informed TMZ that he is “considering looking into his legal options to see if Meg’s track went too far.”
