The controversy began when Davis, along with podcast hosts Alexa Adams and Lana Rhoades, discussed the romantic relationship between NBA player Torrey Craig and rapper Megan Thee Stallion. During the episode, Davis and her co-hosts questioned Craig's taste in women, particularly in light of his past relationships with women who resembled Davis herself.
The situation escalated when Davis mispronounced Megan Thee Stallion's name, a mistake that sparked further criticism from online users. The misstep was seen by some as a deliberate act of disrespect toward the rapper, fueling the accusations of bigotry.
In her response, Davis expressed surprise at the intensity of the backlash, apologizing to anyone who may have been offended by her remarks. She clarified that her mispronunciation was unintentional, explaining that English is not her first language, which sometimes leads to errors in pronouncing vowel sounds. Davis referred to the incident as a "stupid, dumb, blonde moment" and emphasized that it was not meant as a microaggression towards Megan Thee Stallion. She also pledged to be more mindful of her pronunciation in the future.
Regarding the criticism of her comments about Torrey Craig's dating preferences, Davis defended herself, stating that it was actually one of her co-hosts who brought up the controversial question. She explained that her comment was merely a confirmation that Craig had previously dated women who resembled her. Davis clarified that she harbors no ill will toward Megan Thee Stallion and even expressed admiration for the rapper, calling her "beautiful" and "big."
Davis concluded her statement by reiterating that the podcast discussion had no racial undertones and that the controversy surrounding it was misinterpreted. She maintains that her remarks were not racially motivated, and she has no personal issues with Megan Thee Stallion.
