Megan Thee Stallion is busy touring across North America for her ongoing Hot Girl Summer Tour, but despite her garnering success from left to right, some people continue to tarnish her reputation and even allegedly use her face for a deepfake video.

The musician was among the celebrities who have been involved in AI-generated video controversy, as there has been a now-deleted sex tape circulating on social media that seemingly featured the "Body" hitmaker's face.

The rapper took to X to address the controversy and sternly warned those who continue to use her face in such videos.

"It's really sick how y'all go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning," she wrote, adding, "Y'all going too far, Fake ass s***. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it."

According to Uproxx, the origin of the video has not been traced, but it went viral on social media after Mílagro Gramz liked the re-uploaded version on X.

Megan's fans immediately took to the reply section to tag the rapper and asked her to take legal action against these videos.

As of this writing, it's unclear whether Megan Thee Stallion will file a lawsuit.

The "WAP" hitmaker wasn't the first celebrity entangled in such controversy as her good friend, Cardi B, previously addressed an AI-generated video exploiting her likeness.

In a clip that went viral last year, the rapper appeared to be promoting a health spending card that gives people a chance to have financial security by dispersing $16,000.

"It's your girl Cardi, and imma show you how to put $16,000 in your pocket right now for free," an AI-generated voice said in the video.

The "Bongos" musician wasn't happy with the clip and threatened to file a lawsuit against the creators, writing, "AI is crazy, smh... another lawsuit that fell right on my lap...I love easy money."

In other updates about Megan, the rapper is currently on tour with her supporting act, GloRilla. Her next show is scheduled for June 10, 2024, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA.

She will continue performing in different cities across North America, including Austin, Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and more. Megan also has a few shows in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Her final show is set at the O2 in London, UK, on July 17, 2024, but she will also perform at the Broccoli City Festival in Washington, DC, on July 27.

More details are available on her official website.
