She began by agreeing that she felt the comments were being misunderstood. “I’ve never been called a racist in my entire life,” she explained. “So, it’s just like a little bit of a shock to me.

As for the viral clip, her podcast co-hosts Alexa Adams and Lana Rhoades brought up that Davis’ ex, Torrey Craig, is rumored to be dating the rapper. “Where do I start?” she said. “Do I start with the one where my ex is dating the Magan Thee Stallion? Mag Thee Stallion? What’s her name? […] I can’t even get mad, though ‘cause it’s like, damn, that’s kind of a flex. I can’t even be mad at that all.”

Olivia Davis Speaks Out

Davis continued to TMZ: “I know her name, obliviously. It was just a stupid dumb blonde moment in the moment during our podcast. And I actually do have an issue with pronouncing vowels sometimes. And I’m not gonna play the victim or use this as an excuse because I am foreign. I didn’t even speak English when I came here.” She concluded by describing it as an “honest mistake” and said that she was a fan of Megan’s music.
