Chance The Rapper defends Megan Markle over 'bullying' controversy
Chance The Rapper's response comes after a feature in the British daily newspaper The Times claimed that the Duchess of Sussex was named as a bully by one of her close advisers during her time as a working royal at Kensington Palace. According to the news outlet, Megan Markle drove two of her personal assistants out of Kensington Palace while also "undermining" the confidence of a third staff member. Another report had claimed that Meghan Markle allegedly wore earrings gifted to her by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, soon after the murder of Saudi based US journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Twitter users were infuriated with the release of such sensational stories, where many have criticised the outlet and other English media channels for attacking Megan Markle to generate controversy and disturb the harmony of the Royal Family just prior to Megan and Harry's interview with Oprah. British solicitor Nazir Afzal said on Twitter, “5 White Men discussing how Meghan Markle killed Khashoggi with her earrings, bullied people like the Home Secretary, & has scared the living daylights out of the establishment without having said anything, yet. Misogyny & Racism is a toxic mix.”
