This is extremely lovely: Rihanna sent Megan Thee Stallion some gorgeous flowers and a super sweet note, after Meg was shot in both feet earlier this month. Megan, a Savage x Fenty brand partner, shared a photo of herself modeling Rihanna's lingerie brand (looking completely incredible, unsurprisingly), as well as a snap of Riri's gift.

"Wishing you a full and speedy recovery, Meg!" the note, sent from "Rihanna and the Fenty Corp gang," read. "Just know you've got a whole crew over here sending good vibes your way!" Megan, Rihanna—I cannot begin to tell you how invested I am in this friendship.

Megan opened up about being shot on Instagram Live earlier this week, sharing the harrowing specifics of her injuries and calling out those who made jokes about her trauma. "I was shot in both of my feet and I had to get surgery to get the shit taken out, to get the bullets taken out. And it was super scary," she said. "It was just the worst experience of my life and it’s not funny."

"It’s nothing to joke about. It was nothing for y’all to start going and making up fake stories about. I didn’t put my hands on nobody. I didn’t deserve to get shot. I didn't do shit," Megan continued. "I just want y’all to know a bitch is alive and well, and strong as fuck, and I’m ready to get back to regular programming with my own hot girl shit."
