Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has publicly accused fellow rapper and singer Tory Lanez of shooting her in the feet after an argument last month. Megan made the Instagram last Thursday during an Instagram Live on her personal account.
“You shot me,” she claims against Lanez “And you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and sh*t. Stop lying. Why lie? I don’t understand.” At the time of the incident, Lanez was arrested and charged with possession of a concealed weapon but has not faced charges for the alleged shooting. Lanez has also not yet commented on the allegations made by Megan Thee Stallion.
The Los Angeles District Attorney has stated that the investigation is ongoing regarding the scene last month. A traffic stop was conducted by the police, where Megan sustained her injuries. She later was taken to a local hospital, where she claims she had surgery to remove the bullets from her feet.
Reports initially surfaced that Megan’s injuries stemmed from broken glass, but she explained in her Instagram Live video that she was fearful of telling the police what really happened due to all the situations of police brutality in past months. “You think I’m about to tell police that we … us, Black people, got a gun in the car?” she said. “You want me to tell the law that we got a gun in the car so that they can shoot all of us up.”
Celebrities such as Halle Berry and Michael Jordan have come out in support of Megan Thee Stallion speaking up. The situation continues to develop.
