Megan Thee Stallion took to social media on Thursday (Aug. 20) to finally confirm what has long been reported, that fellow rapper Tory Lanez shot her during an argument last month.
“Yes, this ni**a Tory shot me,” she said during an Instagram Live session, noting that Lanez “got his publicist and your people going to these blogs lying” about what really went down that night.
“I tried to keep the situation off the Internet. But you dragging it,” she added.

Megan denies reports that she attacked Lanez because he was getting too cozy with Kylie Jenner at a pool party they attended at the home of the reality TV star.
She goes on to say that Lanez shot her after she decided to exit the car they were in following an argument. She makes clear that the incident did not occur outside of Jenner’s home, and that a witness in the neighborhood can backup her version of what happened.
“I’m in the front seat, this ni**a in the back seat (as there were two other people in the car, her “homegirl” and Lanez’s bodyguard). “I’m done arguing,” she continued. “I don’t want to argue no more. I get out. I’m walking away, this ni**a, from out the backseat of the car, start shooting me. You shot me!”
Contrary to initial reports, Megan says she did not get cut by glass that was blown out from the bullets.
Neighbors who overheard the commotion called police, and when law enforcement arrived at the scene, Megan said they were “aggressive” and ordered everyone out of the car. That’s when ultimate fear set in, as she was scared the cops were going to shoot them.
Citing police brutality, Megan told her IG followers that she did not tell the police there was a gun in the car.
“I was scared,” she said. “You want me to tell the law that we got a gun in the car so they can shoot all us up?”

“Lol what I have learned abt the majority of the people on social media is y’all like to hear bad news before good news, a lie spreads quicker than the truth, and y’all really be believing the sh– YALL make up,” she wrote in the since-deleted post.
