The first time going public with the alleged shooting by Tory Lanez, Megan Thee Stallion took her story to network television.
Airing on Monday (April 25), In a preview clip of her emotional interview with CBS Mornings, the Houston rapper (born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete) recounted the July 2020 incident in which she claims Lanez shot her in the foot following a party in the Hollywood Hills.
“It was an argument, because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn’t ready to go. But that’s, like, normal friend stuff,” Megan tells co-host Gayle King. “We fuss about silly stuff all the time. But I never put my hands on anybody. I never raised my voice too loud. Like, this was one of them times where it was, like, it shouldn’t have got this crazy.”
Born Daystar Peterson, Lanez who has not yet pleaded guilty stands accused of one count of assault with a firearm and another gun possession charge over the 2020 incident.
In her initial statement, Stallion told police that she cut her foot stepping on broken glass, but later came clean and revealed that she’d suffered a gunshot wound. But after media outlets reported that Lanez had fired the gun, Megan accused him via an August 2020 Instagram video.
During her CBS Mornings interview, Megan confirmed the testimony she gave during a pre-trial hearing in December 2021 that Lanez yelled “Dance, bitch!” as he opened fire around her feet.
“So I get out of the car and it’s like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, ‘Dance, bitch,’” Stallion tells King. “And he started shooting. And I’m just like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared.” “He is standing up over the window shooting. And I didn’t even want to move. I didn’t want to move too quick… If I take the wrong step, I don’t know if he’s gonna shoot something that’s, like, super important. I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me… I was really scared ’cause I had never been shot at before,” she added.
Earlier this month, Lanez was handcuffed and put in custody during a court hearing after a judge ruled that the male musician violated court orders in the criminal case, saying certain social media posts had breached court orders that required him to avoid any contact with Stallion as the case proceeds.
