Megan Thee Stallion Opens Up About The Alleged Shooting Involving Tory Lanez Ahead Of Their Trial Later This Year

Megan Thee Stallion opened up about the alleged shooting involving Tory Lanez in a recent sit down interview with Gayle King.
Tory Lanez has been breaking his gag order given by a judge to keep Megan's name out of his mouth, tweeting about her and rapping about their legal battles in recent songs.
Now the Flamin Hottie female rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, is finally telling her side of the story as she reveals new details revolving around the alleged altercation.
After leaving a house party in the Hollywood Hills with Tory and a friend from Houston, Megan claims there was an argument in the car because she wanted to leave when others didn't.
"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 ... It shouldn't have got this crazy."
Things supposedly escalated to the point where Megan got out of the car, which she alleges led to the LUV rapper firing his gun at her several times.
She told Gayle, "All I hear is this man screaming. And he said, 'Dance, bitch.' And he started shooting. And I'm just like, 'Oh, my God.' Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared."
The CBS anchor asked her to clarify, "So is he in the car shooting from the car, Megan? How is he?"
"He is standing up over the window shooting. And I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick," the rapper explained, "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."
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office ended up charging the 29-year-old Priceless rapper with assault as well as weapon charges in connection with a shooting in late 2020.
