MEGAN THEE STALLION SHARED THE EMOTIONAL DETAILS OF THE NIGHT SHE WAS SHOT
Megan Thee Stallion sat down with Gayle King on CBS Mornings to explain what transpired the night she was shot.
The rap superstar explained the events leading up to and surrounding the July 12 incident in which rapper Tory Lanez, allegedly attacked Megan Thee Stallion with a loaded firearm, striking each of her feet.
“I feel like my anxiety is worse. I feel like my relationship with people has gotten very cold ‘cause I’m not as trusting as I used to be,” Megan told King. “I’ve got this wall and I don’t want to make any friends. And I’m trying to be as nice as I can to everybody.”
“[With] new people, I probably won’t even hold a conversation longer than 30 minutes ‘cause I feel like every time I’m talking, I’m on the verge of tears and I don’t want to have to explain to strangers why I’m crying,” she explained.
“I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud,” She said. “This was one of [those] times where it shouldn’t have gotten this crazy.”
Additionally, Megan explained that an argument broke out between her, former friend Kelsey Harris, and rapper Tory Lanez because she was ready to go and everyone else was not.
“That’s normal friend stuff,” she explained. “We fuss about silly stuff all the time.”
Once they were finally leaving, the argument took a turn for the worst inside the vehicle.
“I asked the driver to pull over and let me out of the car. Like, ‘I’m done with this.’ I should have stayed out of the car,” she said. “I should not have gotten back in the car.” She said the other parties in the car repeatedly asked her to get back into the car, but unfortunately, the argument only intensified.
“I don’t want to be in this car no more, because I see it’s getting crazy,” she said, deciding to exit once again.
Upon getting out the car the second time, she states that Tory Lanez allegedly antagonized her.
“So I get out of the car, and everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming; he says ‘dance b*tch,’ and starts shooting. And I’m like ‘Oh my God.’”
Megan says she was initially unsure what had happened, so after police arrived, she says she was focused on the protection of everyone.
“There were so many of them, there were helicopters, and I just thought ‘Oh my God, we’re all about to die,’” she said. “The George Floyd incident had just happened, the police are very much ‘shoot first, ask questions after,’ so I think, there’s a hot gun in the car, I am bleeding, I’ve been shot…they’re about to kill somebody. Something bad is about to happen.”
As a result, Megan told authorities that she stepped on glass when they arrived. Eventually, the doctors disclosed to police that they had to remove bullet fragments from each of her feet. Megan is constantly reminded of the terrible incident as many bullet fragments remain in her foot to this day.
