More than a month after she was shot in both of her feet after a party in Hollywood Hills, Calif., Megan Thee Stallion said for the first time on Thursday night that fellow hip-hop star Tory Lanez was the person who shot her.
On this instagram live video she stated “Yes ... Tory shot me. You shot me and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying," the 25-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Megan Pete, said on an Instagram Live video. "Stop lying. Why lie? I don't understand.”
Representatives for Lanez, a 28-year-old rapper and singer whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, did not respond to first requests for comment.
Megan saysbshe did not tell LAPD about the shooting because she was afraid of legal repercussions.
“I didn’t tell the police nothing because I didn’t want us to get in no more trouble,” she says in the video.
She said from the beginning that she expected to fully recover but said in subsequent posts but referred to it as a was “super scary ” and “the worst experience of my life,” and she felt blessed that the gunfire hit where it did.
She consistently declined to name Peterson until Thursday night, when she also tweeted, “Lie one more time and ima quit sparing you.”
