Megan Thee Stallion Claims Tory Lanez Shot Her
In a fiery Instagram Live session on Thursday night, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that rapper Tory Lanez is indeed the person who shot her in a July 12th incident in Los Angeles. In the early hours of that day, Lanez was arrested for possessing a concealed weapon. Megan Thee Stallion and two other people were in the vehicle with him at the time of the arrest, although the shooting took place beforehand.
Megan Thee Stallion did not tell law-enforcement officers that Lanez was the shooter because of recent police violence. Megan Thee Stallion has gradually revealed details of the incident in a series of social media posts over the past few weeks. On Thursday, Megan Thee Stallion posted photos of her injured foot on Instagram but deleted them a few hours later.
Megan Thee Stallion, Lanez, his bodyguard, and an unidentified woman who is speculated to be her close friend Kelsey Nicole had attended a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood home earlier in the evening. The four were pulled over by police after a report of gunfire outside a second residence, a witness described the car they were traveling in. While initial reports said she had cut her feet on broken glass inside the car, she later claimed she was shot, but without identifying the gunman, who was widely suspected to be Lanez.
Lanez, whom Megan Thee Stallion was said to be dating, was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon.
Surveillance video footage of the arrest shows her limping from the SUV, leaving bloody footprints. Nicole said in an Instagram post last month that she was present in the car at the time, but was not the shooter. This did not happen at Kylie’s house, this happened near back at the house she was staying at. Surveillance footage of the arrest shows Lanez, the unidentified woman, and later Megan Thee Stallion lying spread-eagled on the ground near the vehicle, surrounded by multiple police cars with a helicopter hovering overheard.
Lanez was released a few hours after his arrest on a $35,000 bond. Lanez is due in court on October 13th. There has been no update in the investigation into the incident, which began last month based on Megan Thee Stallion’s claims in an earlier Instagram post. Lanez has kept a low profile since the incident. The incident has done little to slow her fast-rising career.
Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B released the smash single “WAP” earlier this month, and she hopes to release her debut full-length album by the end of this summer.
