Speculations were on Cardi B, Dua Lipa, or even Denzel Curry. It’s perhaps unfair to expect a guest appearance from an artist, but it was certainly atypical for Megan to perform alone for the whole set as a headliner. Following “Plan B,” Megan took a break and said to the crowd, “Y’all make me feel so mothafuckinggood. Megan joined the dancers for fiery choreography during Nicki Minaj’s verses, and the DJ turned the music down so that the crowd could sing the key line “I want you to touch that lil’ dangly thing that swing in the back of my throat.” She called out to the crowd, “Where my hot girls at?” signifying that her performance served not just to showcase her confidence, but also to boost the confidence of her thousands of adoring fans. Revealing a costume change, Megan moved on to “Freak Nasty,” maintaining the same level of sexy intensity from the opener. As the crowd began to scream, Megan thee Stallion appeared at center-stage.

Megan Thee Stallion is giving her first TV interview about Tory Lanez allegedly shooting her in the feet in 2020, opening up to CBS' Gayle King.

Following months of speculation and publicity surrounding the incident, Lanez was charged in October 2020. So when I see people try to use that against me, to say I was lying … I was lying to protect all of us. Megan Thee Stallion said Lanez offered her money in exchange for her silence in the aftermath. I didn't want to move too quick. … I didn't even want to move. Speaking through tears, she said: "But I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud.

Megan Thee Stallion Details Alleged Tory Lanez Shooting: 'He Said ... (Variety)

For the first time, Megan Thee Stallion gave a detailed public account of the incident in which Tory Lanez allegedly shot her in the feet.

Megan said cause of the argument, which escalated quickly, was completely mundane: “The argument was because I was ready to [leave the party] and everyone else wasn’t ready to go. And I didn’t even want to move. Lanez was arrested in connection with the incident and later was arrested again for allegedly violating court orders from contacting her; he posted bail in both cases. And he said, “Dance, bitch.” And he started shooting. The report, which has been obtained by Variety, makes multiple references to gunshot wounds and bullet fragments in her feet, sometimes but not always hedged as “suspected gunshot wounds.” She said her instinct was to protect her friends, even though they had just argued, especially because the incident took place at the height of the Black Lives Matter protests.

Megan Thee Stallion accuses Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Like, and I feel like I have to hold it in because I have to be strong for so many people," she said. "Like, I know this happened to me and I'd rather it play out in court and the facts come out and everything comes out than me having to plead my case," she said.

But if it saved all of us from dying, then that's just probably what it was meant to be," she said. And I was so scared," said Megan Thee Stallion.

Megan Thee Stallion Details Shooting Incident, Opens Up on ... (Essence)

Speaking with Gayle King, rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion tearfully addressed the incident and subsequent attacks on her character.

“I asked the driver to pull over and let me out of the car. “I should not have gotten back in the car.” She said the other parties in the car repeatedly asked her to just get back in, as they were almost at their next destination. For those who still refuse to believe she was shot, Megan says she has nothing to prove. But given the circumstances and the evidence, she is perplexed as to what other explanations casual observers could be coming up with. She stuck with this version of events until doctors disclosed to police that they had had to remove bullet fragments from each of her feet – some of which remain in her foot to this day. I know this happened to me. “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. Megan says that the shooter stood through the SUV’s open window and let off multiple rounds in her direction. Expounding on her previous disclosure of the evening’s events, Megan explained that an argument broke out between her, former friend Kelsey Harris, and rapper Tory Lanez when she was prepared to leave a party at Kylie Jenner’s home when no one else was quite yet ready to end the evening. I was ready to go, because I had been there all day.” And I’m trying to be as nice as I can to everybody.” “This was one of [those] times where it shouldn’t have gotten this crazy.”

'I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud. Like, this was one of those times where it shouldn't have got this crazy,' Megan said.

I just wanted to feel like I got family and people who care about me and I can hang out with everybody and I was just going through it.” She later concluded, “I’d rather it play out in court and the facts come out than me having to plead my case [in the court of public opinion]. I’m a victim. It was helicopters, I was like, ‘Oh my God, we all about to die.’ The George Floyd thing had just happened—the police are very much ‘shoot first, ask questions after.’ So I’m like, ‘It’s a hot gun in the car, I’m bleeding. “I didn’t want to see anybody die so I said I stepped on glass. She then went on to explain that Tory allegedly began apologizing profusely in the moments after and even went so far as to promise to give her and her friend $1 million if they didn’t say anything about what happened. I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me.’ I was really scared because I had never been shot at before. So I get back in the car, it’s like it’s getting worse. So I get out the car and it’s like everything happens so fast. ‘Cause I’m like, ‘Oh my God, if I take the wrong step I don’t know if he could shoot something that’s like super important. At that point the argument wasn’t even with me, the argument was with the two people in the backseat. “It was an argument because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn’t ready to go. “But I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud.

Megan Thee Stallion spoke with CBS' Gayle King about a shooting allegedly involving fellow rapper Tory Lanez, who was charged with assaulting her.

... I don’t want to have to explain to strangers why I’m crying. When speaking to others, she often feels on the verge of tears. I didn’t want to see anybody die, so I just said I stepped on glass.” A Los Angeles judge increased Lanez’s bail to $350,000 after ruling this month that his social media activity violated court orders barring him from contacting Stallion or commenting on the case. In the moment, he allegedly offered her $1 million to stay quiet, she said. Given the police’s history of violence against Black people, Stallion was afraid someone would end up dead if she revealed that a gun was involved, she told King. A report from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center reviewed by the Los Angeles Times confirms that the “Savage” hitmaker underwent multiple procedures to remove major bullet fragments from both of her feet. Something bad is about to happen.” “I was just trying to protect all of us because I didn’t want them to kill us,” she said.
