Megan Thee Stallion Confirmed She And Tory Lanez Were In A Relationship And Explained Why She Previously Denied It

This past April, Megan Thee Stallion sat down for an interview with Gayle King about the alleged Tory Lanez shooting. King asked Megan if she was in a relationship with Tory at the time, as Lanez had claimed, and she responded simply, “I didn’t have a sexual relationship with Tory.”

Now, though, Lanez’s assault trial has started, which has brought to light the fact that Meg’s denial wasn’t true. On December 12, in an opening statement, prosecutor Alexander Bott said the two were in fact romantically involved. When Megan took the stand yesterday (December 13), she confirmed she in fact did have an intimate but non-exclusive relationship with Lanez (as NPR reports). Meg said she hid the relationship from Kelsey Harris, who was with them at the time of the alleged shooting, since Harris had a “crush on” Lanez.

Meg was asked she hadn’t previously revealed the nature of her and Lanez’s relationship and she said she was embarrassed “because it’s disgusting at this point.” She continued, “How could I share my body with someone who could do this to me?”

The fight that apparently led to Meg being shot supposedly began when Lanez tried to pit Meg and Harris against each other, by hinting at the relationship and calling them “b*tches and hoes.”

Megan Thee Stallion Wishes Tory Lanez ‘Would Have Just Shot And Killed’ Her, She Said During Her Emotional Testimony

Yesterday (December 13) was emotional for Megan Thee Stallion, as she took the stand in Los Angeles Superior Court and testified as part of the Tory Lanez assault trial, stemming from when he allegedly shot her in the foot back in 2020. Megan has discussed that night previously, but in court, she got more publicly vulnerable about it than ever before.

With her “voice breaking” (as NPR reports), Meg said of how the incident has impacted her mental health, “I can’t even be happy. I can’t hold conversations with people for a long time. I don’t feel like I want to be on this earth. I wish he would have just shot and killed me, if I knew I would have to go through this torture.”

As for how she felt in the immediate aftermath of being shot, she revealed, “I felt shocked. I felt hurt. I wasn’t sure if this was really happening. I looked at my feet, I saw the blood, and I fell to the ground.”

Of the more long-term effects the situation had, Meg lamented, “This situation has only been worse for me and it has only made him more famous. Because I was shot, I’ve been turned into some kind of villain, and he’s the victim. This has messed up my whole life… This whole situation in the industry is like a big boy’s club… I’m telling on one of y’all friends, now you’re all about to hate me.”

The testimony comes after opening statements began on Monday (Dec. 13). Earlier on Tuesday, Megan confirmed that Lanez offered to bribe her with $1 million following the alleged shooting.

Megan Thee Stallion Heckled At Courthouse, Takes The Stand

We’re not even 48 hours into the trial against Tory Lanez and it has already made for interesting revelations. Lanez is facing several felony accounts and stands accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in July 2020. The incident made international headlines and has become a divisive conversation within Hip Hop. The Canadian rapper-singer-producer insists he wasn’t the person who fired the shots, but Megan counters by doubling down that she saw him shoot her.

Opening statements occurred yesterday (December 13), and today, the Houston hitmaker was filmed entering the courthouse. A swarm of supporters of both sides assembled outside of the building, including a group who were holding a large banner in solidarity with Megan.

In one clip, as Megan is escorted by security, someone in the crowd is heard shouting at her. “Why you lyin’ on that boy?!” someone repeatedly yelled. She was silent as she entered the courthouse, but according to reports, she gave her truth while on the stand. It was stated that Megan was questioned for approximately 45 minutes and became “nervous,” saying she was still in disbelief that this was occurring.

“She entered court around 11:15 a.m. to shouts of support in the hallway,” wrote Los Angeles Times crime reporter James Queally. “Tory Lanez did not look at her when she entered.” He added that Megan testified the argument with Lanez began because she was ready to leave Kylie Jenner’s party. Lanez allegedly wasn’t ready to go and “had an attitude” when they got in the car.

Lanez told Megan, “You need to stop lying to your friend,” meaning Kelsey Harris. The rapper wanted out of the vehicle, but she couldn’t rush off because “I’m in the peak of being famous and I’m in a thong.”

Megan told the court Lanez did stop and let her out of the vehicle. During the shooting, Megan says Lanez yelled “dance b*tch” and fired five times. “I’m in shock. I’m scared. I hear the gun going off. I can’t believe he’s shooting at me.”

“Asked why she didn’t report shooting to LAPD during the vehicle stop: ‘At this time we are at the height of police brutality… I felt if I said this man had shot me, they might shoot first and ask questions later,” reported Queally. “I don’t feel safe in the car, I don’t feel safe with the police.”

Megan added: “First of all in the Black community, in my community, it’s not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers.” She also addressed Drake allegedly referencing the incident on Her Loss, suggesting Megan was lying.

“The whole situation in the industry is like a big boy’s club,” she reportedly testified. “Like I’m telling on one of y’all friends, now you’re all about to hate me.”
