Megan Thee Stallion sat down with CBS Mornings on Monday (April 25) to discuss the July 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. As previously teased, Megan recounted that night and claimed after Lanez allegedly squeezed the trigger, he was immediately apologetic and offered her an insane amount of money to remain silent.
“I was really scared ‘cause I had never been shot at before,” she said. “And I looked down at my feet, ‘cause I wasn’t even – the adrenaline is pumping so hard, I’m not sure if he hit me. Like, I feel it, but I don’t understand what’s happening. So, I looked down at my feet. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Like, I’m really bleeding. So, I drop down, and I crawl in somebody’s driveway. Like, I can’t believe he shot me.
“He’s apologizing, like, ‘I’m so sorry. Please don’t tell nobody. I’ll give y’all a million dollars if y’all don’t say nothing.’ And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Like, ‘Why are you offering me money right now?’ Help me. Like, and if you’re sorry, just help me.”
As Megan Thee Stallion continued, she recalled what happened when police arrived on the scene.
“I don’t remember everything they said to me, but I remember them asking me, ‘What’s happening? What happened to you?'” she said. “And I didn’t want them to kill any of us or shoot any of us. So, I just said, ‘I stepped on glass,’ because I didn’t want —”
King interjected, “But why did you say that? Why didn’t you say ‘He shot me?'” to which Megan replied, “I didn’t – for some reason, I was just trying to protect all of us because I didn’t want them to kill us. Like, even though this person just did this to me, my first reaction still was to try to save us. I didn’t want to see anybody die.
“So, I just said, I stepped on glass.’ So when I see people trying to use that against me, like trying to act like I’m lying, ‘Oh, she stepped on glass. She never got shot,’ I’m the one who said I stepped on glass. I was lying to protect all of us. And sometimes I wish I really would have never said that. I wish I would have told the truth. But if it saved all of us from dying, then that’s just probably what it was meant.”
Megan Thee Stallion has experienced plenty of online bullying since the shooting and admitted to King her anxiety has grown exponentially in the time since.
“I feel like my anxiety is worse,” she said. “I feel like my relationship with people is – has gotten very cold ‘cause I’m not as trusting as I used to be. Like, I 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. My – I don’t even prob – 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.”
Megan Thee Stallion Details Tory Lanez Shooting During First Television Interview: 'I Was Really Scared'
Tory Lanez was recently remanded back to jail after a judge determined he’d violated a protection order put in place, however he quickly posted $350,000 bail and was released. Both Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez are expected back in court on August 17.
Elsewhere in the interview, Megan opened about about her parents’ impact, although she lost her mother to cancer in 2019.
“They were my best friends,” she said. “It was only the three of us all the time … Like, when I went to school, I felt like it was a little different with me interacting with other kids. So, like, they would kind of pick on me a little bit. Like, I was so tall already. They just really let me know, like, you can’t ever let somebody else’s insecurities make you insecure.”
T minus five months to trial and this will be that much closer to over with.
can she tell her story without over exaggerating she comes across as a teenager.
You do know that she could have possibly blead-out and potentially died from a shot in the foot? there is a major artery that runs from your heart through your upper body, thigh, calf down to your foot. If you hit it you bleed-out. E-40 said it best in a song: “I’ve seen ninja get shot in the head and live; seen a ninja get shot and the leg and he dead.” Not to mention the foot much like the hand is a made up of a bunch of small bones (Metatarsals) that are easy to fracture; she could have been crippled walking with a cane or sitting in a chair for life. Essentially tory Lame-z messed up. Lil’ dumb-azz ninja think he Eddie Murphy in Harlem Nights shooting Della Reese in the big toe. SMH…
Wait you believe Meg? Just curious how with all the questionable evidence and a story that keeps changing. Her friend also has a different story lol. I know roc nation has an incredible budget for this type of stuff but you gotta give it up to Tory going against the machine on this one
According to the report, that same friend sent out a text that night saying Tory shot her.
I think it’s weird that Tory never actually said what happened. Like the court gave him a gag order not to speak on it, but that was over a year after the incident happened. Before that, all he did was cast doubt on her story instead of actually saying what happened. If I didn’t shoot her, I would have just said what really happened. This whole thing is sus. I’ll be happy when this trial is over and we all get some clarity.
He won’t speak on it because her lawers will use that is evidence. It’s best to shut up and don’t incriminate yourself. There is no reason to try and justify your actions to the internet trolls.
The police and certainly medical professionals know the difference between a cut from broken glass and a gunshot wound. Also if the cops wanted to they should have conducted a gun powder test to determine who fired a weapon; real easy case closed. Even if she had of taken the money offer when she got to the emergency room they would have tried to make her tell how she got shot. I know someone who accidently shot their-self in the hand and police demanded to know how they got shot. The person couldn’t admit that they shot their self (the person already had a felony) so they claimed they didn’t know how it happened, eventually the police gave up.
That cause they don’t know their rights you can demand lie saying you goin to jail too bull rap! The only one that GNA be in trouble is the cops , cause they ignored and broke theirs rights. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS YO REMAIN SILIENTS
She just dropped a single correct? If her label can buy the courts one thing is for sure, she lost the people
So, she skips over the fact that her friend use to fxxk with Tory, and then she got sick and she back doored her friend. Also, didnt they get kicked out of the party?? They was arguing bc they didnt want to leave???? but she was calm huh??? Yo why can she lie so terribleeeeee!!!
THE BXTCH IS A SNITCH.
Nobody is going to want to work with this rat. She must be 69 older brother doing all that dry snitching. Torey you might as well start doing your 20+ bid because when they put her on the stand. It is all over homie…smh
this thot must look like a catchers mitt without makeup
I see my last comment got deleted but I’ll say it again… She has THE WORSE management team..Why would they let her do this interview?
