Megan Thee Stallion has admitted that she lied about the nature of her relationship with Tory Lanez in her tearful interview with Gayle King following her much-publicized shooting.
In her new documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday (October 31), the Houston Hottie comes clean about sleeping with the rapper who was convicted of shooting her in July 2020.

In a widely-circulated scene from the film, Megan admits to previously lying about having sex with Lanez, saying: “Yes, bitch. I lied to Gayle King, bitch. First of all, I ain’t know that bitch was even finna ask me about that shit. I thought we was gonna talk about this shooting.”
She added: “Why is you asking me about fucking Tory? That’s not what this is about. Even if I was, I fucked that n-gga like once, maybe twice on a drunk night. You kept catching me out of my fucking mind.”

Back in April 2022, Megan Thee Stallion sat down for an emotional interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings where she opened up about the shooting, for which Tory Lanez was later sentenced to 10 years in prison.
When asked by King about her relationship with Tory, Megan replied: “We were not dating. We were really close, we were friends. We hung out, like, every day. His mum passed too, so I feel like we were bonding over that.”

She continued: “I didn’t have a sexual relationship with Tory.”
Despite denying to Gayle King that she and Tory had sex, Megan testified during the December 2022 trial that she was in fact sleeping with the rapper at the time of the shooting.
As Rolling Stone reported, Megan told jurors that she was “embarrassed” about the non-exclusive relationship and considered it irrelevant to the actual shooting.
“There is not a day that goes by where somebody is not calling me a liar or is not shaming me for being a grown woman and having sex. This whole story has not been about the shooting, it’s only been about who is Tory having sex with,” she said on the witness stand.

“I don’t understand why that matters. Tory came out and told so many different lies, about me not being shot, about him not being the shooter, and making this all about a sex scandal.”
Tory’s legal team has responded to Megan’s comments in the documentary, saying to TMZ: “The fact that Megan lied about her sexual relationship with Tory obviously makes her an unreliable witness. If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?”
Lanez is currently pursuing an appeal of his conviction and recently claimed that the gun used in the shooting had gone missing.
However, this was strongly refuted by Megan’s lawyer Alex Spiro, who informed Legal Affairs and Trials with Meghann Cuniff that the gun is in the hands of the LAPD and available for testing.

Lanez’s new attorneys Unite the People — a non-profit organization of which the rapper is a board member — accused prosecutors of a “failure to produce and preserve evidence” and called for his 10-year prison sentence to be vacated.
