As the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez criminal trial creeps closer, Megan stopped by CBS Mornings on April 25 to discuss the July 2020 shooting involving the Toronto rapper. Megan held back tears as she recalled the events that led up to her being shot in the foot and said immediately after she was wounded, Lanez tried to offer her $1 million dollars to keep quiet.
“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,’” she said. “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.”
Jonathan Wright, Megan Thee Stallion’s longtime friend and hairstylist, stopped by the Beyond The Chair podcast on Friday (April 29) and confirmed the Houston-bred rapper’s account, saying Tory Lanez did offer her hush money while claiming he got in touch with him as well.
“The n-gga DM’ed me!” he said when asked about Lanez allegedly trying to buy Megan’s silence. “I’m like, ‘Yo, you went the wrong way!'”
Wright also recalled his initial reaction to the news of the shooting, while threatening to beat Tory Lanez up if he runs into him.
“I wanted to go beat Tory ass,” he said. “I wanted to go beat Tory ass and it’s still — oh, if he run up, it’s done up.”
Tory Lanez was briefly detained earlier this month after a judge determined he’d tweeted out a message directed at Megan, thus violating a protection order that had been in place. The One Umbrella head quickly posted $350,000 bail and was released soon after.
Both Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez are expected in court on August 17, with the trial set to begin on September 14. Lanez faces a maximum sentence of 22 years if convicted.
50 Cent Isn't Buying Megan Thee Stallion's Denial Of 'Sexual Relationship' With Tory Lanez
Megan told CBS Mornings that no matter how the trial turns out, this experience has changed her forever.
“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.
“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.”

i haven’t seen any evidence megan was shot have you.
nope but people still taking here word as fact for some reason
Roc nation has money to throw at media that’s for sure. Tory really is going against industry giants here
I think she got shot; the police and obviously the medical professionals ascertained that she suffered a gunshot wound. Do any of you really think the police and the medical staff are going to lie about her injury just to defame Tory Lame-z? She says Tory Lame-z shot her that I don’t know and it is up to the prosecutors to prove that. The burden of proof is on the city, county, state, etc. If he is guilty he will get deported back to “Oh Canada” much like Shyne was deported to Belize, and like many Mexicans Nationals are deported everyday. No more American tour dates, money, etc. for Tory Lame-z, though he can still sell music here.
No bullet fragments found.. and no gun residue found on Tory.. but there was gun residue found on Meg’s homegirl..
I don’t think that girl gone take this that far court and shit naa this girl on point ijs. Tears or not it don’t make sense to keep this shit going ijs
She was SHOT! Why not go to court?! You make no sense. Whether it was him or the friend she deserves justice. And he going around throwing money to silence people. Sounds pretty guilty to me
Yea so the judge said why are you wasting my time and dismissed the entire case, the end, and then you woke up from your dream but your king tory still facing charges damn
Show us the DM
Facts!!!!!!
I believe her Homegirl more so than Megan.
What an absolute pos CLOWN this dude is!!! You frigging shoot a woman in a dangerously brainless move then deny it and TRASH her about it!? Unbelievable. It’s so clear all you other commentators are Tory Lanez shills LOL. this clown is going down.
You are trying to hard. You have wait to many accounts and you’re probably a immigrant…you don’t know what happened so stop acting and pretending to be females fruitbot.
be a man damn it. you know whether you are guilty or not and with this carry on i think he is.
Tory lame was there.Megan was shot facts no opinion.If Tory didnt shoot her then who did?I 100% saying Tory shot her.Stop shamming the victim.Megan needs justice i pray for Megan that she can heal and find peace
Exactly if somebody shot there sister in the foot or moms i bet he would say that…Jayz said it best men lie woman lie but numbers dont lie…his numbers are years in jail for some absolutely dumb ignorant move…
In the words of Jay z “we don’t believe you you need more people”, you a full Ronald McDonald clown if you think Tory actually shot her, so what the gunshot residue just magically disappeared from his body and appeared on her friend, lol… I’m still waiting for Megan to actually cry in that interview ain’t no tears come down her face I’m still waiting
Right that’s why they just dismissed the case right? It was lack of evidence?
Can I get a million to even if I wasn’t there as well? I heard Tory offered the desk manager 2 million because he saw him on Tuesday the week before the incident. And the guy at the shie store got offered 500K because he saw Tory on Youtube that Wendsday!
