Tory Lanez’s jail phone call with Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend and assistant, Kelsey Harris, has leaked online, allowing the public to hear a key piece of evidence that helped convict the Toronto rapper.
Tory (real name Daystar Peterson) was found guilty of shooting Megan in the feet during a drunken dispute in July 2020 last week following a high-profile, 10-day trial in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old was convicted on all three counts — felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm; possession of a concealed, unregistered firearm; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence — and faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison, as well as deportation to Canada.
The call, which surfaced online on Friday (December 30), was allegedly made from Hollywood Jail the day after the shooting. Harris was with Tory and Megan at the time of the shooting and vividly recounted the incident to prosecutors in September, but recanted most of her story during her turn on the witness stand.
While Tory didn’t specifically mention the shooting or a gun in the call, prosecutors argued he was apologizing for shooting Megan.
The almost five-minute call begins with Tory Lanez asking Kelsey Harris if she’s “good” and which hospital Megan Thee Stallion was receiving treatment at. He then offers an apology to both women, who he was allegedly sleeping with at the time.
“I know she’s probably never ever gonna talk to me ever again but… bruh, I just want you to know, I was just so fucking drunk, I don’t even know what the fuck was going on, deadass. I’d never do some shit like that,” Lanez says.
“Regardless, that’s not gonna make anything right and that’s not gonna make my actions right, but I’m deeply sorry for that. I never even move like that at all. For real, for real, dawg.”
“I know,” Harris replies with a sigh. “It was a lot, it was a lot that happened.”
Tory continues: “A whole lot, bruh. I feel crazy, but what happened happened already; I can’t take it back. I’m just telling y’all I’m sorry, bruh. I think we were just too drunk.
“When I got to the house, they gave me like five shots, like off the door, you feel me? So I was outta there. I don’t even remember what we was even arguing about.”
Tory then asks Kelsey to call his security guard and driver, Jaquan Smith, who also witnessed the shooting, and “tell this n-gga, if you get a chance, just figure out what you gotta do to bail me out this shit.”
Kelsey obliges before informing Tory that “the report is already out,” albeit no names have been released.
“Out is what? What you mean out?” Tory asks, to which Kelsey replies: “It’s on some app. You know, Megan’s team is on top of this.”
After speculating that “there’s no way that Megan’s on the thing,” he adds: “I don’t think it’s gonna be one of those. If anything, the only n-gga that’s gonna get this backlash is me. It’s not gonna be her.”
Tory then reiterates he’s sorry before ending the call. “Alright. It is what it is,” he says. “Regardless, if I get out of here today or not bro, I just want to let y’all know I’m sorry. I’d never did that shit if I wasn’t that drunk, you feel me?”
The phone call was played during the trial and given to jurors as evidence during their deliberations. According to Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff, the audio was the most important piece of evidence that led to Tory Lanez’s conviction.
“We didn’t actually hear a whole lot about that during trial because I think prosecutors kind of figured ‘why bother?’ They played it in the opening, they got it in evidence from somebody within the jail and then it kinda seemed like it was on the defense to try to explain that away,” Cuniff told Law & Crime Sidebar podcast host Jesse Weber.
“Because while [Tory] never mentions a shooting or a gun in the call, the prosecutor even said in his closing argument that he’d gone over it a few times with his co-counsel, and they just can’t figure out what else he could be talking about in this call. They went through it line by line and focused on how he’s asking how Meg’s in the hospital.”
She continued: “We never really seemed to hear much about that from the defense in trial. They really needed to explain what that call was and it was kind of just left unopen until prosecutors brought it up, and again in the closing argument.
“There was a lot of focus on Kelsey’s recant on the stand and the testimony from the neighbor, and I think all of that was important. But in the end, Tory himself provided a ton of evidence for this just from his text messages to Meg and then his phone call to Kelsey.”
Tory know very well he did that.
they set him up – got him drunk. you can see he says he doesn’t know what happened. He said “they” were plying him with liquor and it was four or five “shots” not bullets liquor. He thinks that he’s some playboy sleeping with both those women not knowing it was their plan the whole time to concoct this whole story. how does a jail house phone call from a hungover dude replace physical gun evidence. if he was drunk and shooting he would have residue all over himself. these women are a public menace and fuck jay z forever
I’m glad not every kid on this website isn’t retarded!
Fake Talk OG, is this you? GOH

Was Rock Nation there?: No Agree
Can alot of people comprehend? No, Agree
Shut your dumb ass up. Black men just don’t believe in taking any responsibility, at all do they?
You sound goofy. That lil clown shot a ‘woman’.. He told on himself. If you can’t handle your liquor, don’t drink. Stop seeing conspiracies when it ain’t one!
Some PEOPLE just don’t believe in taking accountability not just black men girl
YOU SOUND VERY UNEDUCATED AND WITH NO SELF ESTEEM YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE BLOOD LINE ARE SOME NASTY IGNORANT NO CLASS SEPARATIST or you might just be a PROSTITUTE
What’s the point of sounding hard on a website? Everyone know it’s just talk my guy
And what are black women ever responsible for except raising a bunch of the same type of niggas they complain about??
Really they got him
Drunk and wanted him to shoot at one of them you need a doctor Fast if he has so much going for him why is he carrying a illegal gun that shows his character I own a registered gun and as a responsible gun owner I don’t take it out with me to get drunk. Just shows he’s a week irresponsible coward Period

Lol shutuup you dick
Dude acted like he doesn’t remember but he remembered though. He was desperately trying not to incriminate himself in that phone call but he was curious though. He knew Megan’s lawyers and the prosecutor would run circles around him that’s why he didn’t testify in his own defence.
all these people saying fuck Jay Z all these people saying Megan a liar and a whore wouldn’t be saying none of that if the gun residue was on Tory but we all know that’s an attempted murder charge and held without bail. it’s an obvious set up those two bitches slept with him to gain his trust, got him drunk then staged the shooting for publicity. Jay Z gone pay with his career. Fuck Hollywood.
what I want to know is how are the LA cops holding Tory and having him talk to the assistant on the phone when the forensic tests show all physical evidence points to the assistant and everything else is hearsay? Hollywood is corrupt. Jay Z paid off the authorities to look the other way on an obvious set up. What a fucking piece of shit Jay Z really is. Hate to see it really fkn sad
Lol, if you had evidence that nobody else has, you should’ve turned it over by now. You did your boy a disservice; LMAOOOOO!
(Enter Spongebob laugh here!)
My previous comment is in support of LMAOOOOO’s comment. (This site is acting up.)
the situation doesn’t make sense from a male perspective. generally a man in that situation not pulling a gun on anybody. Why? He’s got two girlfriends probably more at home. But if he did pull a gun and shoot then Megan would be dead that night and Tory would be looking at the death penalty. It would be a messy scene.in reality People drink and argue all the time even with guns around and dont shoot each other. Whole story is so fishy that’s why Tory didn’t testitfy.
He has several incidents. This wasn’t the first time he has flown off the handle and done some left field shit when it wasn’t warranted. He’s a hothead. So who can explain his mindset or how he moves? Furthermore, why would you equate what most men would do with what he did? It has no bearing on it. In Kelsey’s statement to the police, she said he snapped on her in the car before any of this happened and said he’d shoot her and reached like he had a gun because she was talking back to him, then he went back to being nice. Dude might legit be bipolar or some shit. There is more to the story, but the gist of it is what it is. He basically took it out on them because he missed what he thought was his only shot to fuck the Jenner girl due to Meg coming back to get him.
Dude is a midget. But a man. 5 foot 3. Also, any decent lawyer tells their clients NOT to testify. Lawyers are experts at tearing people apart. Most humans don’t speak “legaleeze.” Shut your ass up. Dummy.
if he shot her and evidence exists that a gun was fired that night then the evidence should be on the shooter. that’s how it works. they didn’t charge tory with attempted murder because it would have been thrown out on lack of physical evidence. THESE BITCHES SKANLESS
You’re a straight ho. Shut your ignorant ass up. He’s guilty. Get over it. Shooting the ground and hitting someone isn’t attempted murder. Idiot.
Why wont they leak the foot x-rays ?
So you called Megan’s feet hooves?! We’re so tired of you and your comments all over DX, Fake Talk OG.
Jvonne
FFS, it may have something to do with HIPPA. Don’t be an idiot all your life…
We see her in videos after her feet are fine and this could be a cover up because Megan did not have any business sense and was cheated on her last contract deal with the former label and now Roc Nation is saving her ass. PUBLICITY SELLS
He deserves jail just for being a whack wrapper…and his daddy look like he enjoy fucking pork
Dude never mentioned firing a weapon…that evidence shldnt stand.. should be struck out smh
He obviously did not want to incriminate himself. Dude thought he was smart.
Nobody said he did. However, juries can use common sense too. Dude is talking about I can’t believe I did that. She’s never going to talk to me again. I can’t change my actions. But we’re supposed to think this refers to him fucking both of them. FOH with that shit. They have texts that were sent to several different people from Kelsey right after the incident too. Get out of the conspiracy rabbit hole. Nobody is trying to stop him from making mediocre R&B music. Like he’s some important figure that some grand conspiracy would be launched against to silence him. I bet if this was that Jenner girl, you would have believed he pistol whipped her before he shot her though, but because he shot a big booty supposedly promiscuous black woman, it has to b something to it. It has to be a conspiracy.
People put too much stock into the so called eyewitness. It’s pretty clear now that the fight he was talking about was Tory beating on these women before shooting at her. Dude has a pretty extensive track record of randomly hitting people, even one leading up to this trial. Can’t believe that this became some black men versus black women shit either. Megan seems to have wanted to live by the street code before he and his team put out PR spin.
shut the fuck up – I’ll beat on you. posting fucking jayz fan fiction ya fucking ho. get dude balls out your mouth I’ll beat the street into your dumb ass come on here acting like you know something – u a nobody u a punk ass clown
Get some help. Jay-Z didn’t have shit to do with this. Her record label did PR spin just like his team did, but it’s pretty obvious what happened. Because a woman gets jealous about you trying to fuck another woman doesn’t mean you get your gun out and shoot her. How many run-ins and assault issues does this man have in the past, including the August Aussinna issue leading up to this trial. He legit looks like a psychopath in how he has tried to shape public opinion on this. Like they had almost 150 pieces of evidence, and his lawyers had four. You do the math.
fuck you you’re a fucking idiot. but of course you’re a rap music fan so that figures – you’re just a stupid fuck and there’s no hope for you. sound like a fucking idiot talking tory “shooting” this and that there’s no evidence on him and they don’t slap him with a real charge some hearsay bullshit. fuck jay z fuck coc nation and fuck everybody who want to see an innocent man in jail. why can’t they just find some physical evidence? this is NEVER GONE END
No evidence? LOL. He was UNANIMOUSLY convicted by 12 people. Quickly. All 12 had to agree. You’re a straight moron. There was an overwhelming amount of evidence. That’s why they didn’t offer him a slap on the wrist. He had an excellent legal team. Dude was a dumbass and didn’t take the felony plus X amount of years where he probably would have done a few months tops and been deported. He’s obviously a narcissist ego maniac. Dude got what he deserved. Justice was carried out. Straight to prison then straight back to Canada. Cry all you want. If you accept it, it hurts less.
Some people can’t read. I said she had 150 pieces of evidence, and he had four entered into the record.
That’s the lifestyle he chose. Fake gangsta turned cry baby when reality turns up. Had his father raised him better he’d have never needed to rant at the system.
So he apologized about what he did, and idiots still think this is a conspiracy? Somehow people who secretly destroy celebrities are trying to take down a CANADIAN B or C List feature rapper? LOL. Shut the fuck up. Dude is guilty. Y’all are straight retarded.
His bitch ass did it drunk r not u don’t shot kno bitch
His bitch ass did it drunk r not u don’t shot kno bitch
Sounds like someone couldn’t hold his liquor, pulled out a gun and shot someone. Then sealed his own faith on a jailhouse phone
no lame clown on here with their LOL and emoji can explain how the gunpowder ended up on the assistant. they want to claim tory don’t count as black because he’s a brampton mans from time. that’s a fight jay z don’t want. that’s going to end his career. keep on waving the stars and stripes jayz you see that energy tory father bringing. no man want that level of enemy. if that’s not black enough ok then, watch and see. jay z dont have no rap career no more.
No one has to explain it dummy. When you fire a gun, gunshot residue goes everywhere. It’s like a plume of smoke. I know you’re only used to seeing it on those cop shows where they swab the hands and catch the killer. Everybody in the vicinity would have gunshot residue on their hands and everywhere else. It’s meaningless to this whole situation.
except the shooter? you sound so fucking stupid it’s ridiculous. So yeah why bother with 15 seasons of CSI – physical evidence doesn’t matter meg is on her period.
Some random person that’s commenting on here often dissing Jay Z. Why don’t you try to email Jay Z or something. He’s not reading your comments on here.
if I was Jay Z I’d be reading the comments. then I’d be talking to my people. and straightening this out. tory lanez didn’t do anything to Jay Z for something like this to happen. people on here getting bold about Toronto mans about Brampton mans. Not one person thinks Tory is innocent because where he’s from. Generally when mans is convicted they find the gun evidence on him not the girl beside him. So whatever works. Man needs to make some phone calls and work it out the right way
When your freedom is in question don’t talk about anything because you can always place in to question someone’s comments .He he even said I didn’t mean to do it .If I did what they said .Then they would lead that he feet guilty about something.Keep quiet.
