Megan and Tory Lanez

but it was her real life and the whole thing left her
hurt and traumatized.
At this point Megan still never said anything about
Tory,
but the LAPD already had him as a suspect.
A couple weeks later,
Megan went Live to break down what happened.
She let fans know the situation was serious
and that she wasn’t able to talk about it.
Megan confirmed she was shot in both feet,
but she never mentioned anything about Tory.
Megan was still active on social media
and spotted out walking around,
which led to a lot of people spreading rumors that
she lied about getting shot.
All the abuse reached a boiling point,
and in August 2020 Megan posted graphic photos of
her gunshot wounds
and called out the haters for saying she lied.
She wrote
“I usually don’t address internet bull****
3
but y’all people are so sick!...
Sorry I’m not as sad and miserable as a lot of y’all
lol
but ima keep being Megan Thee Mf STALLION.”
Putting up pics of her feet with actual bullet holes in
them
wasn’t enough to stop the hate she was getting,
so Megan went Live the next day
and aired out everything.
She finally said that Tory was the one who shot her,
and addressed all the rumors going around about
the situation.
After Megan got shot,
she hopped back back in the whip with Tory and the
others
because she didn’t have anywhere else to go.
And when the cops pulled them over after getting
reports for shots,
Megan says
she didn’t say anything about Tory shooting her
because she was worried that the cops would kill
them all.

This went down around the same time George Floyd
was killed by the police,
and Megan says
she was afraid that if they knew Tory had a gun, they
all could’ve ended up dead.
According to Megan,
it all started when her, Tory, Kelsey Harris,
and Tory’s bodyguard got into an argument in the
whip.
Tory didn’t comment on the situation,
but in September he hopped on Twitter to promote
his new album and wrote
“To my fans … I’m sorry for my silence ….
But respectfully .. I got time today ……
9 PM PST”
The next day,
Tory dropped the album and took a shot at Megan
on the track
Money Over Fallouts.
He said
“Gotta see a couple questions:
5
how the f*** you get shot in your foot, don’t hit no
bones or tendons?
How the f*** your team is tryna paint me as some
whole menace?”
Tory got dragged on social media
for promoting his album like that and dissing
Megan.
Then one month later
he was officially charged with felony assault.
He pleaded not guilty and bonded out,
and Tory told his fans “a charge is not a
conviction.”
A couple days later,
Megan wrote a piece for the New York Times
called “Megan Thee Stallion: Why I Speak Up for
Black Women.”
In the article she talked about how violence has
affected her and said
“I’m not afraid of criticism,
and ‘Protect Black women’ should not be
controversial.”
On the same day Megan’s article dropped,
6
a judge ordered Tory to stay at least 100 yards away
from her
and to give up any guns he had.
He was was also banned from having “personal,
electronic,
telephonic or written contact” with her.
Megan also clapped back with the song Shots Fired,
where she said
“You shot a 5’10” b**** with a .22
Talkin’ ‘bout bones and tendons like them bullets
wasn’t pellets
A p**** n**** with a p**** gun in his feelings.”
She also aired out Kelsey Harris
for allegedly taking money from Tory to stay quiet
about the situation.
Everything calmed down for a while,
but in July 2021
Tory violated the protection order
when he performed at Rolling Loud in Miami.

Then in December
Back in April,

and aired him out for “spreading false
narratives,”
Not today.”

It’s sick how u Spun it tho…”
Then in October,
According to Alsina,
Tory and his crew pressed him while he was alone.
Then Tory hit a blunt laced with cocaine

After he was done telling his side of
the story,
it was clear that the defense was
desperate for anything to make Tory
look innocent.
Tory didn’t even take the stand during
the trial.
And ten days after it started,
the jury found him guilty on all three
felony charges.
Now he’s facing over 22 years and jail,
plus he could be deported back to
Canada.
When the guilty verdict was handed
down,
Tory’s dad and stepmom went off
and started yelling about how the court
system was “evil.”
They had to be taken outside,
16
and they kept screaming about how
crooked the trial was
and took shots at Jay-Z and Roc
nation.
I just stood here,
in this Los Angeles country
and witnessed the worst miscarriage
of justice that this world has ever seen.
And the whole wicked system of Roc
Nation,
including you Jay Z.
Jay hasn’t commented on the case at
all,

but Megan is signed to Roc NationTory’s
lawyer says
