Megan Thee Stallion talked about the trauma she endured after her shooting in 2020, in an upcoming interview with Gayle King, which airs on “CBS Mornings” this Monday.
The interview will be the first time the rapper, 27, addresses Tory Lanez’s alleged shooting on live television since he allegedly shot at her feet when the duo left a party in the Hollywood Hills in July 2020.
“It was a quarrel because I was ready to leave and everyone else was not ready to leave, but it’s like ordinary girlfriends. We’re fussing about silly things all the time,” Megan Thee Stallion said in a release clips of the interview. “But … I never laid my hands on anyone, I never raised my voice too high. It was one of those times where it shouldn’t have gotten so crazy.”

“So I get out of the car and it’s like everything happens so fast,” she explains. “And all I hear is this man screaming, he said ‘Dance b–!’ And he started shooting. I just say, “Oh my god.” He shot a few times. “
During the preview of the interview, Megan Thee Stallion became emotional with King as she remembered the events.
“I did not even want to move. I did not want to move too fast because I say, ‘Oh my god, if I take the wrong step, I do not know if he could shoot something that is super important “I do not know if he could shoot me and kill me,” she said, crying.

Lanez, who is rumored to have been dating Stallion, was present in the courtroom listening to the testimony, Rolling Stone reported, adding that his lawyer asked the detective whether he had asked Megan, “how much she had to drink that day. “
The detective also told Stallion that Lanez was intoxicated during the July 2020 incident, according to TMZ.

In the play titled “Why I Speak Up For Black Women”, the hip-hop star wrote that “Black women are still constantly respected and ignored in so many areas of life.”
“My first silence about what happened was for fear of myself and my friends,” she wrote. “Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fear of discussing what happened, unfortunately was justified. “

Lanez, however, has maintained his innocence. The day after the rapper was charged, Lanez tweeted that “the truth will come to light” and “an accusation is not a conviction.”
