New details are emerging about the almost fatal night in Los Angeles when Tory Lanez allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion outside of a Hollywood Hills home.
In a trial over the shooting which began Tuesday, prosecutors say both Megan The Stallion and Tory Lanez were headed to a club after visiting a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house.
It was then that the Savage rapper, born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, said that the Say It rapper, born Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, disrespected her. She demanded to be let out of the vehicle before he shot at her five times.
Lanez, 30, has denied all charges.
Detectives found a trail of blood at the scene of the shooting and a gun that was still “warm to the touch.”
Minutes after the shooting, a friend received a text from Megan stating: “Help… Tory shot meg,” according to testimony. Shortly after, Lanez “profusely apologized for his actions” and said he was “just too drunk,” Megan’s attorney told jurors.
Prosecutors further claim that Lanez told Megan to “dance” while he shot at her.
Meanwhile, Lanez’s attorney claims that the case is “about jealousy” and said he would prove that Megan’s accusations were not true. The defense team said that Megan initially told doctors her injured feet had been cut on broken glass.
Reports indicate that Megan didn’t immediately reveal that she was shot because she did not want Lanez to get in trouble. But healthcare professionals soon found several bullet fragments in her feet and some still remain, she says.
“Tory shot me. You shot me and you got your publicist and your people… lying… Stop lying,” Megan said on an Instagram Live shortly after the alleged shooting.
The trial is ongoing.
