'I WAS SO SCARED': STALLION
Rap star relives terror of 2020 shooting
Megan Thee Stallion has opened up for the first time about the night in 2020 when she was allegedly wounded by gunfire from rapper Tory Lanez, saying she thought he might “shoot me and kill me.”
The “WAP” rapper, 27, got emotional in an interview for “CBS Mornings” as she described Lanez allegedly firing shots at her feet while yelling, “Dance, b---h,” outside a Los Angeles home.
“I didn’t want to move too quick, ’cause I’m like, ‘Oh, my God. If I take the wrong step, I don’t know if he’s gonna shoot something that’s, like, super important,’ ” Megan recalled in a clip from the sit-down with host Gayle King released Sunday.
“I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me.”
“I was really scared ’cause I had never been shot at before,” Megan added.
It got ‘crazy’
Lanez, 29, is set to stand trial on charges that he wounded Megan by firing multiple shots at the ground outside a Hollywood Hills home in July 2020.
Megan, who ended up with shrapnel in her feet, had initially claimed she accidentally stepped on glass but changed her story and blamed Lanez.
In the interview, set to air in full Monday on “CBS Mornings,” Megan recalled that she, Lanez and a friend had left a party when an argument broke out because she had wanted to go and others didn’t.
“But that’s, like, normal friend stuff like we fuss about . . . silly stuff all the time,” she said.
“But I never put my hands on anybody. I never raised my voice too loud. Like, this was one of them times where it was it shouldn’t have got this crazy.”
She said that the dispute escalated after she got out of the car and that Lanez stood “up over the window” and fired at her.
‘Dance, b- - -h’
“So I get out of the car, and it’s like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, ‘Dance, b- - -h.’ And he started shooting. And I’m just like, ‘Oh, my God.’ Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared,” Megan said.
Lanez pleaded not guilty to assault and firearms charges and denied the allegations. His trial is slated to begin in September.
