Hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion took the stand Tuesday to testify against Canadian rapper Tory Lanez.
Megan Thee Stallion took the stand to testify against rapper Tory Lanez.She said Lanez was upset about being asked to leave the party — and turned around in the vehicle to tell Megan she needed to “stop lying” to Harris about their relationship.
“I’m in shock. I’m scared,” Megan recalled during her testimony. “I hear the gun going off and I can’t believe he’s shooting at me.”She told the court she got back in the car and they drove as she tried to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, Megan said, Lanez promised the women $1 million each if they promised not to tell the police.Jurors saw body camera footage in which police ordered all four occupants out of the car and onto the ground before detaining them.
“At the time, we are at the height of police brutality,” she said, referencing the 2020 protests following the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. ” I felt like if I said ‘this man has just shot me,’ they might shoot first and ask questions later.”Tory Lanez is facing charges of assault with a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm and negligent discharge of a gun.“In the black community, it’s not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers,” she added.
