Megan Thee Stallion sits with Gayle King to discuss Tory Lanez shooting her. |
CBS Mornings Gayle King talks to rapper/model Megan Thee Stallion. She shares the infamous shooting that lead to her being shot in the foot by then-boyfriend Tory Lanez.
The Canadian media personality, singer and rapper could face up to 30 years in the iron college if convicted. He also could lose his right to stay in the United States. He does have children living in the the states. He is charged with carrying a concealed weapon, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
The rapper had denied his role in the shooting. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He is also restricted from owning firearms, not to travel outside the United States, not allowed contact with Megan, her family and the management team she is signed to.
The shooting in 2020 happened when Tory and Megan were partying with Kylie Jenner.
They are known legally as Megan Pete and Daystar A. Peterson.
As she holds back tears, she describes the incident.
"All I hear is this man screaming. And he said, 'Dance bitch.' And he started shooting [inside the vehicle]."

Gayle asks why did Tory decided to fire his weapon inside the vehicle.
"It was an argument, because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn't ready to go. But that's, like, normal friend stuff. We fuss about silly stuff all the time. 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, like, it shouldn't have got this crazy."
Megan would step out the vehicle with her hands up limping. She at first said she was stepped on broken glass but then it was revealed that she was shot in the foot. She immediately went to social media to directly call out Tory Lanez for shooting her.
She told King that Tory tried to pay her off to stay silent on the matter. She said he was about throw down $1 million for her to keep quiet. It didn't work on her conscience.
"He is standing up over the window shooting. And I didn't even want to move. I didn't want to move too quick... If I take the wrong step, I don't know if he's gonna shoot something that's like, super important. I don't know if he could shoot me and kill me... I was really scared 'cause I never been shot at before."
Lanez was placed in custody this month after he recorded a song aimed at her. He also violated his restraining order after he tried to second string an apology to someone close to her.
The rapper maintains that he's doing fine but he knows the risk if he's found guilty.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.
