Megan Thee Stallion is claiming Tory Lanez offered her $1 million to keep quiet about the shooting incident that occurred in 2020, where the Canadian rap-crooner is accused of shooting the Texas rapper.
On Monday (April 25), CBS released the full version of Megan Thee Stallion’s interview with Gayle King. During the sit-down, Megan makes the claim that Tory Lanez tried to keep her from telling the police he shot her by offering the “Body” rapper a seven-figure payout.
“Everything happens so fast,” Megan said in the interview around the 4-minute mark, recalling the harrowing situation. “And all I hear is this man scream, and he said, ‘Dance, bitch.’ He start shooting, and I’m just like, Oh my god.”
When asked how Tory Lanez acted immediately after the shooting, Megan replied he was apologetic. “He’s apologizing,” Megan said while holding back tears. “He’s saying, ‘I’m so sorry. Please don’t tell nobody. I’ll give you a million dollars if y’all don’t say nothing.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Like, ‘Why are you offering me money right now. Help me. And if you’re sorry, just help me.'”
Megan reiterated that she did not tell the police Tory shot her initially because she feared the authorities who ordered them to get out of the car at gunpoint after the shooting would react with violence. “I didn’t want them to kill any of us, or shoot any of us,” Megan added. “Even though this person just did this to me, my first reaction still was to try to save us. I didn’t want to see anybody die.”
Later on in the interview, CBS shared text messages they obtained from Megan’s
former friend, Kelsey Harris, who was also in the car on the night of the shooting, which show that Harris texted Megan’s security guard, “Help” and “Tory shot Meg.”
