Megan Thee Stallion was ‘offered’ money to stay quiet about alleged Tory Lanez shooting

Megan Thee Stallion was ‘offered’ money to stay quiet about the alleged Tory Lanez shooting in July.

The 25-year-old rapper detailed the events surrounding the night where she was shot twice in the foot after leaving a pool party in the Hollywood Hills.

She told GQ that being shot and then having to defend her experiences publicly online was ‘the worst experience of [her] life.’

His lawyers responded to TMZ about the buy-out claims and said he ‘has never offered money to any witness for their silence or for any other reason. Any reports to the contrary are false.’ 

Megan revealed that she was simply trying to go home when she got in the car with Tory Lanez, a move she was hesitant to even make as an argument was brewing and her phone had died. 

When Megan attempted to get out of the vehicle, Lanez allegedly shot at her feet and wounded her twice. 

‘Like, I never put my hands on nobody,’ she said while recalling the scenario in disbelief. ‘I barely even said anything to the man who shot me when I was walking away. We were literally like five minutes away from the house.’ 

Lanez reportedly begged Megan and her friend in the car not to say anything and even ‘offered’ money for them to stay quiet. 

‘[At this point] I’m really scared,’ Megan said, ‘because this is like right in the middle of all the protesting. Police are just killing everybody for no reason, and I’m thinking, ‘I can’t believe you even think I want to take some money. Like, you just shot me.’  

With helicopters surrounding the area and a slew of police presence, Megan told officers at the time ‘I got cut.’ 

People accused Megan of lying about the incident and she later named Lanez as the person who shot her in the foot, which spiraled into a he-said/she-said war online.  

After back and forth she tweeted: ‘Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own. It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized.’   

Lanez was arrested for a felony count of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, and was later charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and is expected in court this week. 

Despite the challenges surrounding the shooting, Megan has had a banner year and will soon release her first studio album, Good News.
