Hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion took the stand Tuesday to testify against Canadian rapper Tory Lanez — getting emotional while recounting a 2020 argument that took a dark turn.
Stallion entered the Los Angeles courthouse in a purple suit as a group of supporters cheered her on, several holding a banner that read: “We stand with Megan.”
The rapper, whose legal name is Megan Pete, seemed incredulous when prosecutors asked if she knew Lanez, the LA Times reported.
“I just don’t feel good,” she said when asked if she was nervous. “I can’t believe I have to come in here and do this.”
Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, is facing charges of assault with a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm and negligent discharge of a gun for the July 2020 incident in which he’s accused of shooting the rapper in the feet.
Megan testified the shooting erupted while she and Lanez were driving back from a party at Kylie Jenner’s house. Accompanying them were a bodyguard for Lanez and Kelsey Harris, Megan’s longtime friend.
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.
