Megan Thee Stallion has taken the stand to testify in the trial of musician Tory Lanez more than two years after accusing the rapper of shooting her in the feet.
, on Monday Los Angeles County Assistant District Attorney Alexander Bott told jurors Lanez ordered Megan -- whose real name is Megan Pete -- to"dance b**ch" as Lanez allegedly fired five shots at her after she got out of an SUV during an argument in the Hollywood Hills. reported that Bott also revealed that key witness Harris will testify that she saw Lanez fire the semiautomatic 9mm handgun that wounded Megan in both feet.
Bott alleged that Megan and Harris were"terrified" at the scene when they agreed to return to the car before it was pulled over by officers a short time later. He revealed that Harris sent three text messages to Megan's bodyguard, Justin Edison, in the five minutes following the shooting.reported that a visual of the text chain shown in the courtroom showed that Harris texted Edison"Help" at 4:27 a.m. on July 12, 2020."Tory Shot Meg," the next line read.
When Los Angeles officers stopped the vehicle, they subsequently found the gun still warm to the touch on the floorboard near where Lanez had been seated, Bott told the courtroom, adding that Lanez and Harris both later tested positive for gunshot residue. "This was at the height of police brutality... I felt like if I said this man just shot me, I didn't know if they might shoot first and ask questions later," she testified. She also noted how"in the Black community... it's not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers."
