Tuesday, Dec. 13, is the second day of the Tory Lanez shooting trial in which he is being accused of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
In a purple suit that commentators say is in support of domestic violence awareness, Megan Thee Stallion entered the L.A. courthouse where she took the stand around 11:15 a.m. pst. Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, began answering questions on what occurred on July 12, 2022, in Hollywood Hills.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Pete and Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, bonded over the loss of their mothers months before the shooting. The two also reportedly engaged in sexual relationship. Peterson was upset with the Pete the day of the shooting because she wanted to leave the party at Kylie Jenner’s house.
An argument then began to erupt when Peterson told Pete to “to stop lying” to Kelsey Nicole, Pete’s longtime friend, about their relationship. Peterson reportedly called Pete and Nicole “bitches and hoes,” and then began argument about each other’s status in the music industry.
During the argument, Pete asked to be let out of the car. It was then that Peterson allegedly yelled “Dance, bitch” and fired five shots aiming at Pete’s feet, leaving her wounded.
MTS confirms that while the argument started about their romantic situation, it quickly escalted to a fight about their careers. Lanez apparently told MTS she “ain’t shit” and MTS responded by insulting his stature in industry. She said that really set him off.
“I’m in shock. I’m scared. I hear the gun going off and I can’t believe he’s shooting at me,” Pete testified. She reported that Peterson offering $1 million to both her and Nicole if they didn’t tell police what happened.
LAPD stopped the vehicle and ordered everyone to get out of the SUV on Hollywood Boulevard. Body cam footage shows an injured Pete limping with bloodied feet as the four individuals were ordered to get on the ground.
When asked why she didn’t tell the truth to the police when question, she answered, “At this time we are at the height of police brutality… I felt if I said this man had shot me, they might shoot first and ask questions later. I don’t feel safe in the car. I don’t feel safe with the police.”

“Say you hate the girls I fuck but what you really mean / I been with Black and white and everything in between / You the Black messiah wifing up a mixed queen / And hit vanilla cream to help out with your self-esteem.”
Drake also implies that Kendrick’s kids aren’t his, but are actually Dave Free’s, Kendrick Lamar’s longtime creative partner.
“Why you never hold your son and tell him say cheese / We could have left the kids out of this don’t blame me,” he raps.
“Our sons should go play at the park / Two light-skinned kids, that shit would be cute / Unless you don’t want to be seen with anyone that’s Blacker than you”

Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”
The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.
According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”
Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.
