Why is Megan Thee Stallion facing a lawsuit against Tory Lanez?

On Tuesday, December 13, Megan Thee Stallion, an American singer and songwriter, took the stand in a Los Angeles courtroom and testified before a jury that two years ago rapper Tory Lanez shot her five times in the feet, yelled at her to dance and wounded her as she tried to walk away from him in the Hollywood Hills. "I am in shock. I'm scared. I still hear the gun go off and I can't believe he's shooting at me," the Grammy-winning hip-hop superstar testified Tuesday, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Megan's testimony came on the second day after the trial began. In it, Canadian rapper Lanez, 30, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The charges the rapper faces are: discharging a firearm with gross negligence, assault with a semi-automatic weapon and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm. Thee Stallion recounted that on July 12, 2020, she left a party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home in an SUV with Lanez, her bodyguard and her friend Kelsey Harris. Megan others added that she and the rapper had become close. They both shared the loss of their mothers and casual sex relationships.

In addition, in the deposition against Lanez, Megan testifies that she exited the vehicle wearing only a bikini and tried to walk away from the rapper. The rapper was faster than her and opened fire leaving her with wounds on the back of her feet while yelling "Dance, bitch! "I looked at my feet and saw all the blood. Everyone was screaming." expressed the artist at the beginning of the questioning by Assistant District Attorney Kathy Ta.

In fact, Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, would receive more than 22 years in prison if convicted.
