The feminine performer previously called it'the worst experience' of her own life
More than a month later she had been shot in the feet following a party in Hollywood Hills, Calif., Megan Thee Stallion stated for the first time Thursday night that fellow hip-hop star Tory Lanez was the person who pulled the trigger.
"Yes... Tory taken me. You took me and you also got your publicist and your folks going to these sites lying," that the 25-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Megan Pete, said in an Instagram Live video. "Stop lying. Why lie? I don't understand."
Representatives for Lanez, a 28-year-old rapper and singer whose legal title is Daystar Peterson, didn't I
mediately respond to requests for comment.
The female rapper stated she did not inform Los Angeles police who reached the scene July 12 about the shooting because she was afraid of the legal repercussions and feared for her own safety.
"I didn't tell the police nothing since I didn't want us to get in no more trouble," she says in the movie.
Peterson was arrested the morning of the episode on suspicion of possession of a concealed weapon and was released on bail later that day but hasn't been charged with anything related to the event.
Pete, Peterson and others were discussing an SUV after the celebration in the wee hours of July 12. She said in the video that there was an argument between the people in the automobile, and Peterson shot when she tried to walk away. She denied rumors that she'd hit him in the SUV.

Pete first said publicly that she was taken later that week and has slowly revealed more in many social networking posts since it happened, usually in reaction to what she said were fictitious stories spreading.
She stated from the start that she expected to fully recover but stated in following posts that the shooting, which took her to have surgery to have the bullets removed, was"super scary" and"the worst experience of my life," and she felt blessed that the gunfire struck where it did.
She consistently declined to mention Peterson until Thursday night, when she tweeted,"Lie an additional time and ima quit sparing you."
Megan Thee Stallion was a significant hip-hop star following a successful year that lately saw her nominated for artist of the year at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards and lately has become part of a massive cultural phenomenon with her guest stint on the Cardi B song"WAP."
