Rap crooner Tory Lanez is once again attempting to clear his name. The hip-hop entertainer has stepped up to remind his fans and haters alike he's innocent in the July shooting of former friend Megan Thee Stallion.
Tory Lanez Denies Shooting Megan
TL went to his social media pages to keep things a buck. Instead of ignoring a user’s question about why he won’t address the shooting, Lanez responded by explaining how his entire DAYSTAR album is about him proclaiming his innocence.
“I realize that not every body heard me say ” no I did not ” on my album … becuz they mistaked a black man expressing his innocence for insensitivity… as if we ain’t all fighting the same fight , as if exiling a successful man is the answer to a problem bigger than him … you’ll get more than u need to know when court resumes .” -Tory Lanez’s Instagram
Lanez also went to his Twitter page to add some cryptic messages to his timeline.
“Men lie . Women lie . Humans just lie . 🤷🏽♂️ … Truth sets you free , or sets itself free … that’s the beauty of life and the lesson in one”
Meg Thee Stallion Exposes Tory
Stallion’s new “Shots Fired” song goes with the “Who Shot Ya” instrumental sound late rap icon Notorious B.I.G. gained notoriety for and features Meg dropping hard-hitting lines. The H-Town native specifically gives more details behind what really happened between her and Lanez on the night a shot went out in July 2020.
Released Thursday night, the song is indeed a diss track obviously aimed at Lanez — although his name isn’t mentioned and she even taunts him with that fact. Not much major new information is revealed, with the exception of her apparently saying that the gun Lanez fired at her was loaded with pellets — which addresses Lanez’s lyric where he questions how Megan could have been shot without any injury to her bones or tendons. However, it’s mostly a traditional diss track and a strong one, with at least two references to Lanez’s 5’3″ height (Megan is 5’10”), which was revealed in the aftermath of the July incident.

Stallion does everything with her verse to make sure listeners know she’s aiming at Tory. From referencing injuries she suffered from the rumored gunshot to crediting herself for Lanez not getting indicted days after the attack.
Imagine n—as lyin’ about shootin’ a real b*tch
Just to save face for rapper n—as you chill with

And if it weren’t for me, same week, you would have been indicted (Lock yo’ a** up)…
You shot a 5’10” b*tch with a .22
Talkin’ ’bout bones and tendons like them bullets weren’t pellets
A p*ssy n—a with a p*ssy gun in his feelings
Okay, he in the backseat and he keep callin’ me a b*tch
We all know this sh*t, I coulda came back with (Lil’ a** n—a)…
“Who a snitch? I ain’t never went to the police with no names
I thought a b*tch that got her chance…
“They want me to be the bad guy? Lemme put my mask on
I was chose, I ain’t asked to be this motherf*ckin’ cold…
“I’m a steak, you a side plate, shrimp, stay in your place
Real b*tch, yeah, yeah, I ain’t sellin’ fairytales…
“Kick me while I’m down bad, I remember all that
Next n—a sent a shot, I’ma sent it right back.”
Tory Lanez Calls Cap
The same week, Lanez went to his Twitter page and didn’t need much more than a simple emoji. Without tagging Meg, TL simply left a baseball hat emoji ultimately suggesting someone is capping – big-time – following Stallion claiming he paid her hush money after the shooting.

The Hush Money
Recently, buzz developed about Meg claiming Tory offered her money to stay silent following the summer shooting. However, Lanez’s legal team responded and shut down the claim.
7:59 AM PT — Tory’s attorney tells TMZ … he “has never offered money to any witness for their silence or for any other reason. Any reports to the contrary are false.”
The rapper says Tory begged her to stay quiet and tried to pay both her and her friend off shortly after the July incident … for which Lanez has been charged with felony assault. Megan tells GQ she was really scared because what happened with Tory went down during the middle of the national unrest and protests over police brutality and systemic racism. She says her response to Tory’s offer was … “I can’t believe you even think I want to take some money. Like, you just shot me.” (TMZ)
