Megan Thee Stallion has been relatively quiet lately about the 2020 shooting incident that forced her to get surgery on both feet and left fellow rapper Tory Lanez facing a maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months in state prison if convicted of the crime.
However, with the case headed to trial in September, the Houston rapper and entrepreneur is once again breaking her silence on what happened that night following internet backlash that has mostly kept her mum on the subject other than an April interview with CBS’ Gayle King.
"I want him to go to jail,” Megan Thee Stallion told Rolling Stone in a no-holds-barred interview published Wednesday. “I want him to go under the jail.”
However, with the case headed to trial in September, the Houston rapper and entrepreneur is once again breaking her silence on what happened that night following internet backlash that has mostly kept her mum on the subject other than an April interview with CBS’ Gayle King.
"I want him to go to jail,” Megan Thee Stallion told Rolling Stone in a no-holds-barred interview published Wednesday. “I want him to go under the jail.”
The 27 year-old-rapper, who is the cover model for the magazine's July/August Hot Issue, elaborated on what happened that night and decried the role social media played in denying her victimhood.
"In some kind of way I became the villain," she said. "I wonder if it’s because of the way I look. Is it because I’m not light enough? Is it that I’m not white enough? Am I not the shape? The height? Because I’m not petite? Do I not seem like I’m worth being treated like a woman?”
Megan Thee Stallion, who previously stated that the catalyst for the incident was an argument that broke out between her, Lanez, and her ex-best friend Kelsey Harris as they left a pool party because the rapper was "ready to go, and everybody else wasn't ready to go, was scared that she would not be able to be herself anymore after the shooting.
"What nobody knows is, I had to get the surgery the same night. I stayed in the hospital in California for maybe four days," she said, adding that after her hospital stay she wasn't able to walk.
Megan Thee Stallion added, "I still have bullet fragments in my feet right now." Lanez, whose real name Daystar Peterson, was ordered into custody by a judge in April after he violated a protective order by harassing Megan Thee Stallion online. The judge said some of his tweets appeared to be direct messages to the star, but he was released hours later after posting bail.
The pretrial hearing is scheduled for July 28, with the trial set to begin Sept.14.
