Megan Thee Stallion Says She’s in Recovery After Being Shot

UPDATE: July 28, 2020 — Megan Thee Stallion addressed the incident on Instagram Live on July 27. “I was shot in both of my feet, and I had to get surgery to get the shit taken out—to get the bullets taken out. It was super scary. Oh Lord, I didn't think I was gonna cry,” she said. "But yeah, I had to get surgery. It was super scary. It was just the worst experience of my life, and it's not funny. It's nothing to joke about. It was nothing for y'all to start going and making up fake stories about. I didn't put my hands on nobody. I didn't deserve to get shot. I didn't do shit. And thank God that the bullets didn't touch bones—they didn't break tendons. I know my mama, my daddy, my granny had to be looking out for me with that one because where the bullets hit at, it missed everything."

ORIGINAL STORY:

Megan Thee Stallion says she is in recovery after suffering gunshot wounds from an incident on Sunday, July 12. Earlier this week TMZ reported that the “Savage” singer was with rapper Tory Lanez at the time of his arrest on July 12 on a concealed-weapons charge. 

Now she's giving her side of the story. Megan Thee Stallion posted to Instagram on Wednesday, July 15, to set the record straight. “This whole experience was an eye opener and a blessing in disguise. I hate that it took this experience for me to learn how to protect my energy,” she wrote in a caption alongside her statement. 

“On Sunday morning, I suffered gunshot wounds, as a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me,” she wrote. “I was never arrested, the police officers drove me to the hospital where I underwent surgery to remove the bullets. I'm incredibly grateful to be alive and that I'm expected to make a full recovery, but it was important for me to clarify details about this traumatic night. I'm currently focused on my recovery, so I can return back to my life and back to making music as soon as possible.”
