Megan Thee Stallion sustained multiple gunshot wounds, but is expected to make a full recovery. In a note posted to Instagram on Wednesday, the rising rapper said she is “lucky to be alive.”
The 25-year-old “Savage” singer wanted to “set the record straight” as she called the narrative appearing in the media “inaccurate.”
“On Sunday morning, I suffered gunshot wounds as a result of a crime committed against me and committed with the intention of physically injuring myself. They never arrested me, the police took me to the hospital where they operated on me to extract the bullets, ”he shared. “I am incredibly grateful that I am alive and that I am expected to make a full recovery, but it was important for me to clarify the details about this traumatic night.”
Megan added in the caption: “This whole experience was revealing and a blessing in disguise. I hate that it took me this experience to learn to protect my energy. “
Exactly what happened on Sunday morning is unclear. Police were called about a disturbance outside a Hollywood Hills residence around 4:30 am PT for a “shooting investigation,” the Los Angeles Times reports. However, there is no mention that Megan was shot in the LAPD report.
Megan was dating rapper Tory Lanez, 27, who was arrested for serious concealed weapons offenses. TMZ revealed Monday that “people were arguing in an SUV before someone shot into the air … and the vehicle took off,” prompting police officers to find a weapon in their car. The police told the Times “Witnesses to the incident provided a description of a suspect (s) and their vehicle.”
Yahoo Entertainment confirmed that Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was arrested and booked. He was released on $ 35,000 bail.
In a statement Wednesday, the LAPD confirmed to the Times One person was rushed to hospital on Sunday “with a foot injury.” Officers said they detained several people after stopping a vehicle that matched the description. Two sources familiar with the investigation said Megan was showing a wound at the scene consistent with her being hit by broken glass.
What is known is that Megan and Lanez were dating Kylie Jenner on Saturday night, hours before the incident. The rappers appeared on Jenner’s Instagram Live during a pool party. The reunion is not entirely random as the “Hot Girl Summer” singer and billionaire Kylie Cosmetics have mutual friends. Megan is close to Jenner’s former best friend Jordyn Woods.
Megan’s “Savage” is a TikTok favorite and the remix with Beyoncé recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
