The female rapper said she did not tell Los Angeles police who arrived on the scene July 12 about the shooting because she was afraid of the legal consequences and feared for her safety.
“I did not tell the police anything because I did not want us to get into any more trouble,” she says in the video.
Peterson was arrested on the morning of the incident on suspicion of possession of a concealed weapon and was released on bail later that day, but is not charged with anything related to the incident. Police and prosecutors say the case remains under investigation.
Pete, Peterson and others share an SUV after the party in the early hours of July 12th. She said in the video that there was an argument between the people in the car, and Peterson shot her as she tried to run away. She denied rumors that she had hit him in the SUV.

She said from the beginning that she expected them to fully recover, but said in subsequent posts that the shooting, which required her to have surgery to remove the bullets, was “super scary” and “the worst experience of mine. life, “and she felt blessed to hit the gun where it did.
She consistently refused to call Peterson until Thursday night, when she did tweeted, “Lie down one more time and stop saving.”
