Megan Thee Stallion took to Instagram Live to respond to a recent petition Tory Lanez filed seeking re-sentencing.
On Wednesday, Megan Thee Stallion went on an Instagram Live rant where she addressed her 2020 shooting incident with Tory Lanez amid Meghann Cuniff releasing a new statement from Tory’s former driver and bodyguard claiming he never saw who shot Megan; he only saw Tory trying to take the gun from Megan’s then-friend Kelsey Harris before shots rang out.
“If you say you didn’t shoot me, why wouldn’t you get on the stand and say, ‘I
didn’t shoot this bi*ch?’ You say it online every day. You figure out how to get your n***s to say you didn’t do it, you figure out how to get the blogs to say you didn’t do it, but the one motherf*cker it would have mattered from was you. You should have said, ‘I didn’t do it. Kelsey did it.’ Kelsey, if you didn’t do it, why won’t you say, ‘I didn’t do it?’” Megan said during her IG Live session.She also made it clear who shot her and renamed Tory Lanez.
“I know who shot me, I said who shot me and that’s why tf you in jail,” she quipped.
Megan’s comments came after Cuniff (aka Meghann Thee Reporter) released the 48-page habeas petition Lanez filed seeking re-sentencing. Lanez’s lawyers are using Jauquan Smith’s (Tory’s former driver and bodyguard) statement in an attempt to vacate his 10-year prison sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet and injuring her three years ago.
Smith did not testify in Lanez’s December 2022 trial in Los Angeles but did appear at the courthouse wanting to testify as a defense witness.
However, prosecutors asked for time to prepare for his unexpected testimony. Lanez’s trial lawyer “stipulated that Smith was not going to be summoned, as the holidays were approaching and they feared that delaying the trial could cause a mistrial.”Ultimately, Lanez was found guilty before the Christmas holiday and sent to jail. Now, Lanez’s new lawyers filed Smith’s statement on Tuesday with an appellate petition seeking re-sentencing or, in the alternative, an evidentiary hearing on the arguments raised.
“It was only through recent efforts that Petitioner himself learned what Smith wished to convey, and obtained the verified statement,” the petition states.
Lanez has continued to seek appeals since he was sentenced to 10 years for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020.
