Megan Thee Stallion is speaking out in her first television interview about the shooting incident involving Tory Lanez, saying she thought he might shoot me and kill me.

The Grammy-winning rapper has said that while riding in an SUV with Lanez following a party at Kylie Jenners Hollywood Hills house in July 2020, she was shot multiple times in the feet , for which she was hospitalized and underwent surgery.

I was really scared, cause I had never been shot at before, the rapper tells Gayle King through tears in a clip from the CBS Mornings interview set to air on Monday.

While the two have both addressed the altercation in various songs and social media posts Stallion publicly accused Lanez of being the shooter in an Instagram Live back in August this is the first time Stallion will fully explain the events that led up to the incident on camera in her own words.

It was an argument because I was ready to go and everybody else wasnt ready to go, she said, describing their disagreement as normal friend stuff to King. It shouldnt have got this crazy.

So I get out of the car and its like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming, Stallion continued, explaining that Lanez told her to Dance, bitch before opening fire a detail a detective on the case talked about in prior testimony when relaying Stallions account of the night.

He started shooting. And Im just like, Oh, my God. Like, he shot a couple of times, Stallion added. And I was so scared.

I dont know if hes gonna shoot something thats, like, super important, she said. I dont know if he could shoot me and kill me.

Lanez, born Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, was initially charged with carrying a concealed weapon and was later charged with a felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months behind bars, Variety reported .

He has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to all charges in November 2020.
