In a video clip posted on the CBS Mornings Twitter page Megan said:
"It was an argument because I was ready to go, and everybody else wasn't ready to go. But that's, like, normal friend stuff. So I get out of the car, and it's like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, 'Dance, bitch.' And he started shooting. Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared."

Megan also refuted claims that she was in an intimate relationship with Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson.
“We were not dating, we were really close, we were friends, we hung out like every day. And his mom passed too so when… I felt like we were bonding over that.”
When asked if she was in an intimate relationship with Tory, Megan hesitated before she answered:
“Uhm, I didn’t have a sexual relationship with Tory.”
This sparked some seriously mixed reactions on Instagram, where @_maayaaa said:
"She took too long to answer the sexual relationship question, lol, yes y’all did "
@your_fav_dream shared the same sentiments and wrote:
"Now Meg, you had me up until the no sexual relationship part, we are grown, you can tell the truth..."
@reginaregina_ commented:
"This situation should’ve just been handled in the court and off the internet because I’m tireddd..."
@idontgetpaidenoughforthis added:
"Did she just say they didn’t have a sexual relationship?? Yeah no lol if you gon sit up there and lie about that, don’t even do the interview. Her PR team failed her. This was a mistake!"
Tory is facing serious charges
Meanwhile, IOL reports Megan claims Tory tried to silence Megan by offering to pay her over R15 million.
“He said, ‘I’m so sorry. Please don’t tell nobody. I’ll give y’all $1 million if y’all don’t say nothing’. And I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? Why are you offering me money right now? Help me. And if you’re sorry, just help me’.”
Tory has been charged with one count of assaulting Megan with a semiautomatic firearm and one count of carrying a concealed, loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle. He was also served with a protective order that bars him from contacting Megan.
A few weeks ago, Tory was arrested for violating the protective order but was released on bail. The trial starts on 14 September 2022 and if found guilty, Tory could face up to 22 years and eight months in prison.

The blogger later shared that the DNA results had been inconclusive.
