During the long-awaited trial, the "Plan B" rapper took the stand to testify that Lanez shot her in the foot during a drunken rage on July 12, 2020. She said it happened when Meg, Tory and her ex-assistant Kelsey Harris left a pool party at Kylie Jenner's house. They reportedly got into a major argument. Megan Thee Stallion even said that Tory offered her $1 million for her silence. Lanez wasn't put on the stand.
