After months of silence, Tory Lanez has denied allegations that he shot fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion in an incident in the Hollywood Hills.
The Canadian artist took several harsh digs at the โWAPโ hitmaker in the lyrics of his latest album, which dropped Thursday night. Megan Thee Stallion underwent surgery for a gunshot wound in July, according medical records, and has spoken at length about the incident on social media.
Hours after Lanezโs new album, โDaystar,โ was released, Megan Thee Stallionโs attorney, Alex Spiro, issued a statement to the Los Angeles Times warning of a โsmear campaignโ allegedly waged against his client.
โWe have been made aware of manipulated text messages and invented email accounts that have been disseminated to the media in a calculated attempt to peddle a false narrative about the events that occurred on July the 12th,โ Spiro wrote on Friday. โA smear campaign canโt change the truth.โ
Megan Thee Stallion officially named Lanez as her attacker last month while accusing him and his team of โlyingโ about the incident. The L.A. County district attorneyโs office is reviewing a potential charge of felony assault with a firearm in connection with the case, which is still under investigation.
In โDaystar,โ Lanez addresses Megan Thee Stallionโs allegations with the lyrics, โI ainโt do itโ and โHow the fโ you get shot in your foot, donโt hit no bones or tendons?โ He also accuses Megan Thee Stallionโs โpeopleโ of โtrying to frame me for a shooting.โ
