Megan Thee Stallion, an American rapper, has taken to social media to reveal she was injured on Sunday morning, after claims that she was arrested alongside rapper Tory Lanez, who was charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
Megan says she’s “grateful to be alive” and expected to make a full recovery.
During the weekend, reports claimed that Tory Lanez was arrested on a gun charge and the songstress was present in the car at the time of the Hollywood Hills incident.
She however took to her Instagram page on Wednesday to make clarifications after a video surfaced online showing her bleeding from her foot as policemen stopped a car also conveying Lanez.

“I was never arrested. This whole experience was an eye-opener and a blessing in disguise. I hate that it took this experience for me to learn how to protect my energy,” she wrote.
“The narrative that is being reported about Sunday’s morning events is inaccurate and I’d like to set the record straight.
“On Sunday morning, I suffered gunshot wounds; as a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me.
“I was never arrested, the police officers drove me to the hospital where l underwent surgery to remove the bullets.
“I’m incredibly grateful to be alive and that I’m expected to make a full recovery. But it was important for me to clarify the details about this traumatic night.
“I’m currently focused on my recovery; so I can return back to my life and back to making music as soon as possible.”
Earlier this year, Megan Thee Stallion, 25 sued her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment. The Houston rapper alleged that the contract she signed was “not only entirely unconscionable, but ridiculously so,” and placed the label in a position to “literally do nothing, while at the same time taking for themselves the vast majority of [her] income from all sources.
