Megan recently sat down for an interview with Gayle King for CBS Mornings, which airs Monday – and in an excerpt shared this morning, she goes straight to the incident.
Music megastar @theestalion exclusively sits down with @GayleKing for her first TV interview covering the 2020 shooting allegedly involving rapper Tory Lanez on Monday on #CBSMornings. Tory Lanez pleaded not guilty to assault in connection with the alleged shooting.

In the interview, Megan says the events leading up to the incident began with an “argument” because “I was ready to go and everyone else wasn’t ready to go.”

“But that’s sort of like normal stuff with friends. … We make a fuss about stupid stuff all the time,” she added.

“But I never laid hands on anyone. I never raised my voice too loud. … It shouldn’t have gotten so crazy.”

Megan said she “didn’t want to move too fast” while Tory allegedly shot her. “I’m like, ‘Oh my god, if I take the wrong step, I don’t know if he can rotate something that’s super important.’
