Why did rap star Megan accuse Tory Lanez?

According to the Los Angeles Times, in July 2020, the two artists got into a heated dispute while returning from a late-night party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home. Megan, sitting in an SUV with Lanez and Kelsey Harris, her friend, demanded to be let out of the car, where Lanez allegedly fired at her.

Therefore, the Canadian artist Tory Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, was apprehended on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon but was subsequently released on bail.

As seen on The Argus News, the Hurts Me singer was not charged, and as per the Los Angeles Police Department, the case was under investigation.

The initial reports suggested that Megan released a statement that she was hurt by a broken glass at the party when US police pulled over the SUV near Hollywood Boulevard due to the noise of gunshots. However, three days later, Megan suggested that she survived the gunshots on Instagram. She stated—

"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'm incredibly grateful to be alive and that I'm expected to make a full recovery."

Later, in August, during an Instagram live, Megan publicly called out Lanez's name and said—

"Yes, Tory shot me. You shot me, and you got your publicist and people to these blogs lying. Stop lying!"

Later that year, Lanez released a 17-track album, Daystar, where he accused Megan of framing him, which sparked public scrutiny, and the case landed in the spotlight—

"I'm done with this, you gotta know the truth, you get shot in your foot, don't hit no bones or tendons?" he rapped.

Between 2020 and 2022, Tory Lanez was involved in multiple incidents where he violated protection orders and assaulted another musician in 2022. Subsequently, in the same year, Megan testified in court regarding Tory's actions, resulting in him being convicted of shooting Megan.
