Megan Thee Stallion has spoken publicly about being shot in both feet in June 2020.

In a new interview, she's given her account of the night Tory Lanez allegedly shot her after a party in the Hollywood Hills.

She says during the incident, she felt "really scared" that she might be shot again, somewhere else in her body.

Megan, 27, made the comments in her first TV interview about what happened on the US TV network CBS.

Tory, 30, was arrested at the time and charged with carrying a concealed firearm in a vehicle.

He denies shooting Megan.

'Everything happens so fast'

Megan, whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, describes an argument breaking out "because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn't ready to go".

Speaking to CBS anchor Gayle King, Megan said: "I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud... It shouldn't have got this crazy."

Megan, say she then got out of a car.

"All I hear is this man screaming, he said 'dance b****', and he started shooting. And I'm just like, 'oh my God'," she says.

Megan claims Tory - whose real name is Daystar Peterson - was "standing up over the window" when he shot "a couple of times".

"I didn't even want to move too quick, because I'm like 'oh my God', if I take the wrong step I don't know if he going to shoot something that's super important."

She finishes, "I was really scared because I'd never been shot at before".

Megan initially told police she had injured her feet by stepping on broken glass after the party, The Los Angeles Times reported.

She told police she was "scared [Tory] was going to get in trouble", but later alleged that he had shot her.

Megan posted on Instagram that she had been shot by Tory, but many of the tracks on his album, Daystar, claim he's being framed.

The case is expected to go to trial on September 14, 2022. Tory Lanez faces up to 23 years in prison if convicted.
