Megan Thee Stallion Gives New Details in Account of Shooting

She said that the police took her to the hospital and that she had surgery to remove bullets. She wrote on Instagram, “It was important for me to clarify the details about this traumatic night.”

On Monday night, almost two weeks after that post, Megan Thee Stallion posted a video to reassure fans that she was well, to thank her supporters and to counter reports that she said were invented or based on fake sources.

“I was shot in both of my feet,” she said in the video, breaking into tears. Surgery, she said, “was super scary, it was, like, just the worst experience of my life.”

She added that the bullets did not hit any bones or break any tendons, but were “in there” and had to be removed. In neither post did she say where the shooting happened.

In the video, she criticized people who she said were spreading rumors about the shooting and those making jokes on social media. “It’s not funny,” she said. “There’s nothing to joke about. It was nothing for y’all to start going and making up fake stories about.”

She said that she did not put her hands on anyone before the shooting, adding, “I didn’t deserve to get shot.” And she explained her lack of comment beyond Instagram, saying: “It’s not that I was protecting anybody. I just wasn’t ready to speak.”
