Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out about being shot by Tory Lanez in July 2020. Nearly two years after the Luv rapper (whose real name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson) shot her at a party - and four months after he was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm for the incident - Megan Thee Stallion (real name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete) wrote a statement to Elle published on Tuesday about moving forward. “I don’t want to call myself a victim,” Megan began her statement.
