Tory Lanez Threatened Megan Thee Stallion with a Gun in the Car

 

Kelsey Harris testified Wednesday, calling the suggestion that she opened fire on Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020 "ridiculous."

Kelsey Harris, Megan Thee Stallion's former best friend, took the stand as a witness in Tory Lanez's felony assault trial on Wednesday, as prosecutors revealed she gave a bombshell recorded interview in September in which she claimed Lanez threatened to shoot her inside a Cadillac Escalade before allegedly opening fire on Megan.

During her combative testimony, Harris confirmed she gave the detailed statement three months ago but claimed the damaging account was "not accurate" and that she was "not truthful" that day to "protect" herself.

Harris testified that she could no longer recall the alleged threat from Lanez inside the SUV and no longer remembered seeing him holding a gun or firing at Megan during an alcohol-fueled fight on July 12, 2020.

Harris was heard telling prosecutors in one portion of the recording played for jurors that after Lanez allegedly said, "I'll shoot you," he then "reached like he was going to grab something" from the SUV's center console.

The "Luv" singer has pleaded not guilty to three felony charges, including shooting Megan with a semiautomatic 9mm handgun, causing great bodily harm, concealing a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and firing a firearm with gross negligence.

If convicted as charged, the Alone at Prom rapper faces 22 years and eight months in prison and deportation because he is a Canadian citizen.

Harris, who was dressed in a black ensemble and wore her hair in a bun, told jurors that she and Megan met Tory Lanez at a Roc Nation event in 2020 and became friends. She claimed Megan initially attempted to set her up with Tory.
