“No New Evidence”: Megan Thee Stallion Claps Back at Tory Lanez’s Legal Team
Megan Thee Stallion has broken her silence in a raw and defiant TikTok post, directly addressing the renewed wave of misinformation surrounding Tory Lanez and the 2020 shooting that left her wounded and the hip-hop community divided. Her message was emotional, unfiltered, and fed up: “At what point are y’all gonna stop making me have to relive being shot BY TORY!?” Her outburst wasn’t just about correcting the record—it was a desperate call for peace, privacy, and truth in a narrative that has been dragged through the mud for nearly four years.
Lanez, who was convicted in 2022 on three felony counts and is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence, has continued to claim innocence. His legal team recently resurfaced claims that Megan’s former friend and assistant, Kelsey Harris, was the actual shooter. Citing a new statement from bodyguard Bradley James, Lanez’s camp insists this is critical new evidence that wasn’t presented at trial. Megan, however, isn’t having it. In her own words, “Ain’t no new -fing evidence. Y’all been saying the same s for years.” For her, this isn’t about reopening the case—it’s about refusing to let people rewrite it. The facts were presented in court, witnesses testified, and a jury delivered a verdict. What’s happening now is not justice. It’s harassment.
Since the shooting, Megan has been forced to endure a public crucible that few artists have ever experienced. From the beginning, she was doubted, mocked, and blamed for her own victimhood. The music industry, often silent on issues of abuse, offered little support. Some artists threw subliminal shots. Others stayed conveniently quiet. Tory Lanez, meanwhile, capitalized on the spectacle, releasing music and pushing his own version of events that found a disturbingly large audience. Now, even as he sits behind bars, figures like Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna and rapper Drake have publicly supported efforts to seek his release or cast doubt on the conviction. Megan, on the other hand, continues to be treated as if her pain is up for public debate.
Her latest post was more than a rebuttal—it was an emotional boundary. After being forced to testify in court, after surviving a media storm and targeted online bullying, after losing friendships and trust, Megan is still being pulled into the mess. Her frustration is not just with Tory and his team, but with a culture that allows this kind of retraumatization to persist unchecked. Her critics want her silence, but Megan has made it clear she won’t be gaslit, bullied, or rewritten out of her own story.
In an era where disinformation spreads faster than facts, her refusal to be quiet is a radical act. Megan Thee Stallion is not only fighting for her peace—she’s holding a mirror up to the music industry, to fans, to the justice system, and to every artist and outlet that remained silent when she needed them most. And as long as the misinformation keeps coming, she’s not backing down. Because while the courtroom battle may be over, the war for the truth still rages on.
