In testimony Friday in rapper Tory Lanez' assault trial, Megan Thee Stallion's former close friend said in a recorded interview played for jurors she saw Lanez fire a gun at Megan's feet. This contradicted Kelsey Harris' earlier testimony from the stand.
Prosecutors had played parts of their interview with Harris during her trial testimony. She was granted immunity in the case, though not for perjury.After Lanez’s lawyers suggested in their cross-examination that Harris had been pressured to make the statements she did, the judge allowed the prosecution to make the rare move of playing the entire 78-minute recording for the jury.
Harris was cordial in the recorded interview, in contrast to her evasive, at times combative time on the stand, and the prosecutors rarely had to prompt her during her account. She said on the recording she had been drinking heavily as others in the car had, and had been getting out of the car when she heard a couple of shots fired. She then looked up to see Lanez firing more shots.
While on the stand, she denied that she herself had fired the gun, but wouldn’t say Lanez did. When confronted with a text she sent to Megan’s manager that read “Help. Tory shot meg. 911,” Harris said she only assumed Lanez had done the shooting.Harris said on the recording that the incident left she and Megan estranged, and she had not seen her in person since.
Harris said she returned home to Houston when she was told that Megan was likely to be a long time in recovering. She and Megan had been in Los Angeles to shoot the “WAP” video with Cardi B. The track would make Megan an even bigger star than she had already become., but differed in particulars. Harris said Lanez remained silent as he fired. Megan had testified that he shouted, “Dance, b——-!” at her when he shot.
Megan Thee Stallion, whose legal name is Megan Pete, won a Grammy for best new artist in 2021, and had No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 with both “WAP” and her own song “Savage,” featuring Beyoncé.
