Megan Thee Stallion has accused fellow rapper Tory Lanez of shooting her in the foot last month, when she says she was rushed to hospital with serious gunshot wounds.
"Yes, Tory shot me," the 25-year-old rapper, whose legal name is Megan Pete, said during an Instagram live video. "You shot me and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying."
Speaking directly to Tory Lanez, a 28-year-old rapper whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, she said: "Stop lying. Why lie? I don't understand. I tried to keep the situation off the internet, but you're dragging it."
Representatives for Lanez did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Megan, 25, first publicly shared that she had been shot in both feet, and underwent surgery to remove bullets and bullet fragments, last month.
In the new Instagram live video, Megan said that on their way home from the party she and Tory shared a vehicle with group of other partygoers, but said an argument broke out within the car. When she tried to walk away, Megan alleges that Tory shot her.

This is the first time that Megan has directly accused Tory of being behind the attack, but there has been continued speculation over the Canadian rapper's involvement in the incident after he was arrested on the same day on suspicion of possession of a concealed weapon.
Tory was released on bail the next morning and has not been charged with anything related to the incident.
Megan, who is currently on top of the charts with her Cardi B collaboration "WAP," also said that she did not immediately tell police officers that Tory shot her because she was worried that the incident might escalate and become increasingly dangerous.
"I didn't want the police to shoot me because there's a gun in the car," she said. "You think I'm about to tell the police that we, us black people, that we've got a gun in the car?"
Earlier this week, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County district attorney's office told Billboard that the District Attorney has asked law enforcement to provide further investigation into the shooting before a decision is made on whether to charge Tory Lanez for the shooting.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Megan previously shared photographic evidence of her gunshot wounds and slammed "Internet bulls---" and theories that claimed she had lied about the shooting. She wrote: "Why would I lie abt getting shot? Why are y'all so upset that I don't wanna be in the bed sad ? Why y'all upset that I can walk ?"
