Megan Thee Stallion has finally spoken up about Tory Lanez's shooting for the first and last time.
Megan wrote an essay for Elle on how she perceived herself as a survivor and how the tragedy affected her mental health.
"I truly have survived the unimaginable," the singer remarked.
"Rather than being a victim," she said, "I had to face my trauma being turned into a running joke."
Earlier in the year, the rapper was convicted of shooting Megan in the foot during a party in the Hollywood Hills. He was eventually convicted of assault and faced a sentence of more than 20 years in jail.
"First, there were conspiracy theories that I was never shot," she said.
"Then came the false narratives that my former best friend shot me," the singer said. Even some of my friends in the music business piled on with memes, jokes, and subtle digs, utterly ignoring the reality that I might have died."
"I wish I had been able to handle this situation privately." That was my aim, but everything changed when my assailant made it public. "I was completely exhausted by the time I identified my attacker," Megan added.
Megan admitted that she "fell into a depression and didn't feel like making music."
"I was in such a funk that I had no idea what I wanted to rap about." I wondered whether anyone still cared... "It never occurred to me that people wouldn't believe me," the musician explained.
She did, however, decide to write an essay to help herself recover after the guilty decision.
"My intention is for these words to serve as the final time that I'll address anything regarding this case in the press," Megan said.
"I don't intend to keep reliving the most traumatic experience of my life." "I've decided to alter the narrative because I am more than my trauma," she ended.
