MEGAN Thee Stallion was shot in the foot while she was partying with rapper Tory Lanez.
The incident happened outside of a Hollywood Hills home early Sunday morning.
Tory was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle.
Who is Megan Thee Stallion?
Megan Thee Stallion is a 25-year-old rapper from Texas who rose to fame after she built a fanbase on Soundcloud and YouTube.
She is best known for hits like Big Ole Freak, Captain Hook, and Savage.
Entertainment Weekly reported she was born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete. She dated fellow rapper Moneybagg Yo until late 2019.
Her nickname, Stallion, comes from her 5-foot-10 stature.
What happened to her?
The Houston rapper claimed she was shot in the foot during a shooting outside a Hollywood Hills home in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Police were called to the party after gunshots rung out.
Tory Lanez's car, carrying Megan, was pulled over as cops arrived.
Video footage obtained by TMZ showed cops demanding the occupants exit the vehicle, with Megan – in a bikini – leaving with her hands in the air and calling out: "My hands are up."
However, the rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday to "set the record straight" after it was suggested she had cut her foot on glass, instead, revealing that she had "suffered gunshot wounds" and was taken to hospital by the police.
Who shot her?
It is currently unclear who fired the shots but Megan confirmed on Instagram that they were intended to hurt her.
"On Sunday morning, I suffered gunshot wounds, as a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me."
Megan continued: "I was never arrested, the police officers drove me to the hospital where I underwent surgery to remove the bullets.
"I’m incredibly grateful to be alive and that I’m expected to make a full recovery, but it was important for me to clarify the details about this traumatic night.
"I’m currently focused on my recovery, so I can return back to my life and back to making music as soon as possible."
Who was she with at the time when she was shot?
Megan was with Canadian singer and rapper Tory Lanez at the time she was shot.
Meg and Tory had been party-hopping all night, as earlier on Saturday they were with Kylie Jenner at her Holmby Hills home, enjoying a pool party.
The three all appeared together on Instagram Live at Kylie's house.
There are no confirmed reports that Kylie was also in the home when the shootout happened, but it was just miles from her residence.
Tory was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, which is a felony, but he has not been connected to the shots that were fired at the party.
The rapper posted $35,000 bail and was released at 10am that same day; he is scheduled to appear in court on October 13.
