Megan Thee Stallion admitted she lied to Gayle King about whether she slept with Tory Lanez in her new documentary, “In Her Words.”
“Yes, bitch. I lied to Gayle King, bitch. First of all, I ain’t know that bitch was even finna ask me about that s–t. I thought we was gonna talk about this shooting,” she said on the newly released Amazon Prime doc.
“Why is you asking me about f–king Tory? That’s not what this is about. Even if I was … I f–ked that n–a like once, maybe twice on a drunk night. You kept catching me out of my f–king mind.”
In April 2022, the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper, 29, sat down for an interview with King, 69, on “CBS Mornings” to talk about the shooting and whether or not she and the Canadian rapper, 32, were more than friends.

“What was the nature of your relationship with Tory Lanez because he has led people to believe that it was a sexual relationship … that you two were dating? What was the nature?” the famed journalist asked an emotional Megan.
The “Savage” emcee replied at the time, “We were not dating. We were really close, we were friends. We hung out, like, every day.”
Megan shared that she felt like she and Lanez, born Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson, were “bonding” over the fact that they both had lost their mothers.
“Did you have an intimate relationship with him?” King asked again, to which the Houston rapper responded, “Like sexual? Umm, I didn’t have a sexual relationship with Tory.”

Megan then said she believed Lanez tried to “deflect from the fact that he committed a crime” by telling the public they had slept together.
Following her confession, Ceasar McDowell, CEO of Unite the People, the nonprofit law firm that reps Lanez told TMZ, “The fact that Megan lied about her sexual relationship with Tory obviously makes her an unreliable witness. If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?”
However, Megan previously admitted during Lanez’s shooting trial in December 2022 that she did have sex with the former “Quarantine Radio” host but did not disclose that information to King because she was embarrassed that someone she shared her “body with” could harm her.

After Lanez’s sentencing, he continued to maintain his innocence.
“I have never let a hard time intimidate me, I will never let no jail time eliminate me. Regardless of how they spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will,” he wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
Though he said he “took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involved,” he was “in no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I’m being wrongfully convicted of.”
