Roommates, during a recent interview, T.I. reportedly said that after the Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident, he personally spoke with Tory Lanez to get his side of what occurred that night. T.I. discussed a variety of current topics, but his account of speaking with Tory about the incident that everyone is still talking about was the obvious highlight of the interview.
T.I. said this is what Tory Lanez told him: “I spoke to him and he said the s**t didn’t happen like that. I said, “Well, you need to be saying something, bruh. How did it happen?” And he said he couldn’t say nothing about how it did actually happen. I told him I understood that. I said, “Man, you can’t expect nobody to ignore the facts that are being presented if you don’t have any other conclusive facts that can overturn these. You got to say something, bruh.”
T.I. continued, giving his thoughts on the situation. “If you ain’t going to say nothing, you can’t expect nobody else to. I ain’t about to just shut up when you got facts out here that say it’s a woman been shot at the hands of another Black man within the culture. We’ve got to speak out on that. We’re the f**k n***as if we don’t.”

He also added how he feels about Megan and black women being protected:
“I feel like Black women are the most attacked, least protected, least defended, most vulnerable, and most exposed species on this Earth. I don’t know what the f**k happened. I know what she says happened, but I don’t know why it happened. But I know if it did happen, that’s everybody’s responsibility to make sure that this young lady feels supported and that she knows that the community and the culture is behind her. I think that’s important.
I think that’s all of our obligation and responsibilities, not even as artists, or as rappers, or as executives in this business, but as men, as a Black man. We can’t allow nobody, myself included, to be out here god**n letting off shots at women in bikinis. Now, I just have a problem with that.”
Meanwhile, Tory Lanez tweeted for the very first time since everything happened and wrote that he’s ready to talk:
“To my fans…I’m sorry for my silence…but respectfully…I got time today…9 PM PST.”
Welp, it looks like we’re finally getting his side of the story.
