Black women are so unprotected & we hold so many things in to protect the feelings of others w/o considering our own. It might be funny to y’all on the internet and just another messy topic for you to talk about but this is my real life and I’m real life hurt and traumatized.

Megan's tweet comes after her Instagram post on the same day, where she shared how thankful she is to be alive after the shooting incident that resulted in the rapper to suffer gunshot wounds. Per Megan, the scars are the result of a horrendous crime that was purposely done to her, having the intention to torment her physically.
In a report by Huffing Ton Post U.K., Megan repudiated the rumors that the cops arrested her that same night, as the concerned police officers were the ones who drove the rapper to the hospital. Before the cops drove Megan to the nearest hospital, they found a gun in the SUV.
Megan underwent surgeries to remove the bullets and is now focusing on her recovery so she could go back to what she loves the most: making music.
At the time before the shooting incident happened, Megan and Tory Lanez were seen enjoying the pool with entrepreneur-model Kylie Jenner. A few moments after, the police officers received a call about a "disturbance" near Megan's area. The police officers now hold the CCTV footage of a nearby house and are currently investigating it.
Moreover, Tory Lanez, 27, was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on a "concealed weapon charge" and immediately posted bail.
Tory Lanez's team is yet to comment on the case.
