More bombshell revelations concerning Megan Thee Stallion's shooting incident involving Tory Lanez continue to emerge.
Jonathan Wright, the Houston rapper's hairstylist and friend, reportedly confirmed Megan's explosive accusation that Lanez offered her a large lump sum of money to remain silent about the alleged shooting.
Wright, who has styled Lanez for years, stated in an interview with the Beyond The Chair podcast on April 29 that Lanez contacted him immediately following the incident.
"The n**** DM'ed me! I'm like, 'Yo, you went the wrong way!'"
Wright expressed his outrage following the encounter, telling the show's hosts that he "wanted to go beat up" Tory.
During her long interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, the "Hot Girl Summer" singer broke down in tears as she recounted the events leading up to the alleged shooting. Following an all-night party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home, the Houston rapper said she left with Tory, her close friend Kelsey Harris a.k.a. Kelsey Nicole, and two other unidentified subjects, soon before Lanez began feuding with someone in the backseat.
The 27-year-old actress stated that the dispute became so heated that she no longer desired to be in the car. \

When she looked down at her feet and seen blood flowing, the hip-hop artist was taken aback. According to Meg, Tory instantly apologized for his erratic behavior and offered her and the other witnesses in the car "a million dollars" to remain silent about the incident.
"I'm like, "What are you talking about?" Like, "Why are you offering me money right now?" Help me. Like, and if you're sorry, just help me," she shared.
Additionally, CBS News reported that they obtained an actual text message from Kelsey's phone that stated, "Help, Tory shot Meg!" corroborated Meg's assertions.
Initially, the actor lied about the incident out of fear that the LAPD might shoot if they discovered the vehicle contained a weapon.
"I didn't want them to kill any of us or shoot any of us. So, I just said, "I stepped on glass," because, for some reason, I was just trying to protect all of us because I didn't want them to kill us. Like, even though this person just did this to me, my first reaction still was to try to save us," she explained, struggling to hold back tears.
Meg and Tory's trial will officially start on Sept. 14. If he is convicted, Lanez might be jailed for quite a long time - 22 years and eight months in prison to be exact.
