Quick Thread -- Megan Thee Stallion was only on the stand for about 45 minutes this morning, but she walked through the entire shooting in that time. She entered court around 11:15 a.m. to shouts of support in the hallway. Tory Lanez did not look at her when she entered.

Megan was emotional as soon as she took the stand, describing Lanez as someone she "used to" be friends with before telling a prosecutor she didn't "feel good ... I can't believe I have to come up here and do this."

MTS says the argument in the SUV started because she wanted to leave the party at Kylie Jenner's house and Lanez didn't. He "had an attitude" and when they got in the car he told MTS "you need to stop lying to your friend" referring to Kelsey Harris.

MTS says she wanted to get out of the car right then and there but "I'm in the peak of being famous and I'm in a thong ... and I look all crazy" was obviously worreid abotu being photographed.

Eventually he lets her out of the car and MTS decribes the shooting as it has been in court and interviews before: Lanez yells "dance, bitch!" and fires 5 times, she says. "I'm in shock. I'm scared. I hear the gun going off. I can't believe he's shooting at me."

^Defense attorney George Mgdesyan has repeatedly argued no one else will testify Lanez (or anyone) yelled the phrase "dance, bitch!" ... phrasing the prosecution has used repeatedly and DDA Alexander Bott began his opening argument with.

MTS confirms that while the argument started about their romantic situation, it quickly escalted to a fight about their careers. Lanez apparently told MTS she "ain't shit" and MTS responded by insulting his stature in industry. She said that really set him off.

Asked why she didn't report shooting to LAPD during the vehicle stop: "At this time we are at the height of police brutality... I felt if I said this man had shot me, they might shoot first and ask questions later. I don't feel safe in the car. I don't feel safe with the police."

She adds: "First of all in the Black community, in my community, it's not really acceptable to be cooperating with police officers."

MTS also hits on a topic that's been central to the case between the Daystar record and Drake's recent lyrics that implied she lied about the shooting -- that she feared reporting Lanez could hurt her career:

"This whole situation in the industry is like a big boy's club. Like I'm telling on one of y'all friends, now you're all about to hate me."

Full write-up should publish @latimes shortly and I'll link it here at the end of the thread. MTS is back on the stand at 130pm, and presumably we will get to cross-examinations this afternoon.

Full story here. I'll be back to you all on breaks, thanks for following along: Megan Thee Stallion takes the stand in Torey Lanez trial with support from demonstrators

MTS repeated the allegation that Lanez offered both her and Kelsey Harris $1 million not to talk to the police, saying he couldn't get arrested again as he was on probation (Again, Mgdesyan says Lanez has no prior convictions thus he can't be on probation.)
