Megan Thee Stallion in tears as she recalls needing surgery for gunshot wounds

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion has opened up in a tearful display about being shot in the feet.

Megan - real name Megan Pete - addressed her shooting in an emotional social media video on Monday.

She recently told on Instagram that she had "suffered gunshot wounds, as a result of a crime that was committed against [her]."

While specifics of the case remain unclear, it has been reported that musician Tory Lanez had pulled the trigger following a fiery brawl.

He was arrested that same night on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, later released on bond.

His rep has not responded to Mirror Online's request for comment.

Megan said in a new video: "I was shot in both of my feet...I was shot in both of my feet, and I had to get surgery to get the s**t taken out, get the bullets taken out."

As she wiped away tears, Megan continued: "It was super scary. Oh lord, I didn't think I was gonna cry! But yeah, I had to get surgery, super scary, it was just the worst experience."

She went on to hit out at those who made light of the incident: "And it's not funny. It's nothing to joke about. It was nothing for y'all to start going and making up fake stories about.

"I didn't put my hands on nobody, I didn't deserve to get shot, I didn't do s**t...and thank God that the bullets didn't touch bones, they didn't break tendons."

Megan added: "Imagine being 25, and you don't have both of your parents. My mama was my best friend, you know I'm not over that.

"So you've got to try to feel like you're in a space with a bunch of people who make you happy..."

She explained why she hadn't been discussing the incident in recent weeks: "It's not that I was protecting somebody.

"I just wasn't ready to speak. That's not just some s**t you get on the Internet and talk about.

"So f**k y'all and all my fake a*s friends and the blogs and their sources.
