Since 2020, Tory Lanez has been ruling over the headlines after Megan Thee Stallion claimed that he shot him in the foot after fleeing a Kylie Jenner party back then.
Now, two years since the alleged encounter happened, the investigation has reached a new peak - the highly-awaited and high-profile trial.
In the first few days of the highly-publicized trial, Tory Lanez, formally known as Daystar Peterson, was trying to shift the blame against him and pointing it to Kelsey Harris, Megan Thee Stallion's best friend who is also present at the scene of the crime.
Onlookers and the public were quite actually shocked to have heard what came out of Harris' statements when she took the stand earlier this year.
She actually recanted all of her statements incriminating Lanez last September 2022.
In her statements made months ago, Harris clearly pointed out that Tory shot Megan Thee Stallion in a text. Now, Harris claimed not to remember that she sent the text and even said that if she might, she must have done it because of confusion.
Now, on another day of the trial, prosecutors played a recording of the September 2020 confession of Harris, who seemed to be very aware and sane while clearly recalling the scene.

"Kelsey also told prosecutors, "Honestly, when I argue, I just kind of say things that are hurtful too." She talked about Lanez threatening to shoot her, saying she told him, "If you shoot me, you shoot me; I guess it's my time to go." Then the argument turned to artistry," Harris said at the time.
Apparently, Megan said that the reason why Tory became famous was that he had collaborated with Jack Harlow on "WHAT'S POPPIN? This, apparently, angered Tory, who did the unthinkable afterward.
"Kelsey describes Meg getting out of the Escalade, and she describes Tory shooting in detail. She says she turned at the sound of the 2nd or 3rd gunshot and saw Tory on the right front passenger side, "shooting over the door," Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff recalled in a series of tweets.
Harris even affirmed that Tory shot "definitely" in Megan's direction. Even recalls her fear for life after being pulled by her hair and neck by Tory Lanez because " it was really hard."
Cuniff also pointed out that Harris' retraction was a "colossal mistake" in her in-depth coverage of the story.
