On December 13, Megan Thee Stallion took the stand with Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta. Along with her testimony about what happened, she also expresses her frustration with how the case was unfolding in the media as well as among male musicians.

While earlier the "Savage" singer had denied having a sexual relationship with Lanez at the time of the incident, she now revealed that she was involved with him, something that has made many villanize her since then.

Said Megan, "every man in a position of power in the music industry has taken his side. Not a day goes by without [me] being called a liar. This whole thing is about who I was having sex with, not who shot me, and I don't know why."

At the time, as Megan explained on Kathy Ta's prodding, she was unwilling to discuss the shooting as she was on an upward career trajectory. "I just did a song with Beyoncé, and now she knows I got shot. I just did something I've always wanted, and now it'll be overshadowed…. This situation has been worse for me while he's more popular — I've turned into a type of villain while he's a hero."

All this is also affecting her relationship with her boyfriend, Pardison 'Pardi' Fontaine, with whom she's been for the last two years.
