Megan Thee Stallion has shared images of her gunshot wounds after trolls accused her of lying about the incident.

The rapper received surgery last month after being shot in both feet as she left a party.

In a since-deleted Instagram post, Megan shared images of the wounds after trolls on social media claimed her ability to dance meant she was lying about the injuries.

“Lol what I have learned abt majority of the people on social media is y’all like to hear bad news before good news, a lie spreads quicker than the truth, and y’all really be believing the s*** YALL make up [sic],” Megan captioned the post.

“I got hit at the back of my feet because when I got shot I was WALKING AWAY FACING THE BACK.”

She continued: “Why would I lie abt getting shot? Why are y’all so upset that I don’t wanna be in the bed sad? Why y’all upset that I can walk?

“I usually don’t address internet bulls*** but y’all people are so sick.

“God was really watching over me and I’m healing so well! Sorry I’m not as sad and miserable as a lot of y’all lol but ima keep being Megan Thee Mf STALLION.”

Megan previously addressed social media users joking about her injuries in an Instagram Live, saying: “It’s nothing to joke about.

“It’s nothing to make up fake stories about. I didn’t put my hands on nobody. I didn’t deserve to get shot. I didn’t do s***.”

Megan, 25, revealed in July that she was “grateful to be alive” after the incident.

She did not address who shot her, but said on Instagram that the wounds were “a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me.”

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed rapper Tory Lanez, who was with Megan Thee Stallion, was arrested on a concealed weapon charge on Sunday and was bailed later that day.
