The “WAP” rapper later posted (and subsequently deleted) a screenshot of an alleged text message exchange between she and Lanez in which the “LUV” singer can be seen apologizing to Thee Stallion on the same day of the shooting, and explaining how he “can’t change what he did” and that he feels “horrible,”

However, Lanez later took to Twitter on Wednesday in an attempt to contextualize the texts, writing: “Good Dick had me fucking 2 best friends....and I got caught...that’s what I apologized 4...it’s sick how u spun it tho.”

Lanez also added, “U can’t buy and tweet your way out of this one..not today.”

Not too long after, Thee Stallion’s boyfriend, rapper and songwriter Pardison Fontaine, also entered the chat imploring Lanez to stop hopping on social media and to meet up with him instead.

“Put the phone down, let’s link. You n me, aint nothing to talk about,” Fontaine wrote on Twitter, directly tagging the “Say It” artist. “Don’t tweet nothing, see me.”

Lanez later responded, “We’ve had this encounter, you did nothing. Put your phone down big fella.”

The “Body” rapper also responded to Lanez tweets, writing on Instagram: “Fucking two best friends, nigga you SHOT ME. YOU KNOW WHATS WHAT YOU WERE APOLOGIZING FOR. YOU KEEP PUTTING A NARRATIVE OUT THAT ME AND MY FRIEND FELL OUT ABT YOU AND THAT’S NOT TRUE. WHY ARE YOU SKIPPING OVER THE SHOOTING, JUST ADMIT YOU SHOT ME! BC SHE DEFINITELY AIN’T DO IT AND I AINT SHOOT MY DAMN SELF. YOU THINK ITS OKAY TO SHOOT ME THEN HARASS ME ONLINE AND MAKE IT LIKE THIS WAS SOME WEIRD CAT FIGHT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.”

Later in the day, a senior reporter with the Rolling Stone posted details from court transcripts from the earlier hearing which stated that Lanez’s legal team was in the process of “retaining an expert with respect to DNA” to “review and confirm the LAPD analysis” which they deemed to be favorable for them. However, that analysis has not been disclosed to the public thanks to a protective order put in place to keep the findings from being released.
