"A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:
The rapper Megan Pete, better known as Megan Thee Stallion, testified in a Los Angeles courtroom yesterday against fellow rapper Daystar Peterson, who performs under the name Tory Lanez. Now, Pete alleges that Peterson shot her during an argument in 2020. The trial has been a hot topic among fans and other artists and has sparked conversations around male dominance and violence against women in the hip-hop community. NPR's Sidney Madden is the host of our podcast Louder Than a Riot and has been following this trial. All right, Sidney, so fill us in on how we got here. The two were friends, but she says that he shot her a couple of years ago.
SIDNEY MADDEN, BYLINE: Yes, the two were friends. And we've even learned in court proceedings in the last couple of days that they had an intimate relationship before the night of July 12, 2020. That's when the two were leaving an LA pool party in the early morning hours in a vehicle. And that's when an argument broke out between herself, Tory and Megan's former friend Kelsey that resulted in Megan being shot in both feet. And that's really the fastest way to say it. There's a lot of details associated with this case. Now, Tory is pleading not guilty on all three of the charges he's facing - assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of that concealed firearm and negligent discharge of that firearm. And his defense asserts that he was not the shooter that night. But Meg took the stand yesterday and shared in great detail and through many tears that he very much was the shooter.
MARTÍNEZ: Now, both Pete and Peterson have very vocal fans, so they're supporting each of them. Tell us, though, about some of the conversations that this trial has sparked about violence against women in hip-hop."
