“I’m gonna apologize to Megan Thee Stallion,” 50 said. “I said some things, and it was because on social media I posted things that—when she was with Gayle [King]—she said, ‘Were you intimate with Tory Lanez?’ And she said, ‘What?’ and it was like, ‘No.’ And I was like, ‘Ah, she lying.’ At that point I knew she was lying, it wouldn’t be no reason for them to be around each other. From that it felt like she was lying, to me.”
50, legal name Curtis Jackson, also said that after hearing the leaked jail call between Lanez and Meg's former best friend and assistant, Kelsey Harris, that he felt like he owed the three-time Grammy Award winner an apology.

“I should apologize to her, because when I heard the phone conversation that made me feel like, ‘Oh sh*t, ‘now I know what happened,” he continued. “I’m sure that was probably what swayed people in court, too.”
Lanez, legal name Daystar Peterson, was found guilty on December 23, by a Los Angeles jury on three felony counts. The Canadian artist is now seeking an appeal for a new trial, per Rolling Stone.
