In Megan's powerful statement read at Lanez's sentencing, she noted that he has continuously refused to accept responsibility: "At first, he tried to deny the shooting ever happened. Then, he attempted to place the blame on my former best friend. In his tantrum of lies, he’s blamed the system, blamed the press and, as of late, he’s using his childhood trauma to shield himself and avoid culpability."

Lanez addressed that in his Instagram post, claiming he took responsibility for "all the verbal and intimate moments that I share with the parties involved."

However, he continued to deny actually shooting the WAP artist, writing, "In no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I'm being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something I did not do."

"I refuse to stop fighting till I come out victorious. Tough times don't last, tough people do," he added.
