The New York Times reported that Rapper Tory Lanez had been given a 10 Year sentence for shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez, legally known as Daystar Peterson, has had a long history of alcohol addiction and childhood trauma. His legal team insisted their client served probation or three years in prison with probation and mandatory rehab.

But Meghan Thee Stallion’s lawyers refused, as they were seeking a 13-year sentence, citing Peterson has “waged a campaign to humiliate and re-traumatize [Megan]. ” Stallion, legally known as Megan Pete, said in a statement on 7th August, “He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma. This is a statement for all survivors that their lives matter and there is zero tolerance for the torture that accompanies violence.”

Recounting Of The Incident Between Megan Thee Stallion And Tory Lanez

‘Hot Girl Summer’ rapper has kept a low profile since the 2020 incident.

It all began at Kylie Jenner’s party at the Hollywood Hills, as explained in the Rolling Stones article published in 2022. According to Megan Thee Stallion, Petersen got upset with her when she asked to leave the party. Official reports said that Peterson, his bodyguard, Pete, and her former friend Kelsey Harris were together at the time of the assault. The suspicious nature of Kelsey and Peterson’s friendship led to an argument in the car.

Soon, things became more personal as she called him out on his lack of professional success. Peterson retaliated by shooting the Texas-born rapper in the foot five times, sending the rapper into unimaginable trauma. The trial was a disgusting display of lies as both Peterson and Harris gave falsifying accounts of what happened. But ultimately, the truth prevailed. The ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker avoided public exposure following the incident. But with this behind her, she can hopefully recover and find her way back to music.
