Tory Lanez Has Been Found Guilty of Shooting Megan Thee Stallion
The rapper is facing a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison.
A jury in Los Angeles on Friday reached a verdict and found Tory Lanez guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot during an altercation in 2020. The Canadian rapper pleaded not guilty to assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of an unregistered and loaded firearm and discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, but the jury — which consisted of seven women and five men — discussed for one day before convicting him on all three counts.
In her trial testimony, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that the situation flared up into a heated argument between her Lanez and her former friend and assistant Kelsey Harris as she wanted confirmation about the two being in an intimate relationship. And as she exited the vehicle, she expressed that she started to walk away and Lanes yelled, “Dance, b***h,” as he shot at her feet.
Lanez is now facing a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison, and this will be determined during his sentencing on January 27. It’s also likely that he will be forced to leave the country and go back to his native country of Canada. During the nine-day trial, he did not take a stand in his defense.
