Tory Lanez Sentenced for Shooting Megan Thee Stallion

Rapper Tory Lanez is set to be sentenced for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot outside a Los Angeles party in 2020. Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was found guilty of three felony charges in December and faces a maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months behind bars. The case drew attention to the scrutiny Black women face when reporting abuse and resulted in online vitriol against Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez's lawyers have requested probation and entry into a substance abuse program, while prosecutors have asked for a 13-year sentence.
