Tory Lanez's plea for new trial denied in Megan Thee Stallion shooting case.

Rapper Tory Lanez has been denied a new trial by a Los Angeles judge after being convicted of three felonies for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet. Lanez's lawyers argued that evidence was wrongly admitted at the trial, but the judge rejected their arguments. Lanez faces up to 22 years in prison and deportation to Canada. His lawyers plan to appeal to a higher court. The shooting and trial sparked cultural issues and arguments, including the protection of Black women and gender politics in hip-hop.
