Tory Lanez's Sentencing: Crucial Details for Megan Thee Stallion's Shooting

Rapper Tory Lanez is scheduled to be sentenced on Monday after being convicted on three felony charges related to the shooting of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, faces a possible 13-year prison sentence and deportation to Canada. Megan Thee Stallion, who was shot multiple times in 2020, has since risen to prominence in the music industry. The trial revealed conflicting testimonies, with Megan testifying that Lanez shot her, while Lanez's defense argued that her friend was the shooter. Megan has faced online hate and misinformation since the incident, with some industry peers attempting to discredit her allegations. Lanez's sentencing was delayed as his attorneys filed a motion for a new trial, which was denied in May 2023.
