Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been handed a 10-year prison sentence following his conviction for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. The incident occurred after the pair left a party in Los Angeles in 2020. Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, shot Megan following a gathering at the home of reality star Kylie Jenner. A jury found Lanez guilty of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. Lanez addressed the court before the sentencing, expressing remorse and taking responsibility for his actions. His legal team plans to appeal the sentence and conviction, as well as file for bail. The case shed light on the challenges faced by Black women when reporting abuse. The sentencing judge acknowledged the difficulty in reconciling Lanez’s actions with his positive attributes, but emphasized the consequences of his actions. Prosecutors highlighted Lanez’s mistreatment of Megan, including calling her a liar and subjecting her to harassment. Lanez could also face deportation back to Canada, although his lawyers argued for probation and participation in a substance abuse program. Megan, who initially lied to the police about the shooting out of fear, testified about the physical and emotional pain she continues to endure. The case drew attention to the issue of violence against women, with hopes that Megan’s bravery will inspire others to come forward..
