Tory Lanez will officially serve his 10 year sentence after he sat in front of Judge David V. Herriford today and his motion for bail was reportedly denied according to reporter, Meghann Cuniff.
As we previously reported, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Prosecutors were looking for Lanez to receive 13 years, but the judge sentenced the 31-year-old rapper to ten. While being sentenced today Tory Lanez shed light on this whole ordeal and shared a few words to the victim, Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez said in his statement that Meg is “someone I still care for dearly to this day, regardless of what she may think of me.” He also referred to Megan as his “friend.”
He continued to write in his statement on how him and Megan first bonded. “We both lost our mothers. We would sit there and drink, and drink until we got numb. He also spoke about the shooting and said, “I said some very immature things that I shouldn’t have said. I revealed some secrets that I shouldn’t have revealed.”
Megan Thee Stallion wasn’t present during his sentencing, but she did submit her own statement to the judge for it to be read. In the hand written letter, Megan Thee Stallion shared, “I’ve not experienced a single day of peace,” she wrote. She added, “He lied to anyone that would listen.” The letter continued to read of her saying, mercy is for people who show remorse and Tory Lanez has shown none. Her statement continued saying, “he not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma. He tried to position himself as a victim and set out to destroy my character and my soul. He lied to anyone that would listen and paid bloggers to disseminate false information about the case on social media. He released music videos to damage my character and continue his crusade. At first he tried to deny the shooting ever happened. Then, he attempted to place blame on my former best friend. In his tantrum of lies, he’s blamed the system, blamed the press and, as of late, he’s using his childhood trauma to shield himself and avoid culpability.”
Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion were involved in a controversial incident that occurred in July 2020. Megan Thee Stallion accused Tory Lanez of shooting her in the feet after a dispute following a party. Tory Lanez was subsequently charged with felony assault in connection with the incident. The case garnered significant media attention and sparked discussions about violence against women, gun control, and celebrity behavior.
