The verdict is in, and Tory Lanez has been found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Lanez, who's government name is Daystar Peterson, was found guilty of all three felony firearm counts - discharging a firearm with gross negligence, guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and guilty of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
The Canadian rapper pleaded not guilty in November 2020 and faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison along with subsequent deportation. A sentencing hearing is set for Jan. 27.
Shortly after the verdict, Daystar's father Sonstar Peterson and Tory's stepmother shared their outrage, and even called out Jay-Z.
Senior reporter Meghan Cuniff took to social media to reveal what happened.
Tory Lanez’s father stood up guest and screamed. “This is a wicked system!” He screamed at the prosecutors that they are evil and they know exactly what they did here. His stepmother stood up screaming and yelling. Father was yelling about “Roc Nation.”
Tory Lanez was remanded on the spot, led out in handcuffs by sheriff’s deputies. There were six total in the courtroom, two at door and four behind Lanez, and there was quite a scene when they tried to get Lanez’s father and stepmother under control.
One woman in the gallery held up her hand as Tory’s father was screaming about Roc Nation and wicked injustice, repeating “In the name of Jesus!” Deputies were forcing them all out into the hallway and telling the gallery we had to stay seated.
One woman turned and looked at the reporters sitting behind her, including me, and said, “Jay Z is a bitch. Report that: Jay Z is a bitch.”
He now faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison along with subsequent deportation. A sentencing hearing is set for Jan. 27.
