Rapper Tory Lanez attacked in California prison
Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed 14 times in prison, leading to his hospitalization, officials confirmed.
Megan Thee Stallion is hitting back after Tory Lanez’s legal team claimed new evidence suggests the now-jailed rapper didn’t shoot her in 2020.
In a post to TikTok on May 19, the Atlanta-based rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, took aim at both Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, and his fans, accusing him of lying and calling him a “demon.”
“At what point are y’all gonna stop making me have to re-live being shot BY TORY !?” Megan Thee Stallion wrote. “At what point are Tory and y’all FANS gonna stop lying? Like, how much is the check to keep harassing me?”
She continued: “One min him/y’all said I was never shot, now y’all letting him play in y’all face AGAIN and say I was shot but it wasn’t him oh ok… ?!” Her comments come after Peterson’s legal team, Unite the People, claimed they had several new witnesses willing to testify that he didn’t shoot her.
Peterson was convicted in 2022 of shooting Pete in the ankle two years before, after an alleged argument in Hollywood Hills, California. The Canadian singer-songwriter, who pleaded not guilty on all counts ahead of his trial, was charged with discharging a firearm with gross negligence; assault with a semiautomatic firearm; and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
He is currently serving a 10-year sentence and was hospitalized earlier this month after being stabbed multiple times by a fellow inmate.
In an update on May 14, Peterson’s father, Sonstar Peterson, said his son was “recovering remarkably” after the incident and that medical professionals had already removed “the tubes that were draining the fluids from his lungs.”
Peterson’s father also had a message for Pete, saying during the press conference: “We have prayed for her on many occasions.”
The goodwill does not extend in both directions, though, as Megan Thee Stallion in December sought a restraining order against Peterson and his fans, alleging online harassment and doubling down on the claims in her recent post.
“How y’all mad at the person that got shot ????” she wrote, “FACTS ARE FACTS, he did it, it was PROVEN IN COURT.” Taking aim at “the hate campaign on the internet,” she continued, “TORY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE. You are a … demon.”
Despite her legal victory against Peterson, the “WAP” rapper alleged in the request for a restraining order that Peterson orchestrated a “campaign of harassment” against her, including employing a network of bloggers to slander her online.
Demanding he stay at least 100 yards away from her and her home, vehicle and place of work, she also asked the court to order him not to contact her, directly or indirectly, and to stop his alleged online harassment.
