American musician Daystar Peterson popularly known as Tory Lanez, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after being proven guilty last year for shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.
He was convicted on three counts of felonies; possession of a loaded and unregistered firearm, assault, and discharge of a firearm with gross negligence.
The rapper shot Megan in the foot after a party at Kylie Jenner's house during a heated argument. Megan later had the bullets removed from her feet during a surgical operation after the incident. The rapper has been held in jail since his trial in December.
Megan testified in court that Tory Lanez shot her on the foot after shouting at her to dance while she was walking away from an SUV they were in right after the party.
After the court gave its final verdict, Tory Lanez said that irrespective of the outcome, Megan is someone he still cares for deeply till this day.
He said, "If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them, I would. The victim was my friend. The victim is someone I still care for to this day. Everything I did wrong that night, I take full responsibility for.”
However, Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement on Monday that she hasn't been at peace since the shooting happened in 2020.
Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace. Slowly but surely, I'm healing and coming back, but I will never be the same", She said.
