Here’s the latest widely reported context on the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion shooting.
Updates through late 2022: Tory Lanez was found guilty on three charges related to the 2020 July incident (assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence). Megan Thee Stallion testified that Lanez shot at her foot during a confrontation in a vehicle; Lanez did not testify in his defense. This verdict carried potential substantial prison time.[1][3][5]
Sentencing and aftereffects: Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023 after the 2022 verdict, with ongoing appeals and related legal proceedings continuing in 2024–2025. Megan Thee Stallion publicly discussed the impact of the incident in various interviews and media appearances.[3][9]
Security and prison status (as of 2025–2026): There were reports of Lanez being attacked in prison in 2025; authorities investigated the incident and his broader confinement status and health. This development did not change the fundamental conviction and sentence framework but affected his immediate circumstances.[4][7]
