Tory Lanez

Tuesday marked the rescheduled date for a pre-trial hearing. Recently, Megan Thee Stallion blasted those spreading “false narratives” about the case.

Back in February, Megan Thee Stallion—who recently took to the Oscars stage for an Encanto-celebrating performance—shut down a court hearing-related claim which had started making the rounds on social media at the time. A subsequent Rolling Stone report added more context on Tuesday’s hearing, including the mention of a certain DJ Akademiks tweet. A trial start date is currently scheduled for Sept. 14.

The rapper spent five hours in custody before he was released on a higher $350,000 bail with the new “crystal clear” condition he can't mention Megan in any ...

“She was afraid that there had been recent police shootings, and she described her concern about the police possibly shooting the defendant since he had just committed a shooting.” Under further questioning by Ta last December, Stogner said gunshot residue can transfer to someone who’s “in the vicinity” of a gun that’s discharged. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Pete was vague about what happened. “(Megan) observed Mr. Peterson holding a firearm, and then she observed him start to shoot,” Stogner said. Holley went on to suggest that Harris may have had possession of the gun when it fired because investigators found gunshot residue on her hand. “He believed that they were trying to kill her. And that bail is being posted now,” Holley said after the hearing. “What (DJ Akademiks) said is that the DNA was not found on the weapon. The “Say It” rapper had a bondsman with him for the morning hearing and spent about five hours in custody. Holley also referred to a follow-up Feb. 23 tweet from DJ Akademiks that read, “I saw this doc myself.. “What he said is incorrect,” Holley told the court Tuesday, referring to the now-deleted tweet that caused a social media firestorm. Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, has pleaded not guilty in the high profile case dating back to July 2020.

This might be the straw that broke the camel's back for everyone that's following the felony assault case involving Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion.

“What (DJ Akademiks) said is that the DNA was not found on the weapon. “What he said was incorrect,” Holley told the court. He’s not supposed to contact or mention her at all.

Tory Lanez was reportedly handcuffed and put in custody during a court hearing Tuesday after a judge ruled that the rapper violated court orders in the ...

During that hearing, a police detective testified that Stallion had told him that Lanez yelled “Dance, bitch!” as he opened fire around her feet, according to the Los Angeles Times. In a December 2021 hearing, a Los Angeles judge allowed the case to move forward to a trial. As a result of the violation, the judge increased bail from $250,000 to $350,000 and ordered Lanez into custody until he paid the extra $100,000.

Lanez is charged with shooting at Megan Thee Stallion in the summer of 2020.

The vehicle was subsequently stopped by police officers responding to a call of a shooting, and she initially told officers and doctors that she had not been shot and that broken glass had caused the injuries to her feet, according to the detective. In a video posted on Instagram Live following the shooting, Megan Thee Stallion said, "Tory shot me. She said that a female friend of hers who had been in the vehicle ran up to her afterward, along with Lanez, and that he "emphatically apologized for what he did" and offered to drive her home. She told the detective that she was "extremely scared and embarrassed," was "scared he was going to get in trouble" and was concerned that the police might shoot him, but was "sincere," "visibly distraught" and "crying" when she subsequently admitted that Lanez had shot her, Stogner testified. The charges include allegations that he personally used a firearm and inflicted great bodily injury. The detective said Megan Thee Stallion told police that Lanez "offered her money" and begged her not to say anything, telling her that he was on probation -- something Stogner said he could never substantiate.

A Los Angeles judge set Lanez's new bail at $350,000 after prosecutors argued for no bail or a $5 million bail, Rolling Stone reports. Lanez appeared in court ...

Lanez appeared in court with a bondsman, and his lawyer told Rolling Stone his bail is being posted. Several hours after the bail was set, Lanez was released from custody and left the courthouse in a Lamborghini, according to Rolling Stones’ Nancy Dillon. The hearing focused on a recent tweet in which he seemed to address Megan as “u” after he was not supposed to mention or speak to Megan amid the felony-assault case over the alleged 2020 shooting. Tory Lanez was arrested in court over his February tweets about Megan Thee Stallion with a judge ruling they violated the protective order in his ongoing assault case.

Lanez, who appeared to smirk as he was placed in handcuffs in the courtroom on Tuesday, was immediately taken into custody to be processed on the new bail.

On Tuesday, the judge said prosecutors believe a report on the evidence was given to an outside party in January, in violation of a previous court protective order that prevents discovery from being shared with members of the public, the press, or anyone not involved in the case. Lanez has denied responsibility for the shooting, and he and his attorney have tried to cast doubt on how Megan was injured. After deleting his initial tweet, Akademiks dug in, saying that he had seen a document saying that the analysis was "inconclusive in finding TORY DNA on the gun or magazine," and Megan accused him of "spreading false narratives" about the case in a tweet of her own. Lanez is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on June 9. That's all I ask," as he left the courthouse with his entourage. According to Billboard, Lanez made a surprise appearance at the event, appearing onstage with DaBaby shortly after Megan performed her set. In a statement provided to BuzzFeed News and other outlets after the February hearing, the Los Angeles district attorney's office said it was aware of the issue, adding the statements on social media "do not accurately reflect the proceedings or the evidence in this case." In actuality, Lanez's attorney merely told the court that his team was retaining a DNA expert and hoped to confirm the police analysis, which she described as "favorable" from their standpoint, according to a transcript of the proceedings reviewed by BuzzFeed News. Initially, Megan told officers she cut her feet on broken glass, later revealing she was too scared to tell the truth in the moment that she had been shot. He was released about five hours later and drove off in a Lamborghini, according to online booking records and a Rolling Stone reporter at the scene. Then Lanez, who was not present for the proceedings, jumped in, tweeting, "u can’t buy and tweet your way out of this one ..not today." According to prosecutors, Lanez and Megan, whose full name is Megan Pete, were riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills on July 12, 2020, when they got into an argument, prompting her to ask to be let out of the vehicle.

During a Tuesday court hearing, Tory Lanez was arrested for violating court orders by allegedly sharing discovery on social media.

Megan also told the detective that Lanez made "a reference to the fact he was already on probation." "You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and s—. Stop lying," she said, as captured by a fan's account on Twitter. "Why lie? "Y'all still don't see an ABUSER picking with me ? The first court date got pushed back bc of the inauguration but I can't wait until the MF FACTS come out !" before shooting Megan in the foot, several outlets, including Rolling Stone and TMZ, reported. And in fact, the swab of the gun indicates 'inconclusive,' that there were four contributors," Holley reportedly said in court. We are pleased that the Court rejected those outrageous requests."
