Rapper Tory Lanez charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion

Tory Lanez has been charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

The rapper whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is accused of shooting Megan several times at her feet and wounding her.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, it happened after the pair got into an argument whilst riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills on July 12th.

Tory Lanez, who’s 28, is also charged with carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

If convicted the Canadian artist faces up to 23 years in prison.

Court hearings will begin on October 13 at the Foltz Criminal Justice Centre in Los Angeles.

At first, Megan, whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, claimed she was cut by glass, but she later posted on Instagram that she had been shot by Tory.

The 24-year-old also claimed she was scared police would start shooting if she said a gun was involved.

“I didn’t tell the police nothing, because I didn’t want us to get in no more trouble than we was about to get in.”
