    Rapper Tory Lanez of Canada received a 10-year sentence for killing Megan Thee Stallion, another musician.

    Following a party in 2020, Lanez and Grammy winner Megan Thee Stallion got into a fight, and Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion in the feet.

    In December, he was found guilty of three charges involving firearms, and he has been imprisoned ever since.

    Megan Thee Stallion required surgery to have the bullet fragments out of her foot after the shooting, which polarized the music industry.

    After the verdict, the LA District Attorney claimed that her notoriety had contributed to raising awareness of the problem of violence against women.

    “The fact that she is a successful entertainer has brought an important spotlight on the issue of violence against women,” said prosecutor George Gascón.

    After leaving Kylie Jenner, a reality star, for a pool party, the shooting happened on the way home.

    The judge had been asked by the prosecution to impose a 13-year prison term. For shooting a “vulnerable victim” on a quiet residential street and for waging “a campaign to humiliate and re-traumatize her” after the attack, they claimed Lanez deserved a lengthy sentence.

    Tanishia Wright, the director of victim services at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, spoke to reporters following the sentencing hearing and said: “Violence against black women and girls is a long standing national epidemic that has long been overlooked and under-reported.”

    “Women of colour more times than not do not come forward to report victimisation due to the fear they will not be believed,” she continued.

    In the last seven years, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, has had seven US top 10 albums.

    Last December, he was found guilty of three felonies: assault with a semi-automatic weapon; possession of a loaded, unregistered firearm in a motor vehicle; and grossly negligent discharge of a firearm. Since being declared guilty, the 31-year-old has been detained.
