“Never Been Violent Towards Women”: Tory Lanez Breaks Silence in Emotional Statement on ‘False’ Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Narrative Amid Appeal

Tory Lanez denies violence and maintains innocence while his legal team files a new appeal citing withheld medical evidence, challenging his 10-year California prison sentence.

  • Amid his incarceration, Tory Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, gave his first televised interview to NBC News after his 2023 verdict upheld a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
  • In 2022, Lanez faced trial on charges tied to a July 2020 shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion, where he declined to testify and disputed being seen as a 'monster'.
  • Denying the allegations, Lanez told NBC News he has never been violent toward women and insists he would not shoot one, while his legal team announced appeals and a clemency push alleging withheld medical records.
  • Megan's camp says the case harmed her mental health and rejects attempts to overturn the verdict, with Spiro, Megan's lawyer, affirming Lanez was properly convicted and rejecting his claims.
  • Looking ahead, Lanez says he is focused on healing and accountability, telling NBC News he does not want to attack Megan Thee Stallion and asks California courts to review his case for fairness.
