Megan Thee Stallion expressed her concern that Tory Lanez might shoot her again.
In a significant legal development, American rapper Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, who is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence for shooting her in the feet following a party at Kylie Jenner’s residence in 2020.
On January 10, 2025, Megan appeared remotely via video link in a Los Angeles court to testify regarding her concerns for her safety. During her testimony, she expressed a profound fear that Lanez might attempt to harm her again, stating, “I feel like maybe he will shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”
The court, recognizing the seriousness of her claims, granted the restraining order, which prohibits Lanez from contacting Megan during its duration. According to Rolling Stone’s senior reporter Nancy Dillon, Lanez’s attorney has asserted that the rapper “has no desire to communicate with the petitioner ever again.”
This ruling underscores the ongoing repercussions of the violent incident that occurred nearly five years ago and reflects the legal system’s commitment to addressing issues of domestic violence and harassment. Megan Thee Stallion’s testimony highlights the importance of ensuring safety and support for survivors of such traumatic experiences.
