Tory Lanez has had his first day in court during which he took the opportunity to plead ‘not guilty’ to charges related to the July incident when he is alleged to have shot Megan Thee Stallion in both of her feet. And while it is almost certainly true that someone shot Megan, Lanez’s plea seems to suggest that it was not him. Nor was it he who was carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle (the other charge the rapper pleaded ‘not guilty’ to).Facing these two felony charges, Lanez (Daystar Peterson is the Canadian performer’s real name) could be looking at a sentence of over 22 years in prison if he’s found guilty on both counts.Lanez has
previously asserted his innocence in the court of public opinion, using Instagram to tell his followers he’s been falsely accused and to say that he continues to view Megan as his “friend.” Notably, she has a very different take on the incident.[video_embed id='2059622']RELATED: Tory Lanez addresses Megan Thee Stallion shooting allegations[/video_embed]“I was shot in both of my feet and I had to get surgery to get the s#*t taken out, to get the bullets taken out. It was super scary. It was the worst experience of my life and it’s not funny,” she revealed on Instagram in late July. “Yes … Tory shot me,” she added in August. “You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and s#*t. Stop lying. Why lie? I don’t understand.” She also
tweeted her thoughts on Lanez’s latest claims of ‘It wasn’t me’, calling him “genuinely crazy.”The facts are that on July 12, Megan was taken to an LA hospital to receive treatment for gunshot wounds she had in each foot. It’s also known that she was with Lanez immediately before her hospital visit and that he was arrested that day.Megan Thee Stallion has yet to comment on Lanez’s plea, probably because she’s too busy working and releasing a brand new album. ‘Good News’ drops tonight at midnight.
