While Tory Lanez and his new defense team, which includes former Death Row lawyer David Kenner, organizes their strategy going into the appellate phase of his conviction, a mugshot from his re-arrest has now surfaced and has more than a few people wondering what’s going to happen next in the saga of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting.

The smile on Lanez’s face has some believing that he may have some inclination as to what’s next to happen in his case. An appeal of his conviction could mean a new trial for the Canadian native, but for now, he’s currently behind bars awaiting sentencing.

While critics IG complimented Tory on his fresh new cut, others said he looks like he knows that he’ll be getting out soon. Either way, the “Why Did I” rapper appears to be in great spirits considering the circumstances.

Tory Lanez Assault Trial Wanes On As Witness Says He Saw “The Girl Shoot First”

megan thee stallion tory lanez

Tuesday, December 20 marked day seven of the Tory Lanez assault trial. A man by the name of Sean Kelly was called to testify what he saw went down that summer night in 2020 between Megan Thee Stallion, Kelsey Harris, and Tory Lanez.

Kelly stated that he had seen the entire situation from his apartment window. He said that he had first seen an angry fight between two women, presumably Megan and Kelsey, and then Tory Lanez and his bodyguard got involved too. Kelly alleges that he saw the first gun flash go off “nearest to the girls… about the same time the smallest individual (Lanez) got out of the car.”

“I believe I saw the girl shoot first,” he added. “[But] I believed it was fireworks.” He then stated that he saw Tory Lanez begin shooting erratically.

“I just saw he was very angry, shouting, and then the flashes then came from him. I never saw a gun,” Kelly stated. “They were all fighting, so I just assumed he grabbed the gun.”

In a turn of events, he said the two men and one of the women began to beat up the other woman as she was crawling away. He said that it looked like they were going to throw her into the river.

“everyone was fighting — even the driver,” Kelly said. He added that even Lanez was “pushing and fighting both girls…then everyone started beating one girl. It appeared that they were going to throw her in the river.”

Tory is still facing felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of a concealed, unregistered firearm, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. On Monday, December 19, prosecutors asked the judge to add charges of witness tampering to the case as well. However, this was quickly dismissed.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Ex-Best Friend Kelsey Harris Invokes 5th Amendment During Testimony, Says Original Claims Weren’t Accurate

kelsey harris

Megan Thee Stallion’s former best friend, Kelsey Harris, testified on day 3 of the Tory Lanez shooting trial. Harris was supposed to back up the prosecutor’s story about Tory being the shooter, which she did, but repeatedly invoked her 5th amendment rights and said that her original claims about the incident were not entirely accurate.

Harris apparently invoked her 5th amendment right as her testimony began and requested immunity from prosecution. Harris would go on to invoke her 5th amendment right again when she was asked if Lanez had threatened to shoot her.

The prosecutor, Kathy Ta, was referring to a September interview where she had made the claim that Lanez had threatened to shoot her. The interview was played in court for the jury. “Do you remember in this interview with (another prosecutor) and myself, that you mentioned he threatened to shoot you?” Ta asked Harris.

Harris added that her recollection of the events that occurred the night of the shooting was “blurry” because she, Megan, and Tory had been drinking heavily at Kylie Jenner’s house. Harris went on to testify that Lanez began to flirt with Jenner and Megan was ready to leave. She claims that they had left, but returned once Megan realized she had forgotten a slipper.

Apparently when they got back, Meg, Kelsey and Tory got into an argument and got into a car where the argument continued. She added that Lanez began to talk about his sexual relationship with Megan.

“I don’t know what’s going on,” Harris said. “He’s just saying that they had a relationship, they were having a relationship. An argument ensues and just continues. Me and her are arguing about her disloyalty.” Harris also denied that she had taken any hush money from Tory.

Contrary to her September interview, Harris said on the stand that she did not see Tory with the gun.

Harris is expected to return to the stand today 12/15.

Megan Thee Stallion Testifies On Day 2 Of Trial, Says She Wishes Tory Lanez Killed Her In 2020 Shooting

MTS trial

Megan Thee Stallion testified yesterday in the 2020 shooting incident involving herself and Tory Lanez. According to reports, Megan was on the stand for 45 minutes on Tuesday morning, and her post-lunch testimony got even more emotional. Megan even said that she wishes Tory Lanez had just killed her during the 2020 shooting incident so she wouldn’t have to be on the stand.

“I wish he would’ve just killed me if I knew I’d have to go through this,” Megan said. The Grammy award-winning artist added that the aftermath has been more difficult. She says that speaking up against Tory has put a target on her back and she is called a liar on the internet for insisting that Lanez shot her. She also said that she is constantly being slut shamed since the incident and that people are always questioning her about who she has slept with.

That morning, Megan had testified that her former best friend Kelsey Harris and Tory Lanez had gotten into a fight in the car, which prompted the “WAP” artist to get out of the car. However, just a few seconds after she got out of the vehicle, she claims that Tory, who was originally seated in the back seat, made his way to the passenger seat, yelled “dance bitch,” and started shooting at her.

Megan added that following the incident, Tory told her not to say anything and that he would give her $1 million.

When questioned by the defense about her friend Kelsey, Megan said that she did not know where Kelsey was when everything was going down. However, she said that she did not see Kelsey with the gun.

Ben Simmons Responds To Claims That He Slept With Megan Thee Stallion With ‘False Accusations’ Meme

Ben Simmons Returns to Philly

The trial between the state of California vs. Tory Lanez over the 2020 shooting incident of Megan Thee Stallion began yesterday. Already the case is heating up after the defense revealed some previously unknown information to the jury, and some information regarding Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons.

According to the defense, Tory Lanez told Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris that the Traumazine artist had been going behind her back and sleeping with the same men that her best friend slept with. Tory included himself, DaBaby, and Ben Simmons in that list of men.

Shortly after the internet found out that Ben Simmons had been sleeping with Meg and Kelsey, the Brooklyn Nets star decided to take to Instagram where he shared a recent meme of Rick Ross screaming “Accusations! False accusations,” during an AEW wrestling promo.

While prosecutors try to establish that Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion in the feet and yelled “dance bitch” out of the car, the defense is saying that there is a lot to the story that the prosecution is withholding. The defense argues that Lanez, Kelsey, and Megan were at Kylie Jenner’s house, and Meg and Kelsey got mad at Tory when she saw him in the pool with Kylie. Meg however caused a scene and Kylie told her to leave.

The three got in the car and Tory questioned Kelsey why she was defending her friend even though Meg was going behind her back and sleeping with the same men she was involved with. A fight between the two former best friends would ensue, and the rest is history.

Tory Lanez Legal Team ‘Confident’ That He Will Beat Charges From Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Case

Tory Lanez Violated Megan Thee Stallion's Restraining Order By Performing At Rolling Loud, According To Prosecutors

Tory Lanez has a lot to lose if convicted on all charges stemming from his 2020 shooting case involving Megan Thee Stallion. While Lanez defends his innocence ad Megan claims that he shot her, the truth will be revealed during their trial, which has already been postponed since earlier this year. However, Lanez’s lawyer is “confident” that the jury will find his client not guilty.

George Mgdesyan, Tory’s lawyer, told the press that he expects the jury to find his client innocent.

“We are confident that at the conclusion of this trial the truth will come out and Mr. Peterson will be exonerated of all charges,” Mgdesyan said.

Tory then reiterated his lawyers comments, and tweeted “NO WEAPON AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER.”

“I’m going to leave this here one more time …and watch how it ages … NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER,” Lanez tweeted. “… AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES AGAINST ME IN JUDGEMENT SHALL BE CONDEMNED u sit and watch now …. And don’t ever question the GOD I serve again.”

Earlier this week it was reported that prosecutors hit Tory with a third charge in relation to the 2020 shooting. Tory had previously been charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm and another for carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle charge. Following a recent court appearance, Tory was also hit with a charge of discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Back in November, Tory Lanez was ordered to be placed on house arrest by a Los Angeles court before he goes to trial for allegedly shooting rapstress Megan Thee Stallion. Still, according to a recent report from Rolling Stone, Lanez had his ankle monitor removed pending the trial.

Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was reportedly released from house arrest as jury selection in the Megan trial is set to begin. Opening statements in the trial are slated to start on Dec. 12.

Judge David Herriford spoke on the prosecution’s objection to releasing Lanex, saying, “I’m doing this mainly for the trial preparation aspect.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Ex-Best Friend, Kelsey Harris, Denies Claims That Tory Lanez Bought Her Silence

megan thee stallion 1501 lawsuit

Megan Thee Stallion recently opened up about her shooting incident with Tory Lanez in a new interview with Rolling Stone. She maintained that Tory is responsible for shooting her in both of her feet, and spoke on her ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris, saying that she accepted a bribe from Lanez to maintain her silence.

“I’m like, ‘Kelsey, as my best friend, why would you meet up with the person you saw shoot your best friend?’” Megan said. :She said, ‘Megan, y’all wasn’t answering my calls. My back was against the wall. I didn’t know what to do.’ What the f*ck do you mean, ‘Your back is against the wall? You’re the only person in this situation that would clear this up for me,’” she added.

“This girl told me out her mouth, ‘He told me, ‘Oh, thank you for not saying nothing. Now let me invest in your business. Let me do this. Let me do that.’ And all I know was, from that day on, she never said nothing else about the whole situation online.”

But on Wednesday, June 15, Kelsey responded to Megan on Instagram and issued a threat to the “Thot Sh*t” rapper.

“When people can’t control you, they try to control how people view you,” Kelsey wrote. She followed her post up with a video clarifying her stance. “If y’all not catching onto the social media games by now … Then I don’t know what to tell y’all. I knew this was going to happen.”

She continued, saying “This is just the beginning y’all. I know y’all want me to talk. So, like, when it’s my turn. Just know. I’m going to break everything the fuck down and we going to see who really look bad in the end.”

Meg has since not responded to Kelsey, and the two have not talked since the shooting that occurred in July 2020. Meg and Tory’s trial is set to begin in September.

[WATCH] Lawyer Says Eyewitness Saw 2 Men, 1 Female Attacking Megan, Woman May Be Shooter

Screen Shot 2022 04 06 at 8.04.56 AM

One of the most impactful legal voices to weigh in on legal and criminal cases in Hip Hop is Moe Gangat, who has given his POV on cases such as NBA YoungBoy and Casanova 2X, but Gangat has some integral speculations about the Megan Thee Stallion/Tory Lanez case that many may find shocking.

According to Gangat’s IG post, “Two extremely interesting facts that came out about the Tory Lanez case”. “First, the police have admitted into evidence, they’ve testified, that the other woman who was involved here, they tested her hand for gunpowder shot residue, and she had gun powder residue on it, suggesting that she may have been the shooter. Number two, there was an eyewitness, somebody who was a third party who saw the whole thing and he said, ‘I saw two men and another woman beating on Meg.’ As for who pulled the trigger? He said, ‘I don’t know but I did see the muzzle flash go off and the other woman was the one closest to the muzzle flash.’”

During yesterday’s hearing, Lanez was cited for violating the no contact order with Megan Thee Stallion handed down by the judge. He was taken into custody and forced to pay a $350 bail in order to be released.

The case will resume on September 14.
