Tory Lanez Blasts Megan Thee Stallion’s “Frivolous” Restraining Order In New Filing

by

The legal dispute between Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion continues, despite his conviction for shooting her a couple of years ago. Nowadays, it relates around his appeal attempts and her restraining order request against him for “repeated trauma and revictimization,” as well as “severe emotional distress and reputational harm.” Previously, Lanez’s legal team dismissed this request and fought back against this notion via a statement from his lawyer, Ceasar McDowell. Now, they took this officially to the legal space, according to court documents reportedly obtained by People. They reportedly filed a motion on Tuesday (December 24) in Los Angeles court addressing this restraining order request.

Moreover, Tory Lanez’s legal team claimed that Megan Thee Stallion “has improperly decided to use the Los Angeles County civil court to file a frivolous request for civil harassment restraining order against Daystar Peterson, who has had zero direct contact with [Megan].” For those unaware, the reason why the Houston femcee filed this restraining order request is partly due to allegations that Lanez and his circle paid off blogger and YouTuber Milagro Gramz to spread misinformation about the case in the Canadian rapper and singer’s favor.

Tory Lanez’s Team Files Motion In Response To Megan Thee Stallion’s Restraining Order Request

However, there are others that think that Tory Lanez will emerge successful in his attempts to overturn or change the course of the Megan Thee Stallion case. “Expect Tory… I’ma call it… I think by summertime. Tory will be home,” Wack 100 recently told Adam22. “One grand, summer. Two grand by the next year sometime.” “[Tory] asked me when the Kendrick Lamar concert was up in Canada. And I told him June 13 or whenever the date was. And he said, ‘I should be home by then.’ But he is in great spirits.”

As for Megan Thee Stallion, she’s trying her hardest to move on from all this and keep things in court rather than let them bleed over into her personal life any more that this already has. Whether it’s by supporting her rumored boo Torrey Craig at a Chicago Bulls game recently or taking a social media break, she’s ready to let this phase of her life die out. But Meg can’t do that if Tory Lanez’s behavior allegedly warrants a restraining order, and he will not let up in his efforts to advocate for himself.

Drake takes a moment to say, “Free Tory Lanez” and “Free Lil Durk” at the beginning of his DRIZZMAS livestream. Tory Lanez and Lil Durk face serious legal situations, with Lanez battling a shooting case and Durk battling two murder-for-hire cases.

Drake’s shout-out follows Tory Lanez’s releasing a track, “Handling Business,” earlier this month that goes at Kendrick Lamar. On the track, Lanez raps, “I have been praying and waiting for the day that people confront me the way he did, Drizzy.” Drizzy’s support for Lanez caused a beef with Megan Thee Stallion that she addressed on “HISS.”

Wack 100 Claims Tory Lanez Will Be Home In A Year Or 2 After He Beats Megan Thee Stallion Case

by

Wack 100 claims that Tory Lanez will be coming home soon after being granted an appeal hearing in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. “Expect Tory… I’ma call it … I think by summertime. Tory will be home,” said Wack after explaining the latest filings on the Adam 22 & Wack 100 podcast episode. Adam responded to Wack’s claim, offering a $2000 bet that Tory Lanez wouldn’t be home by August 31, 2025. While adjusting the bet, Wack 100 changed his claim, stating Lanez will be home within two years. “One grand, summer.” he tells Adam. “Two grand by the next year sometime.”

Wack 100 shared his assurance in a previous conversation with Tory, where the incarcerated rap star claimed he would be released by the time Kendrick Lamar performs his Toronto shows with SZA in 2025. Recalling the conversation, Wack 100 says: “He [Tory] asked me when the Kendrick Lamar concert was up in Canada. And I told him June 13 or whenever the date was. And he said, ‘I should be home by then.’ But he is in great spirits.” Wack 100 goes on to explain that Lanez has two appeals filed, with one that wipes away everything away. One appeal will allow the rap star to remain in the United States and not deported back to Canada.

Wack 100 Believes Tory Lanez Will Beat Megan Thee Stallion Case

Wack 100’s claims follow Tory Lanez’s legal team response to Megan Thee Stallion’s Restaining Order filed last week. Lanez’s attorneys dismissed Megan’s allegations as false and sensationalized. They described their defense as rooted in “logic and common sense,” rejecting claims that Lanez sought to undermine Megan’s recently released documentary.

Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, is serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, in July 2020. Megan’s restraining order, filed earlier this week, accuses Lanez of harassment, even from behind bars. Lanez continues to release new music, with the latest single, “Blurred (Twitch Tapes),” dropped on December 20.

Funk Flex Proclaims Support For Tory Lanez And Says He’s Innocent In Megan Thee Stallion Case

by

Despite a conviction and multiple failed attempts to overturn it, people continue to debate Tory Lanez’s innocence or guilt in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. This is due to the Canadian artist’s persistent legal efforts to get out of prison and turn the case around, and due to multiple other developments around the propagation of this story. Lawsuits emerged claiming misinformation, Megan herself reflected on various elements surrounding it, and the hip-hop world continues to “pick sides,” even if it’s more based on what they believe rather than who they support. Funk Flex, for example, believes that Tory is innocent.

“Listen, you got to stop doing the ‘Free’ somebody, ‘Free’ people,” Funk Flex posited. “‘Cause they got to jail somehow. Come on, I wasn’t coming on Jay-Z. Leave Jay-Z alone. Tory Lanez, I do believe he’s innocent, yes. I mean, yes, I do, I do. It’s not what they’re saying it is.” While the DJ did not really elaborate on his thoughts, you probably know the arguments that Tory’s supporters latch onto. The “Twitch Tapes” artist, though, is focusing these days on dropping more music and making the most out of his time behind bars.

Funk Flex Thinks Tory Lanez Is Innocent

As for this post-conviction debacle surrounding Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez, the latest update concerns the former’s proposed restraining order against the latter. Not only that, but Meg’s lawyers also connected Lanez to blogger Milagro Gramz, whom the Houston femcee sued for misinformation, emotional distress, and other issues. This is due to some payments that Gramz allegedly received from Tory’s camp, which seems to be the most compelling piece of evidence against them. Still, with no ruling at press time, it’s unclear whether this will be enough or if it’s fully corroborated.

Meanwhile, all this legal drama cannot stop Tory Lanez fans from enjoying his music, as “The Color Violet” hit a billion streams on Spotify with zero editorial playlisting support. But despite what Funk Flex and others believe, the courts’ evidence and rulings continue to uphold the original conviction. We’ll see whether any future developments change that or if he remains guilty.

Tory Lanez Taps His “Twitch Tapes” Vault For Two Moody Cuts

by

Tory Lanez is switching things up for this week’s edition of his “Lost Tapes” series. Instead of pulling from that vault in particular, the Canadian crooner is dropping off two “Twitch Tapes.” This is subset that he introduced back on the week of August 23, so it’s been quite some time since he’s revisited these tracks. Before getting locked up for a 10-year prison stay, Tory had been previewing snippets upon snippets on livestreaming platforms such as Twitch. Moreover, he’s displayed his off-the-cuff rapping ability on streams with Adin Ross, for example.

So, it’s cool to see Lanez bring these works out for everyone to hear. However, the issue with them is that they are extremely short. “Rodeo Drive,” the first one we got, was just over two minutes long. “Back to Back” and “Blurred,” the new kids on the block, are even shorter. Neither clock in over the 1:50 mark. So, if you like longer material from Tory Lanez, you may be let down by this week’s entries. However, given the rapper’s current situation, it’s amazing that we are even getting new music to begin with. Moreover, both songs are Lanez in his moodier bag. They both focus on sex, relationships, and hedonism, which means there’s a bit more singing than spitting. Check them out at your leisure below.

Quotable Lyrics From “Blurred”:

Diamonds away playing tennis
She got a vibe gotta spend this
I don’t usually spend on no girl that I just ran through
She just might be experienced

Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Responds To Megan Thee Stallion Restraining Order

by

Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez continue to duke it out in the media. The former filed a request to get a restraining order against Lanez on December 17. She posited that the rapper has continued to use “psychological warfare” against her despite being in prison. Megan Thee Stallion also accused Lanez of paying bloggers to spread misinformation about her on a regular basis. The request came with seeming proof of blogger payments. Tory Lanez’s lawyer has responded to these allegations, however, and made it clear his client isn’t worried.

Tory Lanez’s lawyer, Ceasar McDowell, issued a lengthy statement regarding the restraining order. He called Megan The Stallion’s request “ridiculous,” and claimed the rapper had no factual basis upon which to base her accusations. “The ridiculous claim that a writ of habeas corpus was filed prior to the release of Ms. Pete’s documentary in an attempt to undermine her work is ludicrous,” McDowell wrote. Lanez’s attorney also questioned Megan Thee Stallion’s reliability after she admitted to lying during a Gayle King interview. “When someone has openly admitted to lying on major public platforms,” he posited. “At what point do we, as a society, stop believing the narrative they are pushing?.”

Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Refutes Megan Thee Stallion’s Claims

The attorney also addressed the allegations that Tory Lanez paid blogger Milagro Gramz to spread lies about Megan Thee Stallion. He admitted that there were Zelle payments made to Milagro through Tory Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson. The elder Peterson paid Milagro $3K between October 28, 2020 and March 3, 2022. McDowell stated, however, that the payments did not come from Lanez directly. As such, he notes that the intention behind said payments have not been clarified.

“The legal process will prove 100% without a shadow of a doubt that they had nothing to do with Mr. Daystar Peterson or his case at all,” he added. “We believe that the funds sent by Mr. Sonstar Peterson will be fully accounted for, and not connected to our client.” McDowell previously denied a link of any kind between Tory Lanez and Milagro Gramz. Now that one has been established, at least somewhat, through a family member, Lanez’s team will have to determine the cause. Lanez, meanwhile, maintains that he is innocent in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting he was convicted of.

Megan Thee Stallion Seeks Civil Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez, Cites Payments to Blogger

by
Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion has filed a civil restraining order against Tory Lanez, citing continued harassment despite his ten-year prison sentence. A hearing is set for January 9.

Megan’s legal team argues that without protection, she faces emotional distress and fears for her safety upon Lanez’s release. The filing also ties Lanez to Milagro Cooper, named in Megan’s federal defamation and cyberstalking lawsuit.

Zelle records obtained by Megan’s lawyers show that Lanez’s father, Sonstar Peterson, paid Cooper $3,000 in six payments between October 2020 and March 2022. The filing underscores these connections as part of an ongoing campaign targeting Megan.

The restraining order seeks to prevent further harm as Megan continues navigating the high-profile case’s aftermath.

Megan Thee Stallion Files For Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez

Megan Thee Stallion has filed a restraining order against Tory Lanez, citing ongoing harassment from both the rapper and his supporters. Although Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting Megan in the foot in 2020, the fallout from the incident continues to impact the Houston rapper’s life and career.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Megan claims that Lanez has been orchestrating harassment campaigns against her from behind bars. Specifically, she pointed to a woman named Elizabeth Milagro Cooper, also known as Milagro Gramz, as a key figure in the harassment. Megan alleges that Cooper has a “conspiratorial relationship” with Lanez, supported by payments funneled through Lanez’s father to ensure the ongoing attacks. These claims follow a history of Cooper sharing false and damaging content about Megan online.

In the court filings, Megan described the harassment as “psychological warfare,” stating that it has caused her significant emotional distress, including depression and estrangement from loved ones. This isn’t the first time Megan has spoken about the toll the situation has taken on her mental health. In an interview with Women’s Health, she revealed that during some of the most tumultuous times in her career, she struggled to keep her emotions in check. “Before I went onstage, I would be crying half the time,” Megan shared. “Because I didn’t want to [perform], but I also didn’t want to upset my fans.”

Megan has also taken legal action against Cooper in the past. A lawsuit filed earlier this year accused Cooper of spreading lies and defamatory content, including a fake video falsely claiming to show Megan in sexual acts. The rapper stated that the video caused “severe emotional distress” and irreparable damage to her reputation.

This latest legal move underscores Megan’s ongoing battle to protect her peace and career amidst continued fallout from the high-profile case involving Lanez.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Lawyers Find Proof Tory Lanez Paid Off Blogger

Megan Thee Stallion is taking legal action. The rapper may have won her court battle against Tory Lanez, but she’s not stopping. She has filed a request for a restraining order against Lanez, despite the fact that he’s behind bars. She’s also filed a lawsuit against Milagro Gramz, a blogger who has campaigned for the Canadian rapper’s innocence. Megan Thee Stallion’s request details ways in which Lanez has engaged in “psychological warefare” against her. The most compelling piece of evidence, however, links Lanez and the aforementioned blogger.

Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyers were able to find Zelle records between Lanez’s dad and Milagro Gramz. Between October 28, 2020 and March 3, 2022, Sonstar Carlisle John Peterson seemingly paid Gramz a whopping $3K. This was spread out over various payments. Some as small as $200 or high as $1K. This revelation arrives at an awkward time for Tory Lanez’s defense. The rapper’s lawyer, Ceasar McDowell, issued a statement denying any connection between his client and Milagro Gramz.

Megan Thee Stallion Previously Sued The Blogger

The most recent wave of accusations,” McDowell told TMZ “Involves claims that during a phone call, Mr. Peterson’s father allegedly stated, ‘Ms. Pete would be unable to prove that Mr. Peterson paid Ms. Cooper to attack Ms. Pete.’” The lawyer noted that Lanez’s father added “Because you didn’t,’” which seemingly proved there was no foul play. The new Zelle records, however, suggest that Megan Thee Stallion’s team was on the right track. The rapper has already filed a lawsuit against Milagro Gramz on grounds of severe emotional distress.

Megan Thee Stallion claimed the blogger had knowingly spread lies about her and her shooting online as a means of brandishing Lanez’s side of the story. She also accused Milagro Gramz of serving as Lanez’s “puppet” while the rapper is behind bars. The Zelle records appear to support the allegations made via the Milagro lawsuit. Meghan Cuniff, an independent reporter, theorized that the Zelle records will help to bolster the lawsuit. “The payments aren’t recent and I don’t think they’re much evidence for any kind of new restraining order,” the reported posited. “But Megan’s lawyers may cite them in their intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit against Milagro.”

Megan Thee Stallion Files Restraining Order Request Against Tory Lanez

by

Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez are always going to be linked. Much to their chagrin. Lanez was convicted of shooting Megan in the foot, and is currently serving ten years in prison. Megan has been able to have a successful career, despite harassment online. It seems as though the two artists are still beefing, however, and it has led to a request for a restraining order. Megan Thee Stallion has decided to file a request against Tory Lanez.

TMZ broke the news on Tuesday. Megan Thee Stallion cited months of harassment from both Lanez and his supporters as the primary reason. One of the supporters mentioned in Megan’s court documents was a woman named Elizabeth Milagro Cooper. The “WAP” rapper claims that prison logs show there to be a “conspiratorial relationship” between Tory Lanez and Cooper. She went as far as to posit that there have been payments made to Cooper. These payments, allegedly made through Tory Lanez’s dad, ensure that Cooper continues harassing her online.

Megan Thee Stallion Claims Lanez Is Still Defaming Her

Megan Thee Stallion described this tactic as “psychological warfare.” She claims said harassment has caused her to fall into depression, and grow estranged from friends and family. This is not the first time Megan has detailed her struggles with depression. The rapper told Women’s Health that she struggled with her emotions while in the midst of her flourishing career. “Before I went onstage, I would be crying half the time,” she admitted. “Because I didn’t want to [perform], but I also didn’t want to upset my fans.” It’s also worth noting that Megan Thee Stallion sued Elizabeth Milagro Cooper just a few months ago.

Megan sued Cooper on the grounds that she regularly posts lies about her. She accused the content creator of being a mouthpiece for Tory Lanez as far back as October. The most egregious material that Cooper posted about Megan Thee Stallion was a fake video of the rapper engaging in sexual acts. The rapper claimed the video caused her “severe emotional distress.” She also accused Cooper of causing damage to her reputation as an artist.
