Tory Lanez: New Revelations Emerge In Rapper’s Shooting Case, Bodygaurd Makes Statement

Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the 2020 shooting of fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion.

The incident occurred after a heated argument between the two following a party.

Megan Thee Stallion, who reportedly sustained injuries to her feet, had to undergo surgery to remove bullet fragments.

During the trial, Lanez’s legal team proposed a surprising twist, suggesting that Megan’s friend Kelsey Harris, present in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, may have been the one responsible for the act due to jealousy. However, Harris vehemently denied these allegations.

Recently, a pivotal development surfaced as Lanez’s bodyguard and driver on the night of the incident submitted a statement.

According to this statement, Megan’s then-best friend, Kelsey Harris, was allegedly in possession of a firearm.

This revelation contradicts Megan Thee Stallion’s testimony, where she explicitly accused Tory Lanez of being the perpetrator. It’s crucial to highlight that this statement emerged post the trial and Lanez’s subsequent sentencing.

The emergence of this contradictory statement has raised questions about the integrity of the initial trial and the accuracy of Megan Thee Stallion’s account of the events. The timing of the statement’s submission after Lanez’s conviction adds a layer of complexity to the case, leaving room for speculation about its potential impact on the rapper’s legal standing.

The case has been surrounded by intense media scrutiny, drawing parallels to high-profile legal battles in the entertainment industry. The unfolding drama between Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion has captured public attention, with fans and critics closely monitoring the developments in this ongoing saga.
