Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, has been denied bail as he appeals his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. The 31-year-old rapper was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty of multiple charges related to the incident. His lawyers had requested that he be released on bond while he fights the verdict, but the judge denied the request.
The judge cited Lanez’s violent offense, history of violating court orders, and Canadian citizenship as reasons for denying bail. Despite Lanez’s lawyers arguing that he is in America on an active work visa and has no intention of returning to Canada, the judge stood by the decision. Lanez will remain behind bars for the time being.
Following his conviction, Lanez shared a statement on Instagram expressing his intent to fight the verdict and regain his freedom. He also made it clear that he would not apologize to Megan for the incident, maintaining his innocence.
In his statement, Lanez emphasized his resilience in the face of adversity and declared his determination to come out victorious. He thanked his family, friends, and fans for their support and promised to keep fighting.
