The case has coincided with a star-making moment in Megan Thee Stallion’s music career. Lanez’s arraignment is scheduled for Oct. “The victim exited the vehicle and Peterson is accused of shooting several times at her feet and wounding her,” the district attorney’s office said in its news release. Lanez and a “female friend,” identified in the complaint only as Megan P., were riding in a sport-utility vehicle in the Hollywood Hills during the early morning hours when they began arguing. “If you have supported me or meg thru this, I genuinely appreciate u.” “a charge is not a conviction,” he wrote. Lanez posted a message of thanks to fans on Twitter. Lanez did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment. Lanez, 28, was initially arrested on July 12 and charged with concealing a firearm in the vehicle, the police said at the time.īut in the days and weeks that followed, the matter became the subject of intense speculation, gossip and finger-pointing after Megan Thee Stallion, 25, born Megan Pete, said via Instagram on July 15 that she had “suffered gunshot wounds, as a result of a crime that was committed against me and done with the intention to physically harm me.” She did not name her assailant at first, and the police declined to say that shots had been fired, confirming only that one person had been taken to a hospital to receive medical treatment for a foot injury.

He would face up to 22 years and eight months in prison if convicted, the district attorney said. Lanez, a Canadian artist whose real name is Daystar Peterson, faces one count of assault with a semiautomatic handgun and one count of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Months after the chart-topping rapper Megan Thee Stallion said she had been shot in the feet by a fellow musician in the Hollywood Hills, the rapper Tory Lanez has been charged in the episode, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced on Thursday.
