Tory Lanez – real name Daystar Peterson – has issued a statement following his prison sentencing for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Speaking to the judge, Lanez said that he took βaccountabilityβ for his actions, which made some fans believe he was admitting to shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
In the Canadian rapperβs new statement, he denies shooting Meg.
Peterson wrote in his statement, βI have never let a hard time intimidate me. I will never let no jail time eliminate me. Regardless of how they try to spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will.β
βThis week in court I took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involvedβ¦ Thatβs it.β
He continued, βIn no way, shape, or form was I apologizing for the charges Iβm being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do.β
βIβve faced adversity my whole life and every time it looked like I would lose, I came out on top. This is nothing but another moment where my back is against the wall and I refuse to stop fighting till I come out victorious. Tough times donβt last, tough people do.β
He ended his statement by thanking his family, friends and fans for their support, adding βsee you soonβ.
On August 20, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that Tory Lanez was the gunman who shot her in the foot following a July 12 2020, pool party at Kylie Jennerβs house. The trial began on December 5, 2022, after the original September 14 start date was delayed due to Lanezβs lawyer being preoccupied with a separate trial.
Lanez will have nearly a year reduced from his 10-year sentence due to the time he has already served and is also facing deportation.
