CNN —Tory Lanez, the man convicted of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in 2020, was sentenced on Tuesday to 10 years in prison, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office told CNN.
Stallion accused Lanez of shooting her in the foot after she exited a vehicle they had been riding in following an argument.
At a press conference following the sentencing on Tuesday, LA County District Attorney George Gascón explained how Lanez attempted to “silence” Stallion after she accused him of shooting her in 2020.
But if it can happen to me, imagine those who lack the resources and support systems to help them,” Stallion said, according to the district attorney.
Megan Thee Stallion performs onstage at 2023 LA Pride in the Park festival at Los Angeles Historical Park on June 09, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
