BBC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapper Tory Lanez’s sentencing for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet has been delayed until August. A jury in the US found him guilty of firing at the Savage singer in the Hollywood Hills during an argument. Almost three years have passed since the 2020 shooting, and a lot has happened inside – and outside – court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a case that’s divided fans and spilled out into the wider hip-hop world, with Drake being accused of taking sides at one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the trial heard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the trial finally got going in Los Angeles late last year, after months of delays, Megan got to take the stand and give her version of events under oath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I can’t believe I have to come here and do this,” was how Megan started her testimony in the LA courtroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told the jury it all began at the party hosted by Kylie Jenner in the Hollywood Hills on 12 July 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan, real name Megan Pete, and Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, got into an argument as they drove away from the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She told the trial the row started when she mocked Lanez’ musical talents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Megan, she demanded to be let out of the car and heard Tory shouting at her to dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then opened fire with a handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jury heard how she left a trail of blood at the scene and minutes after the shooting a friend messaged her security saying: “Help… Tory shot Meg.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan told the courtroom Lanez had offered her $1m to keep quiet about what happened, and called her afterwards to apologise, claiming he was “just too drunk”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through tears, she said she had regrets about coming forward, saying speaking out had been “torture”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanez hasn’t been sentenced yet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanez was convicted in December of three charges: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prosecutors are seeking a 13-year prison sentence and the 30-year-old faces deportation to his native Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he still hasn’t been sentenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 13 June, a judge accepted his lawyer’s request to delay the sentencing until 7 August to give them more time to prepare their recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the brief court hearing, Lanez – wearing an orange jail outfit and black cap – mostly kept his head down and barely made eye contact with anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the case was so divisive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the court, Lanez’ supporters stood opposite crowds of fans carrying “We stand with Megan” signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as Megan arrived at the building, his side heckled her by shouting: “Why are you lying on that boy?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accusations of lying have dogged the Grammy-winning rapper throughout the case, because her story changed early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She initially told police she’d been hurt by stepping on broken glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t until later, on Instagram, when she first said that Tory had shot her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She then told an interviewer she’d needed surgery to remove bullets from her feet which had missed her bones and tendons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan, 27, said she lied to officers at the time because she didn’t want to “get in more trouble”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sparked a long war of words between her and Lanez – they both released tracks about the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his song Money Over Fallout, Lanez accused Megan of trying to frame him, while Megan said she was the one “speakin’ facts” in her track Shots Fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking sides<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dispute spilled out into the wider hip-hop world, with artists like 50 Cent and even Drake getting involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan frequently defended herself on Twitter and said she’d been painted as aggressive and a “snitch”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She suggested misogynoir – misogyny against black women – could be why she was targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megan criticised Drake when he released Circo Loco, a collab with 21 Savage that appeared to reference the shooting case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But she did receive support from fellow artists, like JoJo and Kehlani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a group of prominent black women, including #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, released an open letter backing Megan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Da Club rapper Fiddy eventually apologised for sharing memes casting doubt on Megan’s version of events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said he’d changed his mind after hearing evidence from the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘A victory for every woman’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanez has always denied the charges against him, he’s filed various appeals and his lawyers could launch other motions after his sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the guilty verdict, Megan has tried to reclaim the narrative around the shooting, and spoken about the effect “false narratives” and “conspiracy theories” had on her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an Elle Magazine feature, she said the guilty verdict “was a victory for every woman who has ever been shamed, dismissed, and blamed for a violent crime committed against them”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We can’t control what others think, especially when the lies are juicier than the truth,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But as a society, we must create safer environments for women to come forward about violent behaviour without fear of retaliation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
