A golden state margaret court on wed denied rapper Tory Lanez's invoke of his shamed verdict on charges he fired a gun at Megan Thee Stallion.
A three-judge panel from the California 2nd District Court of Appeal said in a ruling they affirm in full the 32-year-old Canadian's conviction on three felony counts. They did not release an opinion with their reasoning.
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
Megan testified during the trial that in July 2020, after they left a party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home, Lanez fired the gun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in which they had been riding together with two others.
She had bullet fragments in both feet that had to be surgically removed. It wasn't until months after the shooting that she publicly identified Lanez as the person who had fired the gun.
Attorneys for Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday's ruling. They can petition to have the California Supreme Court hear the appeal. A representative for Megan also didn't immediately answer an email seeking comment.
Lanez is serving a 10-year sentence at the California Men's Colony near San Luis Obispo, Calif. He was moved there after he was stabbed by a fellow inmate at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.
Lanez began releasing mixtapes in 2009 and saw a steady rise in popularity, moving on to major label albums, two of which reached the top 10 on Billboard's charts.
