That's about it. I don't recognize the victim either, but this guy's most significant claim to fame is crime.
Victim is famous the Canadian rapper never heard of him. Boosts his street cred though π.
I think probably everyone under like 35 knows Megan Thee Stallion, she's super famous
Tory Lanez was relatively pretty big for a while and probably pretty recognizable if you like r&b or hip-hop. He has collabs with Future, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, G-Eazy, Kodack Black, Selena Gomez, Soulja Boy, DaBaby, Jack Harlow and Trippie Redd
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A U.S. judge sentenced Canadian rapper Tory Lanez to 10 years in prison on Tuesday for shooting and wounding hip-hop superstar Megan Thee Stallion.
Megan testified that 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 in July 2020, after leaving a pool party at Kylie Jenner's home in Hollywood Hills, Calif.
Before the sentencing, Lanez's father, Sonstar Peterson, choked back tears as he talked about how the rapper's mother died when he was 11, just days after she first showed symptoms of the rare blood disorder that would lead to her death.
After the verdict was read in December, Lanez's father denounced the "wicked system" that led to his son's conviction; on Monday, Sonstar Peterson apologized to Herriford for the outburst.
A chaplain from Los Angeles County jail said Monday in court that Lanez has led daily prayer groups that have eased tensions in the protective custody unit where he has been held.
The lawyers argued Megan's testimony that Lanez urged her not to go to police because he was on parole and would be in serious trouble was both untrue and an improper allowance of prior bad acts.
I'm a bot and I'm open source!
