Tory Lanez just lost his appeal to overturn the conviction that landed him ten years behind bars for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. The California court reviewed his claims and basically said, “Nice try.”
This case has been loud from the start. Lanez, once seen as one of the most promising voices in hip-hop, is now more of a cautionary tale. The court wasn’t moved by his arguments that the trial was unfair or that the jury was biased. The evidence stood tall from Megan’s testimony, to Kelsey Harris’s statements, and that infamous social media post linked to him.
It’s wild to think how fast the tide turned. One moment he’s charting hits and remixing 2000s nostalgia, the next he’s watching the world move on without him. Ten years is a long time to reflect, and it seems like that’s exactly what he’ll be doing.
For Megan, this verdict reaffirms everything she’s said all along. She was shot. She told her story. And the system, (thank God), backed her up.
So no appeal, no miracle twist, no early homecoming. Just Tory Lanez, ten years, and a very public reminder that actions have consequences, especially in the spotlight.
