Back in July 2020, a drunken roadside argument involving Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez, and her former friend Kelsey Harris ended in Lanez shooting the Savage singer in both her feet. The Canadian rapper was charged with assault with a semi-automatic handgun, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
The trial began in December 2022. Following weeks of unexpected twists and turns, The Take singer was found guilty on all three counts and sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023.
