Tory Lanez's father reacts to the verdict

The rapper's guilty verdict led to aggressive behavior from his father, Sonstar Peterson, who began protesting outside the court.

Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff posted a tweet where she wrote that Lanez's stepmother was also present at the time. The duo shouted that the entire system had been unjust to Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, and accused the prosecutors of wrongdoing. Cuniff's tweet stated,

"A jury has convicted Tory Lanez of all three charges for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. A c*azy and downright scary scene in the courtroom as his father and stepmother screamed about wicks injustice."

The deputies who took away Lanez also tried to control his parents. Cuniff continued by saying,

"One woman in the gallery held up her hand as Tory's father was screaming about Roc Nation and wicked injustice, repeating 'in the name of Jesus!' Deputies were forcing them all out into the hallway and telling the gallery we had to stay seated."

Peterson mentioned that nothing is over and shouted that Roc Nation will fall apart one day.

When Lanez was arrested two years ago, he was charged with weapon possession. Stallion, who was also present at the time, was injured because of a foot injury but chose to remain silent.

Stallion later revealed on Instagram that she was shot by Lanez. More charges were imposed against Lanez and this led to a downfall in the rapper's career. He was arrested earlier this year for violating a protection order but was later released.
