Megan Thee Stallion’s Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez Extended Until 2030
The drama between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez continues to unfold, even as the Canadian rapper, born Daystar Peterson, serves his 10-year sentence at California’s Tehachapi Prison. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has extended Megan’s restraining order against Lanez until January 2030, following allegations that he has been harassing her from behind bars.
A Judge’s Decision
Judge Richard Bloom granted Megan’s request for a protective order during a hearing last Thursday. Megan alleged that Lanez had been using intermediaries to continue harassing her online, despite his incarceration. Lanez’s attorney, Michael Hayden, opposed the motion, arguing that his client’s imprisonment eliminated any current or future threat to Megan. Hayden also pointed out that there has been no direct contact between the two recently.
However, the court found Megan’s claims credible and extended the temporary restraining order issued in November 2023. This extension protects Megan from any potential harassment or threats by Lanez, who has been accused of orchestrating online campaigns to discredit her.
Lanez’s Alleged Actions Behind Bars
Megan’s petition detailed how Lanez, while in prison, allegedly coordinated attacks on her credibility. According to call logs from the California Department of Corrections, Lanez used third parties to spread false claims, including allegations that the gun and bullet fragments in the case had gone missing.
These allegations are part of an ongoing battle that began with Lanez’s conviction in December 2022 on three felony charges:
- Assault with a semiautomatic firearm
- Possession of an unregistered, loaded firearm
- Negligent discharge of a firearm
The Incident and Its Fallout
The infamous shooting incident occurred in July 2020 when Megan, Lanez, and others were leaving a party hosted by Kylie Jenner in the Hollywood Hills. Megan testified that Lanez fired at her feet, shouting for her to dance, as she exited an SUV. The case quickly became a cultural flashpoint, igniting debates about gender, violence, and justice within the music industry.
Despite the traumatic experience, Megan has continued her meteoric rise in the music world. At 29, she’s become a Grammy-winning superstar, securing awards for Best New Artist in 2021 and topping the charts with hits like “Savage” featuring Beyoncé and the iconic “WAP” collaboration with Cardi B.
Lanez’s Legal Troubles and Career Impact
For Lanez, the fallout has been significant. His legal team’s attempts to secure a retrial were denied, and they are now appealing his conviction. Once a rising star in hip-hop, Lanez saw his career ascend with mixtapes starting in 2009, leading to major-label albums and hits. His last two albums even cracked the top 10 on the Billboard charts, but his legacy has been overshadowed by this high-profile case.
With the restraining order now extended for another seven years, Megan Thee Stallion can focus on her career without the looming presence of Lanez. As for Lanez, his appeal will determine whether he has any chance of reclaiming his freedom and potentially rebuilding his career.
For fans, the saga is a stark reminder of how personal conflicts can spill over into the public eye, leaving a lasting impact on both the individuals involved and their respective legacies.
