etonline.com:

Tory Lanez has come to an end. On Dec. 23, more than two years after Megan Thee Stallion accused the 30-year-old rapper of shooting her in the feet, a jury found him guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm; discharging a firearm with gross negligence, and carrying a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle; along with allegations that he personally used a firearm and inflicted great bodily injury.Megan, 27, has been at the center of a maelstrom since coming forward with her allegations against Lanez in August 2020.

Lanez was officially charged in October 2020 with a felony count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, negligent discharge of a firearm and having a concealed and unregistered firearm in a vehicle.Lanez -- whose real name is Daystar Peterson -- pleaded not guilty to the charges, previously saying that «the truth will come out.» He was barred from speaking publicly about the case and was put under house arrest after another violation of Lanez's bail in which he allegedly attacked singer August Alsina.

The Canadian faces a maximum of 22 years and eight months in prison if convicted.Since Megan came forward, the case has played out on social media and even in music released by rappers not involved in the conflict.
