usmagazine.com:

Tory Lanez spoke out after he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion — and he vowed to appeal his conviction.“I have never let a hard time intimidate me,” the rapper, 31, began in an Instagram post on Thursday, August 10. “Regardless of how they try to spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will.

This week in court I took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involved. That’s it.”Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, said his statements in court did not mean he was “apologizing” for the charges which he said he was “wrongfully convicted” of last year.

Earlier this week, he told the judge he takes “full responsibility” for what happened, adding, “If I could change it, I would, but I can’t. … I truly am just trying to be a better person.”On Thursday, however, he told fans to ignore those words, writing: “I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do. … This is nothing but another moment where my back is against the wall and I refuse to stop fighting till I come out victorious.

Tough times don’t last, tough people do.”In order to view the video, please allow Manage CookiesLanez received a 10-year prison sentence on Tuesday, August 8, following his December 2022 conviction for shooting Megan, 28, in both of her feet during a July 2020 altercation.
