The arraignment for Tory Lanez, the trouble singer accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, was postponed until November.
Lanez, 28, was hit with 1 count of assault with a firearm and 1 count of possession of a loaded, unregistered gun. The hearing was postponed on Tuesday, Oct. 13, according to court records.
The musician, born Daystar Peterson, attended the hearing via phone in an L.A. County courtroom, and since the hearing was postponed, he didn’t enter a plea.
According to TMZ, Peterson was ordered to stay 100 yards away from the rapper, and not contact her. He was also ordered to surrender any guns he owns.
His bail was set at $190K, which he’ll be posting via a bondsman present at the hearing, TMZ reported.
Megan, 26, was allegedly shot in the foot during an altercation in an SUV after the pair attended a pool party in the Hollywood Hills, amid the pandemic in July.
The hearing was held on the same day Megan wrote an op-ed in The New York Times in which she spoke up for Black female victims of domestic violence.
Megan said she’s not afraid of being criticized. She denied being in a relationship with Peterson.
“I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man,” she wrote. “After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.”
She also addressed the criticism she received for not speaking out earlier.
“My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim. I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.”
