US rapper found guilty for 2020 shooting of colleague Megan Thee Stallion

A US jury has found rapper Tory Lanez guilty of shooting Grammy-winning American rapper Megan Thee Stallion in 2020 in Los Angeles.

According to CNBC, he had been accused of having shot Megan in her foot outside of another celebrity, Kylie Jenner's home. He pleaded not guilty to shooting her and dedicated an entire album to rebutting Megan Thee Stallion’s version of events.

He was initially charged with assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle but the prosecution added a third charge, discharging a firearm with gross negligence, earlier this month.

Lanez faces a maximum sentence of 22 years and eight months in prison. He may also face deportation to his home country of Canada after serving his sentence. His sentencing hearing is set for January 27.
