Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a restraining order against rapper Tory Lanez who has been jailed until the early 2030s.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Bloom on Thursday granted Megan's request for a protective order after the hip-hop star claimed Lanez harassed her from prison through deputies while serving a 10-year sentence for to burn in the legs.
The order was passed after a hearing. Michael Hayden, Lanez's attorney, wrote in an objection to the restraining order request that his client's incarceration means there is “no present or future threat” to Megan and there was no contact just between the two recently.
A summary of Thursday's hearing said Bloom found Megan's lawyers had met the burden of proof to extend the temporary restraining order until January 9, 2030.
Hayden did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.
A US judge sentenced Canadian rapper Tory Lanez to 10 years in prison on Tuesday for the shooting and wounding of hip-hop superstar Megan Thee Stallion.
Megan was granted the temporary order in November after claiming that Lanez, a Canadian rapper whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, is using third parties to continue harassing her online.
The petition states that call records at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi show Lanez coordinating attacks on Megan's credibility, including making false claims that the gun and the pieces of bullets in the case are missing.
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm; loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
A judge denied a motion for a new trial by Lanez's lawyers, who are appealing his conviction.
Megan testified during the trial that Lanez fired the gun into the back of her legs and yelled at her to dance as she was leaving an SUV they were both in after leaving a party at Kylie Jenner's home in Hollywood Hills.
Megan, 29, was already a major rising star at the time of the shooting, and the popularity of her music has soared ever since. She won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 2021, and had No. 1 singles with Worldby Beyoncé, and as a guest on Cardi B's WAP.
Lanez, 32, began releasing mixtapes in 2009 and saw a steady rise in popularity, moving on to major label records. His last two reached the Top 10 on the Billboard charts.
