Tory Lanez’s bail motion has been denied
The rapper will serve his 10-year sentence as he appeals his felony conviction in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
A judge has denied Tory Lanez's motion for bail, according to courtroom reporter Meghann Cuniff. Tory Lanez is currently appealing his felony conviction in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion; he was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August. The ruling means that the rapper will remain in prison during his appeal.
An attorney for Lanez filed the bail motion in August asking for Lanez to be released inside Los Angeles to continue working in order to provide for his wife and son. The motion said that Lanez "does not pose a danger to the community" and claimed that the shooting was "an isolated incident."
The prospect of Lanez's release on bail was a long shot according to Michael Freedman, an entertainment attorney who spoke with Meghann Cuniff on Wednesday.
