On Sunday (Jan. 8), details surfaced that Tory Lanez would be appearing in court ahead of his sentencing on Jan. 27, in his felony assault case where he was found guilty on all three counts in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

According to the Los Angeles Superior Court database, Tory Lanez is reportedly going to court on Tuesday, January 10. However, details as to why he will be present have not yet been released.

Los Angeles journalist Meghann Cuniff revealed on Twitter that Lanez has secured a new attorney David Kenner, who represented Death Row Records’ Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg

“Kenner is a longtime criminal defense attorney whose clients include former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight,” Cuniff tweeted. “Anyone with actual experience in criminal law (not all lawyers) will tell you he’s joining the case a bit late: Before trial would have been better.”

Rolling Stone reporter Nancy Dillion spoke with Lanez’ former lawyer, George Mgdesyan, on on why the two split ways. “I don’t do appeals,” said Mgdesyan. “So we had to get somebody on board to handle the appeal.”

Lanez was found guilty last month on three charges which included assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a concealed and loaded firearm in a vehicle, and discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, following the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison, as well as deportation.

Megan Thee Stallion‘s lawyer, Alex Spiro, addressed the lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion’s former cameraman Emilio Garcia, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. Spiro, in a statement to Page Six on Tuesday (April 23), dismissed the lawsuit as an opportunistic money grab and characterized it as an attempt to tarnish his client’s reputation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

The suit details an incident where Garcia allegedly found himself trapped in a moving SUV with Megan whileshe engaged in sexual activity with another woman during their time in Ibiza, Spain.

According to court documents, “The following day, STALLION inquired whether PLAINTIFF was in the SUV the previous night. PLAINTIFF confirmed that he was in the SUV. Subsequently, STALLION instructed, ‘Don’t ever discuss what you saw.’ STALLION berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards PLAINTIFF such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and that ‘You don’t need to be eating.’”

Garcia is seeking compensation of over six figures, Garcia’s lawsuit requests unpaid wages, overtime pay, and other benefits as per California labor laws, along with statutory penalties and punitive damages.
