Megan Thee Stallion is seeking a restraining order against Tory Lanez, two years after he was found guilty of shooting the rapper in 2020. 

Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, filed a request for a temporary restraining order against Lanez (real name: Daystar Peterson) in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. 

Lanez was convicted in December 2022 of shooting the Grammy-winning rapper during an alleged argument in the Hollywood Hills in July 2020. The Canadian singer-songwriter, who pled not guilty on all counts ahead of his trial, was charged with discharging a firearm with gross negligence; assault with a semiautomatic firearm; and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. 

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023. 

Despite Stallion’s legal victory against Lanez, she alleges the singer has orchestrated a “campaign of harassment” against her, including employing a network of bloggers to slander her online. 

“Most concerning is that if Ms. Pete is not issued at least (a) civil harassment restraining order, she will be left without any protection for when Mr. Peterson is released from prison,” the filing reads. “This possibility alone causes Ms. Pete severe emotional distress and makes her fearful for her life.” 

Representatives for Lanez were not available for comment at the time of publication. 

In her restraining order request, Stallion demands Lanez stay at least 100 yards away from her, as well as the rapper’s home, vehicle and place of work. She’s also asking the court to order Lanez not to contact her, directly or indirectly, and to stop his alleged online harassment.
