Tory Lanez appeared Monday in a Los Angeles courtroom. Jury selection started for his trial in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. She’s set to testify against Lanez.

I want him to go under the jail.” If convicted, Tory Lanez could be sentenced to more than 22-years for felony assault with a semi-automatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Testimony is expected to start next week. Kylie Jenner is on the list of defense witnesses. She hosted the pool party at her place on the night of the shooting. Megan recalled in an interview, (quote) “Tory Lanez said, ‘Dance, bitch’ and he started shooting a couple of times. I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me. I was really scared. I had never been shot at before.”
