Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team is coming out swinging. The Grammy-winning rapper’s attorneys have issued a strong rebuttal after Tory Lanez’s legal camp launched a public campaign suggesting newly uncovered evidence could clear the Canadian rapper in the high-profile 2020 shooting incident that left Megan wounded.
But according to Megan’s attorney, Alex Spiro, these “bombshell revelations” are nothing more than old tricks in new packaging—and the truth hasn’t changed.
“They continue to rehash old evidence from trial and re-package it as new information to desperately sway public opinion,” Spiro told reporters this week.
Tory Lanez’s Team Launches Website Claiming New Evidence
Earlier this month, Lanez’s defense team unveiled a website, 36hourslater.com, featuring videos, documents, and alleged witness statements they argue raise serious doubts about Lanez’s conviction.
Among the items posted:
- Bodycam footage from the night of the incident
- Statements suggesting Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris may have been the shooter
- A claim from a bodyguard that Harris privately confessed to firing the weapon
Lanez’s supporters were quick to amplify the site across social media, with some influencers and fan pages reposting the materials in an attempt to reignite public doubt over the trial’s outcome.
Megan’s Team Releases 31-Page Counterattack
In response, Megan’s legal team released a comprehensive 31-page presentation dismantling Lanez’s “new evidence” line by line.
Key highlights from Megan’s legal rebuttal include:
- Text messages from Lanez apologizing to Megan hours after the shooting
- Ring camera audio capturing the sound of five distinct gunshots
- DNA evidence showing a 90% probability that male DNA on the firearm belonged to Lanez
- Proof that all so-called “new” evidence was already heard in court during the trial
“Tory Lanez’s team can’t keep a story straight. Last week, they said Kelsey shot Megan. Now they’re saying she just stepped on glass,” Spiro emphasized.
“This is not about justice—this is about PR.”
A Timeline of the Shooting Scandal
Let’s rewind. In July 2020, Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, was shot in the foot following a Hollywood Hills party at Kylie Jenner’s house. She later named Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, as the shooter.
In December 2022, Lanez was convicted on three felony counts:
- Assault with a semi-automatic firearm
- Possession of a loaded, unregistered firearm
- Discharging a firearm with gross negligence
In August 2023, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison—a verdict Megan described as a moment of long-overdue justice.
Why Is Tory Lanez Bringing This Up Now?
The launch of the “36hourslater.com” website comes as Lanez and his team attempt to keep his name in the spotlight. Some believe it’s a coordinated PR strategy to lay the groundwork for a future appeal or clemency campaign.
Legal experts have pointed out that none of the claims presented so far meet the threshold for overturning a conviction, especially given the strong physical evidence and jury verdict.
Still, the strategy appears to be gaining traction with some fans online who continue to rally behind Lanez and question the court’s ruling—even after his conviction.
Public Reactions Are Divided
Social media lit up with mixed reactions following the website’s launch.
- #FreeToryLanez began trending once again
- Megan’s supporters flooded Twitter with #ProtectBlackWomen
- Legal analysts weighed in, calling the website a “Hail Mary” attempt to rewrite the narrative
“People forget this case went through the justice system. Evidence was reviewed. A jury made a decision. This isn’t a reality show—it’s real life,” said one prominent legal commentator on X (formerly Twitter).
Megan’s Silence Is Strategic
While Megan herself has not spoken publicly about the new wave of headlines, sources close to the rapper say she is laser-focused on her career and healing journey. After a tough few years, she’s back in the studio, on red carpets, and continuing to build her empire.
“She’s done engaging with the drama,” a source close to the rapper told People. “She knows the truth, and so does the court.”
What’s Next for Tory Lanez?
Lanez’s team is expected to pursue appeals, but legal insiders believe the path to overturning his conviction will be an uphill battle. Without new, admissible evidence that significantly alters the facts of the case, courts are unlikely to entertain his attempts to walk free.
That said, the buzz created by the website could serve Lanez in other ways—keeping his name relevant and maintaining loyalty from parts of his fanbase.
