LOS ANGELES — Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a restraining order from incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez until early 2030.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard Bloom said Thursday that hip-hop star Megan, who is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting her in the leg, claimed Lanez was harassing her from prison through an agent. The request for a protection order was granted.
This order was granted after a hearing. Lane’s attorney, Michael Hayden, said in his challenge to the restraining order request that his client’s incarceration meant there was “no present or future threat of any kind” to Megan and that there had been no recent relationship between the two. He said there was no direct contact with him.
According to a summary of Thursday’s hearing, Bloom found that Megan’s attorneys met their burden of proof to extend the temporary restraining order until January 9, 2030.
Hayden did not immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.
Megan obtained the interim order in November, alleging that Lanez, a Canadian rapper whose real name is Daystar Peterson, continues to use third parties to harass her online.
