It seems to the public that I'm this monster. I was catapulted into this poster child for the un-protection of black women. And it's just so unlike me. I've never really had a chance to express that. You can look at my criminal record, I don't have one. I've never had one. That connotation that I would do anything of this monstrous proportion is completely incorrect and it's wrong."More about Tory Lanez's new allegations about the 2022 trialMegan Thee Stallion earlier testified that Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, shot her in the foot in a July 2020 altercation.
