Tory Lanez has been arrested after a judge ruled that he had violated Megan Thee Stallion’s discovery protective order and personal contact order set against him.
It was ruled that the rapper violated the orders when performing at the Rolling Loud festival on the same night as Megan in August of 2021. The judge also ruled that Lanez was posting subliminal messages to Megan on social media.
“Judge David Herriford heard nearly an hour of argument about Lanez’s tweets and said some ‘seem to be clear messages’ to Megan,” a reporter tweeted. “He added new condition to Lanez’s release that he’s ‘not to mention the complaining witness in this case in any social media.’”
Lanez had a bail bondsman with him as his bail was set at $350,000, which allowed him to post bail shortly after being taken into custody.
In addition, the rapper has also been charged with one count of carrying a concealed, loaded, and unregistered firearm in a vehicle and one count of assault with a semiautomatic handgun. If convicted, Lanez can serve up to 22 years and eight months in prison.
