The 31-year-old rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was sentenced at a court in Los Angeles on Tuesday after proceedings ran overtime on Monday.

He was convicted of three felonies: assault with a semi-automatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in December.

Lanez did not appear to react as the sentence was read out.

The jury had heard testimony that Lanez fired a gun at the WAP singer's feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV in the summer of 2020. The two were leaving a party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home.

Megan Thee Stallion still "healing" from trauma

During Tory Lanez's trial, Megan Thee Stallion gave powerful testimony, she did not appear in court for Lanez's sentencing. Instead, she sent a statement saying she had "not experienced a single day of peace" since the 2020 incident.

"Slowly but surely, I'm healing and coming back, but I will never be the same," she said, in a statement read by Los Angeles County deputy district attorney Kathy Ta.

Megan asked for her absence not to be mistaken for a sign of indifference. She explained that she "simply could not bring [herself] to be in a room with Tory again."
