Rapper Tory Lanez has maintained that he was unjustly convicted for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet during a dispute.

Following his sentencing to 10 years in jail for the assault in the Hollywood Hills, Lanez, who previously denied instructing the Savage singer (Megan Pete) to "dance" before discharging a firearm at her feet, posted on Instagram asserting his innocence.

He emphasized, "I will not apologize for something I did not commit."

This statement comes after his lawyer, Jose Baez, spoke to the press outside the Los Angeles courthouse during Lanez's sentencing on Tuesday. Baez stated that his client was "deeply remorseful and filled with shame and embarrassment."

"As far as his actions are concerned, he has been nothing but apologetic."

In his own statement to the court, Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, said he accepted responsibility for what he "did wrong that night", without saying exactly what he was referring to.

But the post on the Canadian-born rapper's Instagram account said he only meant to take responsibility for "all the verbal and intimate moments I shared".

"In no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I'm being wrongly convicted of," he wrote.

Grammy winner Megan had to have surgery after the shooting, which happened when she and Lanez left a party hosted by Kylie Jenner on 12 July 2020.

The trial heard the attack happened during an argument over his rapping talent when the former couple got out of the car they were travelling in.

Since coming forward with the allegations, Megan says she's faced abuse, and told Tuesday's sentencing hearing she has "not experienced a single day of peace" since.

In a victim statement, she said: "Slowly but surely, I'm healing and coming back, but I will never be the same."

The judge who sentenced Lanez criticized him for trying to "intimidate Ms. Pete and silence her truths from being heard".

During the trial, Lanez's lawyers suggested Megan's friend Kelsey Harris, who was in the vehicle, may have shot her friend out of jealousy. She denied that.

His defense has said they plan to appeal against his sentence, claiming there were problems with the trial.

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

Only God can help us out because oppression is too much these days.

Too bad
