LOS ANGELES:
US rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty Friday of shooting Megan Thee Stallion after an argument in the Hollywood Hills in 2020.

A trial in Los Angeles heard how he had ordered her to “Dance, bitch” as he shot at her feet when she got out of a car they were both riding in.

Lanez, 30, who pleaded not guilty, was convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

Lanez — whose real name is Daystar Peterson — is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan 27.

He was remanded in custody immediately after Friday’s hearing.
