Tory Lanez has fired back at Megan Thee Stallion as he accused her of 'weaponizing the justice system' in a new complaint. The Canadian music artist, 32, filed the court documents - obtained by People on Friday - a little over one week after the Wanna Be rapper, 29, requested a temporary restraining order against him on December 17.

Last year in August, Lanez was notably sentenced to 10 years in prison after he was found guilty of shooting Megan in the feet during a drunken argument in 2020. The star - whose full name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete - alleged that Tory has been 'coordinating' with bloggers to spread false lies about her online. But he has since slammed the harassment claims as 'ridiculous.'.

And in a complaint filed on Christmas Eve, he alleged she 'improperly decided to use the Los Angeles County civil court to file a frivolous request for civil harassment restraining order against Daystar Peterson, who has had zero direct contact with Ms. Pete.'.

'Failing to understand that they are public figures, who voluntarily catapulted themselves into the limelight, unable to deal with the controversy and public opinions,' Lanez further claimed in the documents. The Hurts Me rapper then cited the California Code of Civil Procedure S. 527, which 'prohibits courts from issuing restraining orders that restrict constitutionally protected speech. The statute ensures restraining order.'.
