Lanez's incarceration stems from a 2020 incident in which the rapper shot at Megan's feet. Judge Richard Bloom, who granted her request, said Megan had "sustained burden of proof" for her restraining order, Variety reported.
In her request, Megan painted Lanez as a "violent and dangerous criminal," who had "established pattern of behavior [demonstrating] the reasons this civil harassment restraining order is necessary to protect Ms. Pete and her wellbeing."
“I really thought that once he got sentenced and once he went off to jail, I was going be a new woman and I thought I was going to be great and I could just go be the Megan Thee Stallion I always wanted to be,” Megan said in her Prime documentary Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words. “No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me.”
In December 2022, the rapper was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting on three felony counts.
