Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez, with an expiration date of Jan. 9, 2030.

Megan claims Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) has been harassing her from behind bars as he serves a 10-year sentence stemming from a July 2020 incident where he shot at her feet. Judge Richard Bloom confirmed the order on Thursday, writing that Megan had “sustained burden of proof” to grant the motion.

Megan’s request for a restraining order described Lanez as a “violent and dangerous criminal” with an “established pattern of behavior [demonstrating] the reasons this civil harassment restraining order is necessary to protect Ms. Pete and her wellbeing.” Before this filing, Megan under an order that was only in effect from 2020 through 2023.

Megan’s request for a restraining order also accused Lanez of employing third-party “bloggers” to defame her while he is in prison.

According to court reporter Meghann Cuniff, who was present in the Los Angeles courtroom during Thursday’s hearing, Megan testified via video call and described her as being in an emotional state. Cuniff said Megan was fearful of what could happen to her after Lanez’s release. Megan is quoted saying, “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”
