Tory Lanez Attacks Reporter’s Coverage Of His Megan Thee Stallion Shooting Trial
Tory Lanez is once again lashing out against someone regarding his trial after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
In an Instagram Story post made on Thursday (July 13), the Toronto rapper’s team slammed Law & Crime Network reporter Meghann Cuniff, who has been covering, in detail, the full trial since opening arguments.
Lanez claims that Cuniff isn’t a reliable reporter and that all updates regarding his trial should be witnessed through his social media.

“With all due respect, please disregard anything Megan Cuniff [sic] reports on Tory Lanez,” the rapper wrote, via his team. “Her objective, perspective/narrative has always been negative and extremely biased towards him. If there is an update on Tory, it will come from this first. If it doesn’t come from this page, it’s not real. With love – The Umbrella.”
Cuniff recently reported that a judge denied Ronda Renee Dixon as a replacement to his current council.
In a previous conversation with Cuniiff, Dixon said the Toronto rapper wants her to work under his current lawyer, prominent attorney Jose Baez. But Dixon noted that the two have “some serious issues.”
In a shared copy of a motion she drafted, Dixon also argued that Lanez is being subject to cruel and unusual punishment in jail due to his celebrity status.
“Because Mr. Peterson has viable, meritorious post-conviction litigation, this court should award bail,” she wrote in the filing. “The unconstitutional nature of his confinement provides ample justification. Peterson’s conviction is not punishable by death. Because he will apply for probation, file an appeal, and pursue additional post-conviction remedies, this court should admit him bail within the court’s discretion.”
“Merely because he is well known, the Sheriff has decided that Mr. Peterson is of such great threat that he must be confined in the same manner as those convicted of serial rape charges and murder,” she continued.
The reason the motion was denied is currently unclear. Tory Lanez is scheduled to be officially sentenced on August 7. The sentencing date was pushed back in June after a judge granted a continuance for his attorneys.
