Despite Lanez’s legal challenges, he released new music with the Alone At Prom deluxe edition on November 17 from behind bars. Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion during an argument in July 2020. Lanez has consistently denied his involvement and accused the media of orchestrating a smear campaign against him.
Lanez’s recent appeal to overturn the sentence was rejected, with the California Court of Appeal stating that he failed to demonstrate any unjust treatment by the court system. The court order emphasized, “appellant has not shown that the superior court unjustifiably denied relief.” Lanez, who remains in a state prison in California, continues to maintain his innocence amid ongoing legal proceedings.
