Megan Thee Stallion has been granted a five-year restraining order against incarcerated rapper Tory Lanez.
The order has an expiration date of 9 January 2030.
Megan claims Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, has been harassing her from behind bars as he serves a 10-year sentence for an incident where he shot at her feet.
A judge approved the order on Thursday, noting that Stallion had "sustained burden of proof" to grant the motion.
Stallion's request for a restraining order described Lanez as a "violent and dangerous criminal" with an "established pattern of behaviour demonstrating the reasons this civil harassment restraining order is necessary".
Before this filing, Stallion had an order that was in effect from 2020 through 2023.
Her request also accused Lanez of employing third-party bloggers to defame her while he is in prison.
Stallion testified via an emotional video call, saying, "I feel like maybe he'll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won't make it."
Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in December 2022. In her documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: Her Words, which released in late October, the singer shared, "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.
"No. I still, every day, have to deal with people mad at me because I said what happened to me."
