The court issued a protective order against Tory Lanez in October of 2020. He was also ordered to pay $190,000 bail and surrender any guns he owns. Previously, the Canadian rapper violated the protective order in 2021, when he appeared as DaBaby’s surprise guest at Rolling Loud 2021. Megan Thee Stallion was also performing at the festival.
A trial start date is currently scheduled for Sept. 14.
