The Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion case has taken another bizarre turn. Lanez arrived shortly after 8:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday (April 5) for the latest hearing in his felony assault case involving Meg stemming from the July 2020 shooting.
According to Rolling Stone‘s Nancy Dillon, Lanez ended up leaving the Los Angeles courtroom in handcuffs and was remanded to custody until he posts a new bail of $350,000.
Multiple tweets from the Canadian singer were found in violation of the criminal protective order set with Megan Thee Stallion.
Judge David Herriford reportedly heard about an hour of arguments from Megan’s legal team and found Lanez’s social media activity to be targeting the Houston Hottie with “clear messages” subliminally sent her way.
As for the tweet in question, it looks to be the February 23 message where Lanez referred to Meg as “U” and spoke about how he was “fucking two best friends.”
“Good D*ick had me fucking 2 best friends … and I got caught … that’s what I apologized for … it’s sick how u Spun it tho,” he said at the time.
The judge added a new condition to his bail release that he must not mention Megan Thee Stallion in any form on social media as the case progresses.

According to TMZ, prosecutors requested that the bail be set to at least $5 million, but the judge ultimately settled on $350,000, which Tory Lanez is in the process of posting to regain his freedom.
Dillon added that the trial is finally set to get underway on September 14 when both parties will be back in court.
I learned two things from this. One..crazy how subminial tweets can get you arrested. Two..there must be some truth from Torey’s story for it to be used against him.
That last part is not entirely true. He violated the original contact order. The judge wasn’t looking further into it. It’s black and white you violate, you gotta pay up. He got locked up because he still has to pay new bail order due to violating the first one. There still hasn’t been any sentencing so we still don’t know which party is right or wrong.
“crazy how subminial tweets can get you arrested”. It’s nothing new.
You all know this lil ewok looking bish is gonna write another album about all this nonsense right?
5million bail thats insane.
