Lanes was found guilty last year of shooting Stallion in July 2020.

Stallion testified during the trial that Lanez fired the gun at the back of her feet and shouted for her to dance as she walked away from an SUV after leaving a party at reality TV star Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills home.

Lanez was found guilty of first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence and having a concealed firearm.

He is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence in California and has plans to release a new album while incarcerated.
