In 2023, Lanez was convicted on three felony charges related to the shooting incident, where he shot Megan Thee Stallion following an argument inside a vehicle after a party at Kylie Jenner's home. Megan testified she was shot while demanding to exit the vehicle. Despite the shooting's severity, which required her to undergo surgery, Lanez has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings and refused to apologize for his actions. The controversy surrounding the case has polarized the hip-hop community, with some artists advocating for lighter sentencing on his behalf. Known for his seven top 10 albums over the past several years, Lanez has hinted at releasing a new album from prison, titled "Peterson."

As the investigation continues, fans and peers alike await further updates on his condition and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
