Tory Lanez\u2019s mugshot has been released following his sentencing after being found guilty of shooting musician Megan Thee Stallion.<\/p>\n
The rapper had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the shooting, which Lanez had appealed.<\/p>\n
He had requested to be allowed out on bail while his appeal was being processed, however this was denied by a LA Superior Court Judge earlier in September.<\/p>\n
Now, having been returned to North Kern State Prison in California, his mugshot has been revealed.<\/p>\n
First obtained by TMZ, the mugshot sees the 31-year-old Canadian musician stare grimly at the camera as he prepares to start the next decade incarcerated.<\/p>\n
Judge David Herriford had denied his motion for bail for several reasons, including, he told the court, the fact Lanez is not a US citizen and therefore a greater flight risk; that he had a \u2018history of violating court orders,\u2019 and the fact he was \u2018convicted of a violent felony.\u2019<\/p>\n

Lanez has been held in jail since December\u00a0when he was found guilty\u00a0on three gun-related charges.<\/p>\n
It was found that he shot international star Megan \u2013 real name Megan Jovon Ruth Pete \u2013\u00a0in the foot in 2020 after a party.<\/p>\n
She was left wounded after the shooting and needed to undergo surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet.<\/p>\n
He chose not to take the stand\u00a0during the trial.<\/p>\n
The jury deliberated for one day before convicting Lanez of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.<\/p>\n
