"Sometimes good people do bad things," Herriford said. "Actions have consequences, and there are no winners in this case." "If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them," I would, Lanez continued. "The victim was my friend. The victim is someone I still care for to this day."Lanez appeared stunned while the sentence was read, but had no audible reaction. His family and fans in the courtroom also remained quiet after the sentence.
During Monday's session, Lanez's father, Sonstar Peterson, choked back tears as he talked about how the rapper's mother died when he was 11, just days after she first showed symptoms of the rare blood disorder that would lead to her death. Megan Thee Stallion, now 28, was already a major rising star at the time of the shooting, and her prominence has surged since. Born Megan Pete, she won a Grammy for best new artist in 2021, and she had No. 1 singles with "Savage," featuring Beyonce, and as a guest on Cardi B's "WAP."
Lanez's family and supporters have packed the courtroom; during the trial, they contended his prosecution was unjustly brought on by Megan and powerful figures in music. After the verdict was read in December, Lanez's father denounced the "wicked system" that led to his son's conviction; on Monday, Sonstar Peterson apologized to Herriford for the outburst.
