The judge rejected the defense's bid for a new trial after a contentious hearing last month, in which one of his new attorneys, Jose Baez, called the rapper's defense during the trial a "jumbled, bungled mess" and said Lanez's trial attorney, George Mgdesyan, did not have enough time to prepare for trial and ultimately "failed" Lanez.

Under cross-examination, the Grammy Award-winning singer -- whose real name is Megan Pete -- said she initially had no intention of talking about what had happened and "didn't want to be a snitch," but felt she had to "defend my name" when she saw that people were "making things up" and suggesting that she hadn't been shot.
