Kylie Jenner and her mother Kris Jenner's boyfriend Corey Gamble may take the stand in the upcoming trial of rapper and singer Tory Lanez.

George G. Mgdesyan, Peterson's defense attorney, named the stars of Hulu's "The Kardashians" as potential witnesses for the defense, according to Rolling Stone. The trial is slated to begin on December 12 and last 10 days.

Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is accused of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, following an argument that happened when leaving a party at Jenner's home on July 12, 2020.

The musicians were leaving the festivities in a black SUV when a dispute broke out between them and Pete exited the vehicle, CBS News reported. According to Pete, Peterson allegedly shot both of her feet during the argument.

Mgdesyan implied that Jenner and Gamble, both of whom were present at the gathering, might have information that could impact how the case unfolds in court.

"The argument, everything started there," Mgdesyan told Rolling Stone.

Pete publicly accused Peterson of shooting her during an Instagram live session on August 20, 2020, according to BET. "Yes, this n- - - - Tory shot me," she told viewers.

Los Angeles prosecutors charged Peterson with felony assault in October 2020, NBC reported. The Canadian native pleaded not guilty and continues to fight the case.

In April 2022, Pete accused Peterson again during a "CBS Mornings" interview with Gayle King. "I was really scared, 'cause I had never been shot at before," she told King.

Peterson has been taken off house arrest to prepare for his upcoming trial. He had been placed on electronic monitoring for reportedly violating court orders, including a restraining order granted to Pete, according to CBS.

"He should never have been on house arrest to begin with. It's punitive. Now that we're in trial, he needs to be part of the preparation," said Mgdesyan.
