Tory Lanez handcuffed in court after a judge ruled he violated protective order by tweeting about Megan Thee Stallion

• Rapper Tory Lanez faces charges for being accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.
• He was handcuffed in court Tuesday and had his bail increased after he tweeted about Stallion.

Rapper Tory Lanez was handcuffed in court after a judge ruled that he violated his protective order against rapper Megan thee Stallion Tuesday by interacting with tweets about the case, the Rolling Stone reported.

In addition to ordering that Lanez be placed in police custody, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford raised Lanez's bail from $250,000 to $350,000, according to the outlet.

Lanez, whose given name is Daystar Peterson, is accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.

In late February, YouTuber DJ Akademiks tweeted that Lanez's DNA "was not found on the weapon in the Meg Thee Stallion case," per the Rolling Stone.

"I saw this doc myself.. it literally says it was inconclusive in finding Tory DNA on the gun or magazine," the YouTuber added in the now-deleted tweet.

Lanez engaged in the tweets posted by Akademiks, saying that he told "no lies."

The protective order not only made it illegal for Lanez to contact or harass the female rapper but also prohibited him from sharing information about the case with others.

Following Lanez's tweet, Herriford said "the court cannot conclude the defendant distributed anything, however, it does appear that he violated the order that prohibits him from making any statements regarding discovery."

Lanez' attorney Shawn Holley claimed that Akademiks composed the tweet without having seen the documents and that Lanez didn't provide him with the information.

She also says the information Akademiks shared in the now-deleted tweet was inaccurate.

Holley said Akademiks wrote "that the DNA was not found on the weapon. And in fact, the swab of the gun indicates 'inconclusive,' that there were four contributors."

"If he had seen this document, he presumably would have got it right," she added.

Per an emailed statement sent to Insider, Holley said in court that "the DA requested that Mr. Peterson's bail be revoked or, in the alternative, that it be increased to $5 million."

"We are pleased that the Court rejected those outrageous requests," she told Insider in the statement.

Stallion's attorney Alex Spiro said in an emailed statement to Insider that the evidence in the case was "sufficient."

"The self-serving noise in this case will not change the facts or prevent this case from proceeding," he added.

Lanez has pleaded not guilty, and the case is scheduled to go to trial in front of a jury on September 14.

In a pre-trial testimony in December, Los Angeles Police Detective Ryan Stogner cited an interview and testified that Lanez shouted "Dance, bitch!" at Stallion as he fired the gun, the Los Angeles Times reported.

If he's convicted, he's looking at up to 22-years in prison, according to Variety.
