The Canadian rapper filed a formal ethics complaint against his former lawyer, claiming she wasn’t working toward his best interests.
Tory Lanez is still fighting his charges for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, for which he is currently serving a 10-year sentence — and now he’s coming for his former lawyer, Shawn Holley, claiming she has a conflict of interest.
According to TMZ, the rapper — real name Daystar Peterson — filed a “formal ethics complaint to the State Bar of California…claiming she didn’t have his best interest at heart when she represented him.”
Tory alleges that Holley had a connection to Roc Nation, which is Megan’s record label. She is a co-executive producer and is reportedly one of the inspirations of the Hulu drama “Reasonable Doubt.” Meg’s hit song “Savage (Remix)” was included in Season 2 of the series.
Holley’s daughter Nayanna also had a song featured on the series. It’s worth noting that per IMDB, Roc Nation is not listed among the series’ production or distribution companies.
He also claims “Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez was allowed to assist Megan in giving police statements.” Lanez is accusing Holley of leaving her responsibilities because she quit Dec. 18, five days before his guilty verdict. The Canadian artist claims to have paid Holley $200,000 to $300,000.
The “LUV” rapper claims that when he wouldn’t plead guilty, Holley no longer wanted to prove he was innocent. He also alleges that she told a DNA expert not to “perform extensive studies on the gun after he insisted he never touched it.” He believes that not pleading guilty is what eventually led to her quitting.
However, he claims it was Roc Nation behind the situation…not allegations that she bribed a witness.
Tory is seeking to have Holley disciplined for these alleged violations and to have his payment returned. She responded to Tory’s accusations in a statement to TMZ, calling them “meritless.”
“Mr. Peterson brought these meritless claims to the State Bar over a year ago, and they were summarily rejected and the matter was promptly closed,” the statement reads. “His actions to publicize this failed effort are likely tied to the appeal of his criminal conviction, for which I wish him well.”
She also denied any “business ties to Roc Nation” and explained that the company “has nothing to do with” “Reasonable Doubt.”
