As RadarOnline.com reported, the Canadian rapper is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan thee Stallion in the foot outside of an after-party at Kylie Jenner's Los Angeles home on July 12, 2020.
A California jury convicted Lanez, who pleaded not guilty to three felony charges, in December 2023.
He was found guilty of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
Lanez was convicted on three felony counts in the 2020 shooting of Megan thee Stallion.
Prosecutors alleged Lanez subjected Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, to two-and-a-half years of harassment after the shooting.
Lanez's prison sentence has not been the end of drama between him and Stallion, who has accused him of cyberstalking and enlisting bloggers to smear her name.
During a recent deposition, the Savage rapper asked a judge to reprimand Lanez for his conduct, which she branded "disruptive, inflammatory, and inconsistent with the basic norms of civil litigation."
Stallion's attorney sought to have Lanez held in contempt in a civil suit filed against blogger Milagro Cooper, who has been accused of using "her social media accounts to spread defamatory statements, deepfake porn videos, and outright lies about (Megan) at the behest and command of Mr. Peterson."

Stallion has accused Lanez of cyberstalking and enlisting bloggers to smear her name while in prison.
When Lanez was called to give his deposition in the civil suit, Stallion's attorney claimed the 32-year-old acted like he did not understand the words "discuss" and "approve."
The attorney further accused Lanez of being disrespectful and criticizing her appearance, including saying her hair color was "distracting" and told her to bring a hairbrush to the next deposition.
Stallion's filing also included an email from the law firm who represented Lanez in the shooting trial, which stated they were not representing him in the civil lawsuit and would not argue against him being held in contempt.
While Stallion initially denied being intimately involved with Lanez, she testified to having a sexual but non-exclusive relationship with the rapper at the shooting trial.
