In a turn of events that has caught the attention of the music industry and fans alike, Raina Nancy Chassagne, the wife of Canadian rapper Tory Lanez, has filed for divorce. The couple, who had been married for less than a year, is now parting ways as Lanez serves a 10-year prison sentence.
Chassagne, who tied the knot with Lanez on June 25, 2023, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The separation date has been listed as June 1, 2024, marking an end to their brief union1. The couple also shares a 7-year-old son, Kai’lon Peterson, for whom Chassagne is seeking both legal and physical custody2.
The news comes amidst Lanez’s incarceration for the shooting of fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion in the summer of 2020. The incident, which took place in the Hollywood Hills, led to a highly publicized trial and subsequent conviction of Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson3.
Lanez’s legal troubles have been a source of much controversy and public scrutiny. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón commented on the rapper’s pattern of conduct, which was intended to intimidate Megan Thee Stallion and prevent her from sharing her truth3. Megan herself has spoken out about the trauma and terror she experienced following the incident3.
As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, the divorce adds another layer to the complex narrative surrounding Tory Lanez. The music world watches on as one of its own faces the consequences of his actions, both in his personal life and his professional career.
