Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, recently revealed that he secretly married Raina Chassagne shortly before he began serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. However, Chassagne has now filed for divorce after less than a year of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
Despite secretly tying the knot in June 2023, just three months before Lanez’s incarceration, Chassagne never changed her last name and the length of their relationship before getting married remains unclear. The couple shares a 7-year-old son named Kai, with Chassagne now seeking sole legal and physical custody of the child, although she has agreed to visitation rights for Lanez. TMZ first reported the news of their divorce, indicating that despite the split, Chassagne has taken Kai to visit his father in prison at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.
During their visits, Kai and Lanez have been able to spend quality time together, engaging in activities such as playing board games, drawing, and enjoying vending machine snacks. They have even been able to share hugs, providing some sense of normalcy in an otherwise challenging situation. Lanez’s legal team has confirmed that their interactions during visits have been personal and not through a glass barrier, allowing them to bond as father and son.
The divorce comes in the aftermath of Lanez’s trial in December 2022, where he faced charges related to the shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion. Stallion testified that Lanez fired shots at her after an argument ensued in their car, leading to his subsequent arrest and conviction. Despite allegations made during the trial, Lanez has maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him. However, he was ultimately convicted on all three felony charges, resulting in his imprisonment.
Tory Lanez’s secret marriage to Raina Chassagne has now come to an end with their impending divorce. Despite the challenges they have faced, including Lanez’s imprisonment and legal troubles, the couple’s focus remains on their son Kai, with efforts being made to ensure he has regular contact with both parents. The fallout from Lanez’s actions continues to impact all parties involved, highlighting the importance of accountability and consequences for one’s actions.
