(GEMS RADIO)—Tory Lanez has filed a motion to start a new trial against Megan Thee Stallion. The request has been thrown out though because it “lacks substance”. This is according to the Los Angeles prosecutors.

According to HipHopDX: Lanez wasn’t denied the right to counsel under the Sixth Amendment, and neither was any of the evidence — including the admission of the DNA evidence — improper.

Also, the prosecution believes Lanez’s claims were false. He said that he wasn’t allowed to testify at trial and that his rights to due process were violated.
