Lanez’s father shared that he, his son, and their family have forgiven Megan Thee Stallion for her allegations that his son shot her.
In an Instagram Live on Thursday, Lanez’s dad, Sonstar Peterson, said: “This might come as a shock to many of you, but guess what? Both my son, myself, and others of our family have long decided that we are not going to hold any animosity against Megan … We forgave that girl a long time ago. A long time ago.”
The former pastor further said they know that the principle of forgiveness is important in order to cleanse one’s heart, to cleanse one’s soul, and to not be bound up with hatred.
“Yes, we have forgiven her. But what we will not back down from is the machine.”

“Hatred, resentment, bitterness — those things can actually diseases of the bones. It has been proven, and it can cause sickness in your body because you’re holding onto something that is negative against the real-life force in your life,” he added.
Peterson then shifted his focus to fighting “the machine” for justice in Tory’s case.
“Some will no doubt actually question: ‘Is he actually saying that Tory forgave Megan for all of what’s going on?’” he asked. “Yes, we have forgiven her. But what we will not back down from is the machine.”
Peterson nicknamed the justice system “the machine” after his son was handed his fate at the end of the year.
