Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson (born July 27, 1992),^[3] known professionally as Tory Lanez, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. First discovered by Jamaican-American singer Sean Kingston, he received initial recognition for his mixtape Conflicts of My Soul: The 416 Story, released in August 2013. In 2015, Lanez signed with record producer Benny Blanco's Mad Love Records, an imprint of Interscope Records.

Lanez' debut studio album, I Told You (2016) explored alternative R&B and was commercially successful. It was supported by the singles "Say It" and "Luv," which peaked at numbers 23 and 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Both released in 2018, Lanez' second and third albums, Memories Don't Die and Love Me Now? delved further into hip hop and were met with continued commercial success despite mixed reviews; the former became his first album to peak atop the Canadian Albums Chart, while the latter spawned the double platinum-certified single "Talk to Me" (with Rich the Kid). His fourth album and final major label release, Chixtape 5 (2019) peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200, while his fifth album, Daystar (2020) peaked at number ten. He then released his 1980s-inspired sixth album, Alone at Prom (2021), followed by his seventh, Sorry 4 What (2022) until his incarceration.

On August 8, 2023, Lanez was sentenced to ten years in prison after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.^[4] He was found guilty of first-degree assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. As of 2024, he is incarcerated at California Correctional Institution.^[5]^[6]^[7]
