Herriford then revoked Lanez’ prior $250,000 bail, tacked on an additional $100,000 and set a Sept. 24 court date, Billboard reported.

The “Say It” rapper, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, has pleaded not guilty to both assault with a firearm and a gun possession charge related to the July 2020 shooting of Stallion that occurred during an argument following a Hollywood Hills party.
