Multiple tweets from the Canadian singer were found in violation of the criminal protective order set with Megan Thee Stallion.
Judge David Herriford reportedly heard about an hour of arguments from Megan’s legal team and found Lanez’s social media activity to be targeting the Houston Hottie with “clear messages” subliminally sent her way.

The judge added a new condition to his bail release that he must not mention Megan Thee Stallion in any form on social media as the case progresses.
According to TMZ, prosecutors requested that the bail be set to at least $5 million, but the judge ultimately settled on $350,000, which Tory Lanez is in the process of posting to regain his freedom.
Dillon added that the trial is finally set to get underway on September 14 when both parties will be back in court.
