LA County investigating rapper Tory Lanez in alleged assault of singer August Alsina

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office is investigating Canadian recording artist Tory Lanez on suspicion of an alleged assault on singer August Alsina after a performance at a Chicago theater last weekend, officials said.

"We are aware of the allegations that the defendant attacked artist August Alsina and are investigating these claims," the D.A.'s office said in a statement. Lanez is already facing charges for a separate assault in which he is accused of shooting at and wounding rapper Megan Thee Stallion following a dispute in July 2020 outside a Hollywood Hills mansion.

"The allegations are serious and will be thoroughly examined," the office said.
