Tory Lanez Speaks Out From Prison, Announces Deluxe Album
On September 25, 2023, Canadian rapper Tory Lanez broke his peace and provided followers with an update from North Kern State Prison in Delano, California, via an Instagram voice message.
The singer was first held in a county jail after he was sentenced to 10 years in August for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Lanez stated, “Ayo, Umbrellas, man. What’s good? I’m talking to you live from prison right now. Man, I’m just happy to get out from that bulls**t county jail. They was hating on a young fly n**ga, ya heard? Had me on 24-hour lockdown. Half-sized cell by myself. No windows, no mirrors. N**ga ain’t even seen himself in a whole year, yo.”
Following a Page Six article that claimed Lanez was “scared for his life” in prison, the Toronto native made an audio announcement. According to a person who spoke with the publication, “He feels like he is an instant and direct target because of his celebrity status.”
Lanez seemingly countered those claims. He said, “With all them disadvantages against me, my head has always been held high, man. And I want y’all to know I’m in great spirits. My drive and my ambition is growing stronger and stronger every day, and I’m so proud of how y’all been moving in my support. Man, I feel like this a scary time, but don’t be afraid, man. This don’t spark no fear in my heart at all. In fact, I’m more prepared than ever. The music, the videos, and all the projects you wanted, they all ready to drop.”
The musician also said that his 2021 album Alone at Prom would have a deluxe version. The first album’s debut position on the Billboard 200 list was No. 59, and it produced songs like “Lady of Namek” and “‘87 Stingray.”
Even as he begins a ten-year jail sentence, Lanez’s new message seems to be intended to keep his fan base motivated and interested.
