    Drake has once again voiced his support for fellow Canadian artist Tory Lanez, urging for his early release from prison. On his Instagram Stories, the Toronto rapper shared a petition aimed at persuading California Governor Gavin Newsom to pardon Lanez, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

    Alongside the petition link, Drake added a message of support: “@torylanez come home soon.” This marks another public show of solidarity from Drake, who has consistently backed Lanez despite the high-profile conviction.

    Last year, Drake posted a photo of Lanez on social media with the caption, “3 you,” believed to reference Lanez’s prison status.

    Drake also appeared to reference the shooting in his 2022 track “Circo Loco,” drawing criticism for lyrics that many interpreted as mocking Megan Thee Stallion. The Houston rapper responded forcefully on social media, calling out male rappers for trivializing violence against women and using her trauma for attention.

    Megan emphasized the backlash she has faced for speaking out, highlighting the ongoing tension in the hip-hop community over the case and its broader implications for women in the industry.

    ‘I Crawled So The Streaming Community Could Walk,’ Says Tory

    Tory Lanez believes he played a pivotal role in the current success of streaming platforms that have helped unknown artists rise to fame and given established celebrities a second chance at stardom.

The show quickly gained traction, with notable moments like Drake joining an episode, helping Lanez break an Instagram Live record with over 237,000 viewers. The show’s success even caught the attention of Instagram’s CEO, who assisted in getting Quarantine Radio back online after it was temporarily suspended.

    As the show grew, Lanez took the opportunity to partner with Amazon Music and The Dream Center in May 2020, launching the Tory Lanez Dream City Fund as a response to the overwhelming success of Quarantine Radio.

    Megan Thee Stallion Awarded Five-Year Restraining Order Against Tory Lanez

    Megan Thee Stallion secured a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez after his 2020 shooting conviction

    Megan Thee Stallion has successfully secured a five-year restraining order against Tory Lanez, alleging that he continuously harasses her even while in prison. This is a result of a 10-year prison sentence for shooting her in July of 2020. According to reports, Lanez should not have come close to, threatened, or contacted the Houston rapper before contacting her, at least, on January 9, 2030. Also, will require him to remain 100 yards away from her.

    Such a decision was made in Los Angeles on Thursday (January 9) during a court hearing. Megan testified via Zoom about how Lanez’s continued harassment affected her emotionally. “I haven’t been at peace since I was shot, and I’m just trying to be un-harassed,” said the report, which reported that Lanez’s activities affected the emotional well-being of the witness for the prosecution. “I just really want the harassment to stop from the guy who shot me.”

    In addition, Megan said Lanez paid third-party bloggers to spread lies. She mentioned a payment of $3,000 made from Lanez’s father to blogger Milagro Gramz, although Megan is suing her for cyber-stalking and emotional distress.

    Megan recounted in tears how the harassment led her to become anxious, saying, “I am just always nervous. I never had anxiety before this.”

  • Megan Thee Stallion Accuses Tory Lanez of Orchestrating Harassment Campaign from Prison

    Megan Thee Stallion Accuses Tory Lanez of Orchestrating Harassment Campaign from Prison

    Megan Thee Stallion has upped the ante in a legal showdown, alleging that Tory Lanez has been conducting a harassment campaign against her from prison.

    The rapper in October, filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz, accusing her of peddling lies while the shooting trial of Lanez unfolded massively. Now, Megan has revised that complaint, which was obtained exclusively by HipHopDX. Megan alleges that Lanez is the mastermind behind all the online attacks hurled at her by Gramz.

    According to the amended filing, Megan’s attorneys obtained Lanez’s prison phone call recordings through a subpoena. The actual calls allegedly show the Canadian artist paying Gramz to peddle “malicious falsehoods” about Megan, effectively putting her in a “mouthpiece” status.

    “The document states that [Tory] has repeatedly discussed [Gramz] with his father,” continued the calls. In one of the recorded conversations, “the two confidently asserted that [Megan] would never be able to prove that [Tory] pays or paid [Gramz] for attacking [Megan].”

    In addition, it reads: “[Gramz’s] false statements regarding the trial are part of a conspiratorial relationship with [Tory] in which [Gramz] acts as a paid surrogate used to spread [Tory]”s lies about [Megan].”

    The amended complaint now includes a count for defamation against Gramz on top of previous allegations, which include promoting distorted sexual representation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and cyberstalking.

    Megan has further sought an injunction preventing Gramz from causing further harassment or other tenor acts as necessary by the court to protect her.
