Things are looking up for Tory Lanez. Last year, he was sentenced to ten years behind bars for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. However, Tory and his team haven’t given up the fight to appeal the verdict. Now, they’ve secured a small but meaningful victory.
Lanez recently filed a request for “relevant evidence” that could potentially work in his favor. Just days later, prosecutors filed paperwork to oppose his motion, but California’s court of appeals decided they would consider his request. While this doesn’t mean they will definitely grant it, it’s still a win for Lanez.
Since his conviction, things have been tough for Lanez both legally and personally. His wife of less than a year, Raina Chassagne, filed for divorce last month, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Some speculate their marriage was a way for Lanez to dodge deportation, but that remains just a theory. Despite these setbacks, Lanez has managed to keep some allies. Toosii, Wack 100, and Drake are among those who’ve shown him support.
Even though he’s in prison, Lanez hasn’t stopped making music. Earlier this month, he dropped two self-produced tracks from 2016, “Girls Around The World” and “I’ve Been,” alongside Play Picasso. These songs are a testament to his relentless dedication to his craft, regardless of his current circumstances.
Everyone’s waiting to see how Lanez’s legal battles will unfold. This small win might be the break he needs in a case that has been anything but straightforward. Whatever happens next, it’s clear that Tory Lanez isn’t backing down without a fight.
