Tory Lanez is making waves from behind bars with the release of his new album, ‘PETERSON’, recorded entirely in prison. One of the most talked-about moments on the project is his heartfelt shoutout to Chris Brown, crediting him for stepping up during his financial struggles.
Chris Brown Helped Fund Tory Lanez’s Legal Battle
On the track “T.D.F (feat. DSTNY) x LA County Jail,” Tory raps:
“Where was you ns when I was in Cali fed up with no covers to bundle up?
Only real na that helped me was Chris Brown, that really my brother, bruh.”
He expands on this in “Free Tory”, detailing how much Brown’s support meant to him:
“I had no real access to my funds… my lawyer wanted over a quarter million for the appeal.
I started hollering at all my rap friends, my celebrity friends, and nobody was there.
Chris Brown came out of nowhere, bro, just gave me the money.”
Tory calls Brown’s gesture a true act of brotherhood, saying he will “never forget” the singer’s generosity.
Tory Lanez’s Legal Struggles & Chris Brown’s Controversy
Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, a case that remains highly controversial. His legal battles include:
- A restraining order tied to the case
- A defamation lawsuit related to his defense
Meanwhile, Chris Brown is also facing legal scrutiny. He’s dealing with backlash over ‘A History of Violence,’ a documentary detailing past abuse allegations against him. Brown has since responded with a defamation lawsuit against Warner Bros.
Brotherhood Amid Controversy
Despite public backlash and ongoing calls for accountability, Tory Lanez and Chris Brown continue to support each other through their legal and personal struggles. Their bond, tested by controversy, remains unshaken—at least according to Tory’s latest album.
