Despite being behind bars following his 2022 conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez is showing no signs of backing down. In a recent interview from prison on the Full Send podcast, Lanez vehemently denied the allegations, doubling down on his innocence regarding the 2020 shooting. Lanez insists that his DNA was not found on the gun, which was central to the case.
“Ninety percent contributor on this gun is a male, and the rest of the percentages are two females and another male,” Lanez explained. “None of those four people are my DNA. So, I’m 100 percent excluded, not inconclusive like they said when I was in trial.” He further claimed that his fingerprints were completely absent from the weapon, magazine, and bullets involved in the incident.
Lanez’s comments add another layer to his continued defense, which has included consistent denials of his involvement in the shooting. His legal team has argued that there is a lack of concrete evidence linking him to the crime, despite his conviction.
Tory Lanez Announces New Album Amid Prison Riot
Amid his ongoing legal battles, Lanez also made headlines by announcing the release of a new album on Friday, March 7th. He promised fans that the album would not sound like a “jailhouse recording,” despite the challenges of recording from prison. Lanez’s most recent session, however, was interrupted by a prison riot, and footage from the scene showed him rapping over the phone before chaos erupted. The video revealed Lanez briefly getting pepper-sprayed but continuing to film despite the mayhem.
The new album is expected to be a significant release for the rapper, who remains a controversial figure even as he faces his legal battles. His upcoming music release will be one of the first major steps in his post-conviction career, marking a new chapter in an ongoing story full of twists and turns.
Megan Thee Stallion Moves Forward with Defamation Lawsuit
While Lanez prepares for his album drop, Megan Thee Stallion is moving forward with a defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz, accusing her of spreading false information about the rapper’s shooting incident. Megan’s legal team has pushed to include Lanez’s deposition in the defamation case, which was granted by a judge.
Megan’s lawyers argue that Lanez’s testimony is crucial to the case, particularly in uncovering any potential financial connections between Gramz and Lanez’s father, as well as her involvement in spreading harmful content about Megan. The lawsuit also accuses Gramz of circulating deepfake videos and engaging in harassment on Lanez’s behalf.
Megan Thee Stallion’s legal team continues to pursue action against those they believe have played a role in further tarnishing her reputation. With Lanez set to be deposed while serving his sentence, the drama surrounding the shooting case and its aftermath remains unresolved.
Lanez’s Legal Battles and Future Prospects
As Lanez continues to fight for his freedom in the courtroom, his legal troubles are far from over. His case remains a polarizing topic, with fans, critics, and legal experts all weighing in on the implications of his conviction and the ongoing legal dramas. While his new album will surely capture attention, the rapper’s future is uncertain, with his legal battles and defamation lawsuits continuing to make headlines.
For now, Tory Lanez’s fight for innocence and his career post-prison will unfold in the public eye, as he stays at the center of controversy with each new development.
