From his prison cell, Tory Lanez collaborated with DDG on a newly released song, “HANDLE THE BUSINESS,” which sparked widespread debate just hours after it dropped.
In the song, Lanez recounts the events of the infamous 2020 pool party that led to his imprisonment. The gathering, which included Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Nicole, escalated into an argument and ended with Lanez allegedly shooting Megan in the leg. Reflecting on that night, Lanez raps: “The only thing I regret that night is jumping out of the pool with Kylie. [Jenner].” While some fans praise his continued commitment to music, others expressed wrathquestioned Megan Thee Stallion’s decision to revisit a traumatic event. One user on X commented: “How did he get worse in prison? Put him in solitary confinement,” while another asked: “Can they increase his sentence him for this?”
Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted of assault with a firearm, illegal possession of a firearm and careless discharge of a weapon in connection with the shooting. Despite his imprisonment, Lanez has managed to maintain a connection with his fans through his music, although his efforts have not been without controversy.
In September, Lanez announced the suspension of his ‘Prison Tapes’ series, alleging that his creative efforts had been hindered by systemic disapproval. “The rumors are true,” Lanez explained. The jail tape will be suspended until further notice.” “My cell wasn’t ransacked and ransacked because I learned how to record myself in prison…I was shut down because the ‘HIGH’ found out what I was really doing with ‘The Prison Tapes’ ‘, and how many prisoners are being held.” Thanks to them, lives have been changed.”
He revealed that the proceeds from the recordings supported legal aid for inmates. According to Lanez, “Since July, I have provided legal representation to 472 inmates and actively reopened 476 cases.” He called the initiative the Hand of God Project and emphasized the goal of challenging systemic injustice, saying: “I named this project ‘The Hand of God Project.’ Ultimately, they knew I was a threat… only that I went out in a blaze of glory trying to revolutionize the end of mass incarceration for our people. “
