Tory Lanez says he'll be home "very soon" but, in the meantime, he plans to up fresh music from behind bars.
On Wednesday night, July 24, the imprisoned artist provided an update for his fans, also known as his "Umbrellas." Lanez said that he and his engineer have finally figured out how to use his phone to record quality music from his cell.
“It’s over. I done cracked the f**king code, man," Lanez said in a recorded call he posted to Instagram. "This means that not even these prison walls can stop me from dropping new music. It’s crazy!"
“That being said, I’m about to start dropping hot heaps of coal on y’all head top," he continued. "I’m dropping the all new ‘Free Tory’ playlist – it’s gon’ be updated every week with new music that I’m recording from prison in real time. This is the first of its kind and although God has already shown me that this moment is only temporary , it speaks testimony to the fact that no matter where they put me they can’t lock down my spirit, my ambition, my soul my passion nor my destiny! Umbrellas, I'll be home soon' but in the meantime 'Free Tory Playlist' on the way you heard?"
Tory Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020. He was convicted on all three charges in December 2022. His sentencing was delayed for several months after he switched up his representation and fought to get a new trial. The effort ultimately failed and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison during a hearing last August. He's currently trying to appeal his conviction.
Fans can expect the "Free Tory Playlist" to debut this Friday, July 26.
