Kim K's Bikini Video Fuels #FreeTory Movement: Why Tory Lanez is Loving the Kardashians Right Now
So here's the tea Kim Kardashian posted a sizzling bikini video on Instagram . Nothing too surprising right? But here's the twist she used a Tory Lanez song "The Color Violet" as the soundtrack. And the internet went wild. Suddenly Kim's comment section was flooded with #FreeTory hashtags. Fans are using Kim's post to rally support for his release from Prison.
Turns out Tory is definitely noticing. The CEO of Unite the People who is working with Tory actually spoke to him on the phone and told TMZ that Tory is super happy about Kim K using his track. It sounds like he's feeling the love from the Kardashian crew. And it's not just Kim! Remember back in June 2023 Kylie Jenner posted a video lip-syncing to one of his songs too. The whole Kardashian-Jenner fam seems to be fans.
According to sources Tory really respects the Kardashians for being able to appreciate his music even with everything going on in his personal life. He apparently said he's grateful they can "appreciate the artistry without judging the artist." That's a pretty big statement. And with his new album dropping Kim and Kylie might just give it an even bigger boost.
'Peterson' Album Incoming: Tory Lanez Promises "Real-Time Prison Album" Dropping This Week
Get ready for new music because Tory Lanez's new album " Peterson " is dropping this Friday! He announced it on Instagram calling it a sequel to his 2020 album "Daystar" which was also named after his real name Daystar Peterson. This album though is going to be something totally different. Tory is calling it the "first ever in-real-time prison album."
He told the Full Send podcast that he recorded the whole thing in prison and it's for the prisoners and by a prisoner. He claims it’s professionally recorded and will sound just like a regular Tory Lanez album but with extra emotion. Think raw pain hunger tears and cries all in his music. He even mentioned he was inspired to make the album after new releases from fellow Canadian artists like Drake PartyNextDoor and The Weeknd. Looks like even behind bars Tory's creativity is still flowing.
DNA Denials and Defamation Lawsuit: Tory Lanez Fights Back From Prison
Even with a new album coming Tory Lanez is still dealing with the legal fallout from the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. He was convicted back in December 2022 but he is not backing down. In that same Full Send podcast interview Tory doubled down on his innocence claims and denied key evidence from the trial. He specifically said that his DNA was NOT on the gun used in the shooting.
According to Tory the DNA analysis of the gun showed "Ninety percent contributor on this gun is a male and the rest of the percentages of this gun are two females and another male." He insists "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 also claimed his fingerprints were completely missing from the gun magazine and bullets. These are pretty strong claims and seem to contradict some of the trial evidence.
Meanwhile Megan Thee Stallion is not letting things slide either. She is moving forward with a defamation lawsuit against a blogger named Milagro Gramz. Megan claims Gramz spread false info about her and even deepfake videos on Tory's behalf and harassed her online. As part of this case Megan's legal team has been granted permission to depose Tory Lanez while he is still in prison. They believe his testimony is crucial to investigate Gramz's actions and her alleged financial connections to Tory's father. So even though he's locked up Tory's legal battles are definitely not over.
