Tory Lanez Proclaims Innocence, Again, On Instagram
Tory Lanez went on Instagram to further proclaim his innocence in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion while responding to someone’s comment.
Lanez responded to a post that stated, "He needs to say if he shot or not lol." He also mentioned how his recent album, Daystar, had played a role.
"I realize that not every body heard me say 'no I did not' on my album," he wrote, "... becuz they mistaked [sic] a black man expressing his innocence for insensitivity ... as if we ain't all fighting the same fight, as if exiling a successful man is the answer to a problem bigger than him ... you'll get more than u need to know when court resume."
Lanez pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges in the July shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in November. He was also charged with one count of assault with a semi semiautomatic firearm and one count of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
In the song “Shots Fired” from Megan Thee Stallion’s debut album Good News that dropped last month, the rapper dissed Lanez for allegedly shooting her in the foot. "You shot a 5'10" b*tch, with a .22/ Talkin' 'bout bones and tendons like them bullets weren't pellets," she rapped.
Lanez faces up to 22 years and eight months in prison if he gets convicted. His next court hearing is currently set for Jan. 20.
