Tory Lanez managed to crawl out from whatever hobbit hole he’s been hiding in for weeks to finally address the shooting incident with Megan Thee Stallion. In the midst of his thin as his head-top defense, the bite-sized Canadian also dropped an album that we won’t be giving much shine today.
Hopping on Instagram Live on Thursday at 9PM west coast time, the singer and errant gunman was assumed to make some heavy apologies and explain the incident that left Megan Thee Stallion wounded and mentally shaken. Instead, the artist born Daystar Peters0n decided to instead plug an album we won’t mention by name and refused to actually talk about the real issue at hand.
We won’t further dignify Lanez by going further and instead, we turn our attention to the Internet which has ferociously roasted the diminutive singer as they should. We’ve got those reactions below.

So many of y’all would never be like “let’s hear the cops side of the story” if a black man was shot so i am really confused why you have this energy for Tory

These men are not in our rooms. J Cole released his little song to No Name a few days after Toyin's body was discovered. Tory released his project a day after Breona Taylor's murderers were let off. Their community has never and will never be Black women. https://t.co/21bccMsKoQ

Seeing a lot of Daniel Cameron energy from Tory Lanez fans. Megan thee Stallion was shot & she said Tory did it; but when it comes to a bullet in a Black woman's body y'all need ballistics, forensics, a confession, videos, etc. All Tory needed was a beat & hook to be believed. pic.twitter.com/jid1MXlLNE

Talent does not excuse behaviour. I don't care if Tory mixtape sounds like the angel of Gabriel singing it himself. What he did was inexcusable. That woman could have died bro. Sad world we living in.

Nothing Tory has to say is valid in my opinion. His entire trajectory seems to be predicated not on sincerity or apologetics, but the spreading of doubt. This is such a perverse illustration of the intermixing of misogyny and capitalism.
