Is Tory Lanez Being Blackballed?

Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been a recognizable name to most folks in the hip-hop industry for a handful of years now -- ever since working his way up from the Toronto underground with the release of his hit single “Say It” and the Grammy-nominated track “Luv”, both of which were cuts off his debut studio album, “I Told You” that dropped in 2016. That project would be the very first that Tory ever released on a big-time label, more specifically, Interscope, whom Lanez would partner with for the next four years, releasing a further three-studio album and one mixtape. But by the early stages of 2020, Tory’s time with Interscope was officially over following an epic confrontation with Megan Thee Stallion that would result in shots being fired and a seemingly never-ending court case that has yet to work its way through the US legal system. In fact, the aftermath of what happened between these two would lead to Tory believing he’s been blackballed by the entire industry. To be honest, it looks like her has a point. The crazy thing is how innocently enough all this started off. Because by the time we realized that Tory and Megan were even in one another’s orbit, they honestly seemed like the best of friends. In April of 2020 -- only weeks after the pandemic set in -- a video popped up on Instagram Live of these two hanging out at Megan’s place. For the most part, fans of both rappers were immediately enamored over how Megan and Tory seemed into one another. Whether or not this relationship ever escalated to anything more than a flirtation, we don’t know for sure, but only a few months later, things would get complicated. Fast so let’s talk about the incident.
