Lanez’ Alone At Prom arrives as he begins his 10-year prison sentence in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He recently remarked that he’s in “great spirits” during an update on Instagram. “I’m talking to you live from prison right now. I’m just happy to get out of that bullshit county jail. They were hating on the young fly, you heard? Had me on 24-hour lockdown. A half-sized cell by myself,” he said. “No windows, no mirrors. N—a ain’t even seen himself in a whole year. But with all them disadvantages against me, my head has always been held high, man. I want y’all to know I’m in great spirits, and my drive and ambition is growing stronger every day.”

Tory Lanez is obviously in the midst of serving his 10-year prison sentence after the Megan Thee Stallion debacle. However, he is as eager as ever to push out new material. Just moments ago, we found out that the Canadian rapper and singer sent out a tweet expressing this urge to get more music to his fans. The message simply read, “I Think .. Ashton’s Back #AloneAtPromDeluxe :)” At the time we did not have anything else to go off of. However, that all changed not too long after. Not even an hour ago, Tory posted a clip from a music video and another revealing note on his Instagram.

The visuals were for the music video for the Alone At Prom smash hit, “The Color Violet.” It currently sits at nearly 550 million streams on Spotify. It is a late-night cruising anthem that was a part of the 80s transformation that we saw seem to dip into on the record. Clearly, it is still resonating with listeners that Tory decided to put out a video for it nearly two years later.

Over this past week, there have been numerous reports pertaining to Tory Lanez and his experience in prison. Overall, these reports have been a mixed bag.

Tory Lanez Speaks

Perhaps the most noteworthy part of his message was the fact that he stated a deluxe version of Alone At Prom is on the way. Back in 2021, Tory Lanez delivered an 80s album that was filled with throwback hits. The album turned out to be one of his most successful endeavors, and fans have wanted more tracks. Well, that seems to be an inevitability now. However, it remains to be seen when the project will drop. At this stage, we do not have a release date.

This latest update from Lanez likely comes as a surprise to a lot of people. It is especially interesting as he notes how he is happy to be out of county jail and is embracing state prison life. Overall, it seems like this situation as Lanez looking to galvanize his supporters, who are firmly in his corner despite the conviction. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Tory Lanez’s “Alone At Prom” Album Inspiration, Alexa, Gets Touching Tribute From Singer After Death

by

Being behind bars is hard enough, but knowing that life is continuing on without you for those you love on the outside only adds an extra layer of anxiety for many of those serving time. Besides missing out on major milestones, prisoners also bypass many tragedies, such as illness and funerals. Less than a year into his sentence, Tory Lanez is learning this the hard way as he says goodbye to a recently deceased friend via Instagram.

On Thursday (September 7), the father of one’s profile lit up with a message dedicated to a woman named Alexa, who was a muse for Lanez’s 2021 Alone At Prom album. It’s unclear exactly how, or when she died, though the R&B artist had nothing but beautiful things to say about their relationship. “ALEXA… A close friend to me and so many, a beautiful soul and the muse that revolutionized ‘Alone At Prom,’” he penned from his cell.

Tory Lanez’s Past Muse Tragically Loses Her Life

“We laughed, we worked, we partied, and we shared many deep conversations and moments together,” Lanez reflected. “I should have been there to stop this from happening 😔. It hurts more that I was not able to say my final goodbyes at your Ceremony of Life, but I promise to make your legacy live on. You meant so much to so many of us 🤍. May your imprint be stamped on the world forever as you Rest in Paradise.” In the heartfelt caption’s accompanying photo dump, the 31-year-old shared some of his favourite memories with Alexa, including the time they spent on set filming visuals together.

Interestingly, Tory Lanez’s heartfelt tribute to his fallen friend surfaced online around the same time we heard about the plea deal he reportedly refused. Apparently, the Canadian was offered an opportunity that would see him spending only four years in prison, rather than 10, but he wasn’t interested. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tory Lanez Song, “The Color Violet” Enters Billboard Hot 100

by

Tory Lanez is one of the most controversial artists in the world right now. On December 23, he was found guilty for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.

However, it seems as though the “Say It” artist is still receiving plenty of streams from behind bars.

On Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart dated for the week of January 14, 2023, one of the Canadian artist’s singles, “The Color Violet,” makes a new appearance at #87. Furthermore, Lanez himself appears on the Billboard Global 200 chart for artists, at #122 there.

The 30-year-old dropped “The Color Violet” in 2021, as the fourth track off of his sixth studio album, Alone At Prom. The project features distinct ’80s-inspired production.

Of course, this news comes just a few weeks after Lanez’s guilty verdict in the Megan Thee Stallion trial. The jury is responsible for declaring him guilty of all three charges against him. This includes carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, assault with a semiautomatic handgun and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

However, new reports indicate that the Chixtape rapper has fired his attorney. He’s hiring Suge Knight’s former lawyer, David Kenner, as his replacement.

“Kenner is a longtime criminal defense attorney whose clients include former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight. Anyone with actual experience in criminal law (not all lawyers) will tell you he’s joining the case a bit late: Before trial would have been better,” says legal reporter Meghann Cuniff in a tweet.

Earlier today, TMZ began circulating photos of the “Savage” rapper’s injured foot from the shooting. The set of photos also includes x-rays of her injury, as well as images of a bloody suitcase in the backseat of the vehicle where the incident occurred.

The sentencing was originally set to take place soon, on January 27. However, the hiring of his new attorney may cause a delay now. The Toronto native faces up to 22 years in years in prison.

What are your thoughts on “The Color Violet” cracking the Billboard Hot 100? Comment below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates and stories in music and pop culture.

George Michael’s Estate Wants A ‘Careless Whisper’ Sample Removed From Tory Lanez’s Album ‘Alone At Prom’

by

Tory Lanez is once again under fire for unauthorized sample use on his ’80s-themed album Alone At Prom. This time, it’s the estate of George Michael who wants a song removed, saying “Enchanted Waterfall” uses part of “Careless Whisper,” arguably Michael’s signature hit. Even worse, the estate claims that they already rejected his request to use the sample flouting the estate’s wishes in releasing the song anyway.

“It was brought to our attention that the song ‘Enchanted Waterfall’ by the artist Tory Lanez incorporated an unauthorized sample of ‘Careless Whisper’ written by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley,” reads a statement given to Variety. “Requested permission for this use had been declined in June 2021 so we took immediate action on behalf of the writers, in collaboration with our publishers Warner Chappell Music, to prevent further exploitation as we will not tolerate any unauthorized use of any songs within the catalogs of George Michael and/or Andrew Ridgeley.”

The song has since been removed from Spotify but is still up on Apple Music, Tidal, and YouTube. It’s the second time Lanez has been taken to task over this album after Madonna called him out via Instagram for sampling her song “Into The Groove” on “Pluto’s Last Comet.” While Variety‘s report doesn’t cite a lawsuit being filed just yet, it certainly wouldn’t help the embattled Canadian singer to receive another suit, as he’s already being sued for foreclosure on a Miami condo and facing criminal charges for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
