Tory Lanez is unleashing music from behind bars. While he is fighting for an appeal, the rapper has dropped “Hurt Me,” recorded from inside the jail.
The new single comes with a note from Lanez, who says that his jail cell has become his office.
“To my Family, my Friends and to the Umbrellas World Wide I want y’all to know I haven’t lost my faith in God and that I’m in high spirits,” Lanez wrote. “I’m praying for the best and remain confident that God will bring me through this.
“I have spent the last 7 months rehabilitating my mind, body, and soul. Though I came to jail a good person, I will leave a great person. I’ve turned this jail cell into my work office. I will continue the legacy of the Umbrella from here or anywhere else, I won’t let anything stop me from being a positive light and a help to those in need.”
He would go on to salute his artist Yoko Gold in the statement. You can see it all and hear the single below.
Tory Lanez’s sentencing has been pushed to early August. The adjustment comes as Lanez’s team requested a continuance. LA County court journalist Meghann Cuniff revealed the new sentencing date would be Aug. 7.

As pieces of Tory Lanez’s court documents continue to emerge, a new memorandum notes Lanez and DaBaby attempted to “rush the stage” during Megan Thee Stallion’s Rolling Loud performance in 2021.
That was the same year, DaBaby revealed Tory Lanez was inside a costume on stage with DaBaby. Megan performed before DaBaby, and once the “Suge” rapper hit the stage, he brought out Tory Lanez. Following that moment, he would go on to perform one of his biggest hits with Thee Stallion, “Cash Shit.”

The legal docs state, “It was also brought to the victim’s attention that the defendant and [DaBaby] attempted to rush the stage during her performance.” Thee Stallion didn’t consent to Lanez being present.
DaBaby is back getting bars off. Appearing in a video from a Circle K gas station, DaBaby raps over JAY-Z’s “Public Service Announcement” in a freestyle. In the video, DaBaby rips off his beater and stamped himself as the best rapper after his blitz of a flow. You can hear it from DaBaby below.
Earlier this month, the Charlotte, North Carolina rapper returned with his newest music video for “SELLIN CRACK,” featuring the one and only Offset. Clocking in at five minutes and 40 seconds, the video is inspired by the classic 1991 film New Jack City, which starred Wesley Snipes, Mario Van Peebles, Ice-T, Chris Rock, and more.
Directed by DaBaby and frequent collaborator Reel Goats, “SELLIN CRACK” sees both DaBaby and Migos decked out in swaggy, old-school outfits as they’re seen delivering their own versions of the iconic Nino Brown character. Not only do they bring the song to life, but they recreate timeless scenes from the movie.
Special guests are seen throughout the music video, including D’Aydrian Harding, Kane Kongg and Samaria Stewart. The song itself is produced by Charlie Heat, following the success of DaBaby’s previous standout visual for “SHAKE SUMN,” which is currently at 3.6 million views in just two weeks. “SHAKE SUMN” serves as the go-to twerk anthem for this upcoming summer.
Both tracks come from DaBaby’s most recent three-track bundle, CALL DA FIREMAN, released at the top of May.

In April, DaBaby revealed he hoped to return to his friendship and working relationship with Megan Thee Stallion. TMZ caught up with therapper as he was in Beverly Hills and revealed he was open to getting back on track with Thee Stallion.
“Absolutely, Meg,” DaBaby said. “We are cooler than a fan.”
Regarding Tory Lanez, DaBaby said it’s hard to speak with him these days.
DaBaby also revealed that new music would be coming at the end of the month.
DaBaby being back cool with Megan Thee Stallion would be a long way from this. You can hear it from DaBaby below.

While that festival remains infamous for DaBaby’s onstage comments that cost him numerous other festival slots and corporate endorsements, it was also notable that the Charlotte rapper brought Tory Lanez onstage to perform their new collaboration, drawing the ire of Megan Thee Stallion fans who saw it as an act of disloyalty after Meg had collaborated multiple times with DaBaby.
Now, according to the memo filed LA District Attorneys requesting a 13-year sentence for Lanez due to his lack of remorse for his actions, it appears that DaBaby and Tory’s original plan was even worse. While it was previously reported that Tory and DaBaby had entered the green room, violating Meg’s restraining order against Tory, the memo asserts that they “attempted to rush the stage during her performance.”
Whatever they planned to do after that remains unclear because they were prevented from disrupting her performance. Instead, DaBaby introduced Tory during his own set, where they performed “Skat.” After this, Megan Thee Stallion fell out with DaBaby, whose own popularity took a nosedive due to his antics over the next several months — including his own juvenile attempt to use their prior relationship for clout on his song “Boogeyman.” On the song, he alleges that he also had a sexual relationship with Meg, which could explain his partnership with Tory, even after Tory was accused of shooting her.
Tory’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 13.
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
He was undeniably wild in his younger days. However, 50 Cent has become known as a renowned businessman now that he’s settled down. Of course, the New Yorker still loves to troll his contemporaries on Instagram. Still, that doesn’t mean he’s not spreading love too. According to Page Six, Fif’s most recent random act of kindness took place following a steakhouse dinner with DaBaby, during which they reportedly ordered one of everything on the menu.
The father of two was hosting a celebration for a new deal with his Branson Cognac brand and obviously didn’t hesitate to splurge. Insiders reveal that he and guests dined on a salt and pepper lobster alongside numerous steaks. The party went on until the restaurant closed. It was also attended by Power Book II: Ghost actor Woody McClain, DJ Camilo, and DJ Self.
Thankfully 50 is getting positive reviews from the waitstaff, even with the large order. The media mogul made it worth their while, as he reportedly left a $1,000 tip on the bill. He’s since commemorated the evening with an Instagram post, though he made no mention of his extensive gratuity. “Good times, Good living NY vibes Brooklyn Chop House,” the “I Get Money” artist wrote in his caption. Since sharing the post earlier this afternoon, Fif has earned plenty of praise in the comments for taking Jonathan Kirk under his wing and showing support, despite the numerous times the industry has tried to cancel him in the past.
Elsewhere in New York, DaBaby nearly accepted an incredibly NSFW offer from a fan backstage at the city’s Hot 97 Summer Jam. While he was on his way out, the embattled rapper was approached by a woman offering to give him head right then and there. Click the link below to see his reaction, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
It was a wild Sunday (June 4) at Hot 97 Summer Jam in New York City for both artists and attendees alike. Coi Leray turned up the heat with her lively performance ahead of her sophomore album later this month, and Ice Spice joined Lil Tjay during his set after bringing out Flo Milli during an entertaining show of her own. Elsewhere, DaBaby also had the crowd turning up, though an NSFW moment with a salacious fan backstage is making more waves than his actual time on stage.
As XXL reports, Jonathan Kirk was backstage at the annual event, on his way out with a crew of security when a woman approached him. “Pull it out. Can I suck it right now?” she asks the embattled rapper, who first reaches down his pants, but quickly has a change of heart. Cameras caught him saying something to the solicitor, and looking back at her multiple times over his shoulder, though it’s unclear exactly what the exchange was. She’s since made herself known @most_hated_mara_ on Instagram, where a video of her yelling at DaBaby after their interaction is currently on her feed.
“DaBaby played so hard,” Mara wrote in the caption of her post from Sunday evening. “Everything he rap bout is cap cause he ain’t let me throat baby sh*t @dababy @theshaderoom @theshaderoom @theshaderoom @dababy.” It’s obvious that the woman wanted the attention of the blogs, and she’s since got it.
According to her bio, Mara is a mother of three, but she certainly doesn’t let that get in the way of her being free. Speaking of children – seeing as the “BOPS” rapper’s most recent co-parent, DaniLeigh was charged with a DUI hit and run earlier this month, it’s likely wise he opted to keep his privates to himself in public.
Check out a video of Mara’s POV posted to her IG page below. Do you think her reaction to DaBaby’s rejection was out of pocket? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
DaniLeigh is a creative multi-hyphenate who’s showcased an ability to curate chart-topping hits or choreograph dance routines. The 28-year-old has been everywhere, from DaniLeigh’s controversial public relationship with DaBaby to spearheading Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour choreography. The Def Jam Recordings phenom has worked with the likes of Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, and Pharrell. Unfortunately, she was reportedly arrested during Memorial Day Weekend. According to TMZ, she was driving under the influence when she hit somebody with her car. DaniLeigh was arrested early Tuesday in Miami Beach and is accused of causing severe bodily injury to the victim. Now facing three felony charges, her career is seriously under threat.
Named Danielle Curiel, she was born in Florida to Dominican parents. That Latin influence appears in her sound, blending the worlds of R&B, Latin, and Hip-Hop. She referenced this when talking to Unclear, stating, “Plus growing up Dominican… that’s our way of life. Family Sundays we get together, sing, dance, enjoy life.” When DaniLeigh was a teenager, she began singing and dancing. Similar to the beginnings of many other artists, she would begin to garner attention by posting covers of songs on YouTube. Moving to Los Angeles at 16, she would quickly make connections in the creative capital of the US.
Rock Icon Prince Kickstarted Her Career
However, her teenage success is largely attributed to her close relationship with the iconic singer Prince. The flamboyant rock icon initially reached out to DaniLeigh to dance to his new song, 2013’s “Breakfast Can Wait.” After submitting the video, Prince decided to have her direct the video. At only 18 years old, she suddenly found herself directing a set after years of re-enacting covers in her childhood home. Nicole Kirkland, another choreographer associated with the music video, dispelled DaniLeigh’s claims regarding her role. She stated, “Did the choreography? But I did the choreography for the submission. And then I & @antoinetroupe choreographed the video,” wrote Kirkland, before she went off on the singer. DaniLiegh clarified her stance but stood firm on Prince wanting her to be involved.
DaniLeigh & DaBaby Were In A Relationship

DaniLeigh’s musical and directorial experiences eventually manifest into roles like her sophomore album, MOVIE. Released with a visual counterpart, Dani told us, “Just the fact that I got to do something like this for my album showed people that I am a creative person. This pandemic has either made people be like, ‘Bro, I don’t know what to do,’ or the other way around where they have time and they’re just, really excited type of thing.” MOVIE depicts how she was forced to move on from the relationships. One of the exes is meant to mirror DaniLeigh’s experience in her relationship with DaBaby.
DaniLeigh has been the source of media drama for reasons beyond her DUI incident this Memorial Day weekend. DaniLeigh and DaBaby were in a very public relationship throughout 2021 and 2022. She gave birth to a daughter, Velour, back in December of 2021. However, the relationship between the two went sour shortly after the child’s birth. While DaBaby has claimed that Dani was a side-piece, she is steadfast in her knowledge that the two were more. In addition, she received backlash for releasing “Yellow Bone,” which usually references light-skinned or mixed-race Black women. Audience members went after DaniLeigh, leading to a full apology from her over Instagram Live.
Not long after her successful directorial debut, DaniLeigh’s career took off. After releasing a slew of singles, she was signed to Def Jam Records ahead of the release of her debut album, Summer With Friends. “All I Know” would be the hit track off of the project, sampling Aretha Franklin amid groovy R&B production. After signing with Def Jam, she collaborated with MCs such as Lil Yachty, YG, and, most recently, Fivio Foreign. By the end of the 2010s, DaniLeigh had gone from recording covers on YouTube to choreographing music videos for DaBaby and releasing hit tracks such as the Chris Brown-aided “Easy.” There were rumors that she was working with some Hip Hop icons on her next project. However, her recent arrest could spell disaster for her career. While that plays out in real-time, her fans wait impatiently for updates.
Everything DaBaby releases is a banger. But beyond that, one thing you can count on is that he will deliver the most cinematic visuals.
Today, the Charlotte, North Carolina rapper returns with his newest music video for “SELLIN CRACK,” featuring the one and only Offset.
