Iggy Azalea’s Letter About Tory Lanez Gets Published Online

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Iggy Azalea caught a whole bunch of heat online earlier this week when it was revealed that she wrote to the judge in the Tory Lanez case. Overall, Iggy was one of 76 people who wrote a letter on behalf of the disgraced artist. In her letter, she explained that Tory is a great person and that he doesn’t deserve to go to prison for a long time. Of course, many felt like this was a wild thing to do as Iggy herself as accused other men of abuse. That man is Playboi Carti. However, she wrote the letter anyway, and many are curious as to what she actually said.

Thankfully, legal reporter Meghann Cuniff was able to obtain the letter written by Azalea. On her website, the reporter published the letter in its entirety. Certain aspects of the letter are certainly interesting, and we will be highlighting some. For instance, Iggy wrote, “I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser.” She said this before noting that she never saw Lanez lose his temper. Additionally, she claimed he was extremely kind, especially to women. “I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman,” she claimed.

Azalea then went on to deliver some poetic language about how Tory is the best person she knows. “He said this is an opportunity to humble himself and soften his heart – ironic to hear one of the kindest people I know strive to become even kinder,” she claimed. “I’m not shocked – Its who he is. Watering and shining light on others until something beautiful grows. Daystar Peterson is not the pest you’ve heard about, he’s a gardener. He helps others bloom.”

Lastly, the artist also revealed that Tory Lanez had been hired to work on her next album. This led to her promising a judge that she would have a significant income source for Tory upon his release. Overall, it is clear that Iggy cares deeply for Tory. However, based on the sentence, this letter didn’t make that much of an impact.

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Iggy Azalea and Tory Lanez were reportedly hanging out with one another prior to the Megan Thee Stallion trial. Overall, some felt like this was a bit strange. After all, some thought it would be odd for Iggy to support Tory so publically amid such a huge scandal. Either way, it seemed as though their friendship had drifted apart as he began going to court. Subsequently, he was convicted of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting which has led to months of anticipation for his sentencing. The sentencing has been delayed on numerous occasions, however, today, it is finally taking place.

According to Meghann Cuniff, the courtroom is packed today, and many are making statements prior to the judge’s decision. As Cuniff reports, Judge Harriford received a number of letters. These letters were in support of Tory Lanez, who is facing 13 years in prison. Overall, more than 70 letters were submitted, and one of them came from none other than Iggy Azalea. It has not been stated what the letter says, although we do know that she submitted one.

Iggy Azalea Reaches Out On Tory’s Behalf

Alright we are on the 90-minute break. Judge Herriford got 70+ letters of support for Tory Lanez, including one from @IggyAzalea. He briefly summarized each one. Two jailers wrote letters, one spoke in court. Lanez’ father, Sonstar Peterson, was the last speaker before the break.

I haven’t seen the letters yet, but most interesting to me was Herriford saying a jailer wrote a letter that says Lanez “is remorseful” and has “talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it.”

It’s the closest we’ve ever come to Lanez saying he did.

Moreover, it was revealed that some prisoners have said that Tory Lanez is showing remorse in prison. He also “talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it.” These are all very interesting revelations that could have a huge implication on his sentence. However, it is clear that Twitter is preoccupied with Iggy Azalea and her letter. “Iggy Azalea is a disgusting person. F*ck her & those other people who rallied behind this nasty man. This is so disgusting,” one person wrote. “They can deport Iggy Azalea’s nasty ass too!” said another.

Twitter Sounds Off

With the sentencing to come down within a couple of hours, it will be interesting to see how this story develops. If one thing is for certain, it’s that this could very well be a massive misstep for Iggy and her career. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below.

Tory Lanez Lawyer Allegedly Accuses Legal Consultant Of Recording Hearing

January 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The last thing Tory Lanez needs is more controversy, but a hiccup in court put his new attorney in the spotlight. Recently, it was shared that Lanez was switching things up by ridding himself of his former legal counsel. As George Mgdesyan exited, David Kenner was added to the roster, among others. Kenner counts Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg as former clients, and he will be representing Lanez in his appeal.

The singer was newly found guilty on three counts related to the 2020 shooting involving Megan Thee Stallion. New hearings regarding Lanez’s sentencing have taken place, and it was also shared he will return to court to learn his fate on February 28.
