Tory Lanez Bail Application Resubmitted With “Nearly Identical” Arguments To Those Previously Rejected

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Try as he might to make life in prison look easy, it’s clear that Tory Lanez has one thing on his mind – freedom. Since he was first arrested in late 2022, the Canadian has been fighting to reduce (or entirely avoid) his prison sentence with little luck. Back in September, he was denied bail by a judge, though that’s not stopping him from making yet another attempt. Crime journalist Meghann Cuniff shared the news via Twitter on Tuesday (October 10). She noted that Lanez’s most recent filing isn’t all that different from one that was previously rejected.

“The arguments are nearly identical to the motion Judge Herriford rejected a the Sept. 14 hearing in LA (the one where Lanez called me a googly-eyed b**ch), including the forgoing of any mention of the rehab pushed at sentencing,” the reporter wrote this morning. Rather than seeking traditional treatment for substance abuse, the father of one “wants to rent a home in Los Angeles from a friend who rents ‘ex*tic’ homes and cars.” The letter included in the motion isn’t specifically about the bail request – rather, it’s a character reference from Tory’s sentencing that took place in August.

Tory Lanez Remains Persistent in His Fight for Bail

Here’s the full request. The arguments are nearly identical to the motion Judge Herriford rejected at the Sept. 14 hearing in LA (the one where Lanez called me a googly eyed bitch), including the forgoing of any mention of the rehab pushed at sentencing. https://t.co/2ekzZoh4sf.

According to Cuniff, the “Say It” hitmaker’s legal team may be confused. Despite their belief that it would only take “a day or two” to have a hearing scheduled in the appellate court, she thinks the process will be much longer. “I don’t know what that’s based on, but it’s totally false. The appellate court does not hold hearings. There won’t be a hearing on this.”

“Technically, Lanez’s filing should be called a writ petition,” Cuniff went on in another tweet. “It’ll be decided based on the filing like all writ petitions are. (Such as Lanez’s failed appellate writ petition seeking to disqualify Judge Herriford. The appellate court does not hold bail hearings.”

Meghann Cuniff Provides More Updates on the Case

“Appellate court does hear oral argument, and Tory will eventually have oral argument over his yet-to-be-filed appellate brief,” Cuniff further clarified. “But the court does not hold hearings on writ petitions, which is what Lanez’s appeal of his bail motion is. The court will reject it with a line entry.” Do you think that Tory Lanez will ever achieve his objective of securing bail? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

I heard someone from Lanez’s team say, “It won’t take but a day or two for them to give it a date for a hearing.” Meaning the appellate court.

I don’t know what that’s based on, but it’s totally false. The appellate court does not hold hearings. There won’t be a hearing on this.

After a lot of buzz and recent notoriety, YUME’s highly-awaited single with Tory Lanez is now available on all streaming platforms.

After that, in 2021, she linked with Drake and Kid Cudi for a highly touted track off of Certified Lover Boy. “IMY2,” crept up to number 19 on the Billboard Chart. Finally, one more feather in YUME’s cap is with NLE Choppa. His track “Jumpin,” found its way to 40 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Chart.

Tory Lanez may be behind bars, but that isn’t stopping him from keeping his fans updated on his current situation. The “Color Violent” rapper shared a recorded message to his fans from prison in which he discussed his improved conditions as well as upcoming releases.

A post, which featured an old school cordless phone with the name “Tory” on it was shared to the rapper’s Instagram account along with the caption “Message To The Umbrellas #AloneAtPromDeluxe #FreeTory.” The audio transcript is as follows:

Hey yo, Umbrellas, man was good…I’m talking to you live from prison right now man…I’m just happy to get out that bulls*** county jail. They was hating on a young fly n**** you heard? Had me on 24 hour lockdown, half size cell by myself. No windows, no mirrors, n**** ain’t even seen himself in a whole year, yo. But with all them disadvantages against me, my head has always been held high, man. And I want you all to know I’m in great spirits. My drive and my ambition is growing stronger and stronger every day. And I’m so proud of how y’all been moving in my support. Man, I know this feels like a scary time, but don’t be afraid, man. This sh** don’t spark no fear in my heart at all. In fact, I’m more prepared than ever. The music, the videos, and all the projects you wanted- they all ready to drop. So let’s just start with the one we want the most, Alone at Prom Deluxe.

Alone at Prom Deluxe is the rumored follow up to the artist’s 2021 release, Alone at Prom. In a now-deleted tweet, Lanez originally had said in the summer of 2022 that he would release the album at an unspecified later date, tweeting: “Alone at prom deluxe will drop after my case is over and I can receive the proper PLAY-LISTING and support … the music did over 160 MILLION STREAMS .. with no support .. I don’t want the album getting overlooked twice . It’s too good.”

Lanez, (real name Daystar Peterson), 31, was recently transferred to Administrative Segregation at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA on September 19. Lanez was convicted on Dec. 23, 2022 for shooting and injuring Megan Thee Stallion in 2020 and received a 10 year sentence without the possibility of parole.

Tory Lanez Update: General Population & Special Programs Reportedly Of Interest To Rapper

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This weekend reports alleged Tory Lanez is fearing for his life since relocating to North Kern State Prison. In his latest mugshot, the embattled artist looked far less put together than normal. His hair appears to be lifting, and his skin missing its usual glow. Since being transferred, Lanez has been kept away from other inmates due to his celebrity status. This means he receives frequent guard check-ups and escorts to and from his meals. According to TMZ, the Chix Tapes hitmaker wants to be treated like any other inmate.

Attorney Ceasar McDowell tells the outlet that his client surprisingly wants to be kept in general population. In fact, he’s actually confident about his chances for fitting in with fellow prisoners. “We’re told [Lanez] has absolutely no apprehension about his safety… As McDowell explains, [he] thinks he can handle himself,” the outlet explains. Thankfully, the Toronto native has people in his life who briefed him on prison life before his sentence began. Additionally, his natural confidence will surely help on some level.

Tory Lanez’s Lawyer Gives an Update on His Client’s Life in Prison

Apart from human interaction, the performer’s lawyer also shared that Lanez is seeking to speed up his rehabilitation process by engaging in programs and utilizing resources that are more easily accessible to those in gen pop. As far as fear goes, the one thing that the “Say It” hitmaker worries about is reportedly losing contact with his loved ones. At LA County Jail he was able to make phone calls whenever he pleased. For the next 30 days, however, he’s being held at the “reception center.” Here, he can only receive calls from his legal team.

After that period of time elapses, the entertainer will have inmate orientation, where we’ll find out what his future plans for housing are. Both Tory Lanez’s fans and haters are curious to know more about what life in prison has been like for him so far. Should he be granted a spot in general population, the father of one will be putting himself at risk to some seriously gruesome potentials. Read more about things that have unfolded at the R&B star’s new home in the past, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tory Lanez’s New Mug Shot Photo Is Here As He Gets Transferred To State Prison And Starts His 10-Year Sentence

September 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nine months after being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion and six weeks after being sentenced to 10 years in prison for said crime, Tory Lanez has been transferred to state prison to begin his sentence. TMZ posted a new mugshot of the Canadian rapper which sees him looking pretty unkempt and less-than-pleased with the situation.

In 2020, Lanez was accused by Megan Thee Stallion of shooting her the backs of her feet after a dispute following a party in the Hollywood Hills. Although Lanez maintained his innocence, he also failed to put forth an alternative theory, hinting but never outright accusing that Megan was shot by her friend Kelsey Harris in an argument after both romantically pursued him.

Unfortunately for Lanez, his defense’s inability to present any compelling explanation for Megan’s injuries left a jury no choice but to find him guilty of the assault. In fact, one of his defense teams star witnesses basically confirmed that it was Lanez who did the shooting despite ostensibly being coached ahead of time.

While Tory’s team bid hard for a new trial, their requests were denied. Later, they requested a lenient sentence for the rapper, but ultimately, the judge decided that his actions during ahead of the trial warranted a stiffer penalty.
