Tory Lanez has dropped a new video promoting the deluxe edition of his album, Alone at Prom. The video features a claymation figure resembling famed court reporter Meghann Cuniff.
Cunniff was thrust into the spotlight with her coverage of Lanez’s trial in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Her claymation character reports on the fictional ’80s character Ashton Rain.
The video came across Cunniff, who wondered what fans thought: “Hmmm what do you all think? Me or nah?”

Tory Lanez allegedly had a remark for court reporter Meghan Cuniff at his release hearing. Reports stated Lanez looked at the gallery and called Cuniff a “googly eyed bitch.” Cuniff spoke about the report, stating she didn’t hear it herself.
“I didn’t hear it and I’m still working to see if transcript has it, but I’ve confirmed Tory Lanez chose to use his final courtroom moments to profanely insult me, calling me ‘a googly eyed bitch’ as he looked at gallery,” Cuniff wrote. “Conflicting reports on whether he named me. A fitting end.”

A fitting end.

Tory Lanez continues to make waves in the music industry, even from behind bars. The star rapper/singer recently announced the release of a new music video and a deluxe edition of his 2021 album Alone At Prom. ‘The Color Violet’ On Nov. 6, Tory Lanez took to social media to share the official release of […]

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.

On top of this bombshell, a nuke dropped also. In that same Instagram post that you can see above, Tory also unveiled the release date for the deluxe version of the 2021 album. “ALONE AT PROM DELUXE …NOVEMBER 17 
” It will be interesting to see how many more songs get added. “Hurts Me” has a chance to land on it too, especially with the sound of it. Mark your calendars, people, we are almost one week away.
What are your initial thoughts on Tory Lanez dropping the music video for “The Color Violet?” In addition, are you excited about the release of the “Alone At Prom” deluxe? Is this the best song from that project? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Megan Thee Stallion politely requested that her Hotties “stop trying” to guess what her next single, “Cobra,” would sound like because “y’all are not gonna be able to guess.” Within the same post, Meg also shared, “I spilled my guts on this song, I helped produce this song, I’m just so proud of it.” When “Cobra” arrived this morning, November 3, Hotties no longer had to guess about the song’s sonic contents, but now, they’ve shifted into hypothesizing who “Cobra” is about.
In the accompanying “Cobra” video, Megan Thee Stallion emerges from inside of a cobra after saying, “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” Once she’s standing on her own two feet, she shreds everyone who has done her wrong. If you’ve been paying attention over the last three-ish years, that’s a lengthy list.
Disclaimer: We don’t know. We can’t know unless Megan Thee Stallion explicitly says whom “Cobra” is based upon. She’s endured an overwhelming amount of people projecting opinions onto her, especially after Tory Lanez was alleged to have shot her in her feet in July 2020.
That said, it would appear that the majority of “Cobra” finds Meg venting about how she navigated Lanez’s abuse toward her — evidenced by brave and vulnerable bars like “Breakin’ down, and I had the whole world watchin’ / But the worst part is really who watched me / Every night I cried, I almost died / And nobody close tried to stop it” or “Yes, I’m very depressed / How can somebody so blessed wanna slit they wrist?”
For reference, Meg testified during Lanez’s trial, in part, “I can’t even be happy. I can’t hold conversations with people for a long time. I don’t feel like I want to be on this earth. I wish he would have just shot and killed me, if I knew I would have to go through this torture” (as NPR relayed last December).
Lanez was found guilty on three felony counts (assault with a semiautomatic handgun, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence) and is serving a 10-year prison sentence.
Additionally, there’s this: “Damn, I got problems / Never thought a b*tch like me would ever hit rock bottom / Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans / Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’.” People were quick to assume that those bars were reserved for her ex, Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine.
Megan Thee Stallion is excited to be independently releasing “Cobra” (and her presumed forthcoming album — her first since August 2022’s Traumazine) after she and her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, “mutually reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences” (as reported by Billboard). Read Uproxx’s timeline of the lawsuit here.

Even though Tory Lanez has limited contact and resources from behind bars, he can apparently still make a phone call to one of his streaming buddies. Moreover, Adin Ross recently claimed that he received a prison phone call from the Canadian artist on Wednesday (October 11), which was his birthday. Considering that the two go way back, it’s no surprise that they’re still in touch with each other, and it’s at least heartening to see that Lanez has the chance to reach out. However, even though we don’t have any audio or footage of the call, but it would be an odd thing to clout-chase through.
“Thanks bro, it was my birthday,” Adin Ross was telling a friend. “It was my birthday on October 11. Tory Lanez called me in jail and wished me a happy birthday, that was kinda cr*zy. Yeah, it’s kinda cr*zy. He called me and he was like, ‘Yo bro, you think I would forget?’ I was like, ‘Oh, s**t.’ It was *nsane. W Tory, Free Tory, bro, he literally called me on my birthday. That’s *nsane.”

Of course, after streaming together and the content creator defending Tory Lanez amid his shooting case with Megan Thee Stallion, their friendship is understandably tight. Adin Ross also has his own controversies to handle, which make them a pretty criticized duo on the Internet. In addition, he’s gotten a lot of flack from fans online for continuing to blast Megan and defend Tory’s alleged innocence. Even though the court case itself is over and done with, it seems like Ross isn’t ready to live it down.
“I’ma talk on the situation, real quick,” he remarked about commenting on Megan Thee Stallion’s post with a “Free Tory” message. Throughout this statement, he claimed there to be “no evidence” against the rapper. “This is all I’m gonna say: I’m not apologizing for s**t. It’s still free Tory. Free him. He’s innocent. Alright? I don’t care! I’ve been canceled for way worse. This is not even bad, what I’m saying. I hate this s**t, bro.” For more news and updates on Tory Lanez and Adin Ross, stick around on HNHH.

Tory Lanez was recently moved to a new supermax security facility, which is a big move from a local Los Angeles institution to a state prison in California. Moreover, TMZ caught up with former criminal Freeway Rick Ross on Friday (October 13) at the LAX airport, and they asked him if he had any advice for the Canadian artist. Furthermore, Ross had a lot of tips for Lanez regarding not just his future regarding his sentence, but some 101 steps on how to survive incarceration. For those unaware, the “Hurts Me” singer is serving a ten-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion a couple of years ago.
They first tip that Freeway Rick Ross told Tory Lanez is to get someone to be your bodyguard. In addition, he also detailed one of plenty of crafty and important strategies that Suge Knight employed to stay safe and secure from behind bars. Ross served 15 years for his drug lord-related crimes, and his experience makes him feel sorry for the rapper being in a similar state with a lot of nasty people. Still, he said that he wishes him well amid this struggle.

Elsewhere, Freeway Rick Ross also warned Tory Lanez of the many ways in which his immediate circle will change. He no longer has his typical entourage; instead, he will butt heads with gang members, both current and past, and have to be amicable with them and many others. As such, Freeway advised Lanez to steer clear of any criminal organizations in prison, as they would expect him to protect them or prove his worth through violent and confrontational situations. Not only that, but he said that buying inmates TVs is a good way to get on their side.
However, that access to money is something that Ross thinks will be the R&B and rap crooner’s Achilles’ heel. Other inmates will want money from him around the clock, but there are better uses of his money. For example, he suggested that Lanez should hay $300 a month for an inmate bodyguard to watch over him. We’ll see whether he takes any of this advice to hear, even amid false rumors of release.

Earlier this week, Tory Lanez fans were happy to hear rumours of the father of one being released from prison. Not long after the gossip hit the internet, the artist’s dad hopped on Instagram Live. He came with disappointing news, confirming that Lanez is still behind bars. It was previously reported that the “Say It” hitmaker has been mingling with the general population at North Kern State Prison after spending his first weeks there mostly isolated. However, journalist Meghann Cuniff is now disputing that chatter with receipts proving that Lanez has actually been relocated to a newer facility with even higher security measures.
“Just FYI because people are asking, this isn’t true,” the crime report clarified on Friday (October 13) morning in response to a @DailyLoud tweet about the embattled star. “Tory Lanez was moved to the California Correctional Institute,” Cuniff continued. “[It’s] a state supermax prison that is not North Kern State Prison. Reports that Lanez was moved to general population at North Kern are false.”

Shortly after that, Cuniff shared a screenshot confirming that Lanez “is being housed at CCI” from a CDCR employee. “[CCI] is in Tehachapi, about 85 miles southeast of Kern,” she noted for curious followers. “It’s designated as a supermax prison, so ‘general population’ there is not quite the same as general population elsewhere.” Last month, the Toronto native’s legal team suggested that he aspires to have a “normal” experience while serving his sentence, hence the desire to mingle with other inmates. Due to his new home’s strict rules, though, it doesn’t seem like he’ll be making too many close friends.
Prior to today’s Tory Lanez update, it was revealed that the Canadian remains persistent as ever in fighting for bail. Despite being rejected by a judge last month, his legal team resubmitted an application with “nearly identical” arguments to those that kept him behind bars in the past. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

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.

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.”

“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.
