Brampton rapper Tory Lanez trends on Twitter as fans wonder if he's going to jail
Rapper Tory Lanez, a Brampton native, has been in hot water for more than a year now after an incident in which he was said to have shot fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion in the foot (not to mention that time he punched a fan at a home show).
Toronto fans disowned the star last summer after Stallion publicly came out to accuse Lanez of the crime, which took place in July 2020 as the two left a Hollywood Hills party with a group in the latter's vehicle.

Though Lanez put out an album denying the claims, text messages were leaked that showed him apologizing to Stallion for something, saying "I know u prolly never gone talk to me again, but I genuinely want u to know I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart. I was just too drunk," TMZ reported at the time.
The 29-year-old was finally charged by Los Angeles authorities in October for assault with a semiautomatic firearm (along with his previous charge of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle), and faces a hearing for the case tomorrow, Sept. 23.
This could explain him wiping his social media and tweeting "it's been real" late last night.
YESSIRRR YOU GOIN TO JAIL
