In his first interview since being incarcerated, rapper Tory Lanez has spoken publicly from prison, once again maintaining his innocence in the high-profile shooting case involving Megan Thee Stallion.

During the interview, Tory Lanez addressed the events that led to his conviction, insisting that he did not shoot Megan Thee Stallion and that he has been wrongfully imprisoned. He described the legal process as deeply flawed from his perspective, suggesting that critical evidence and testimony were misunderstood or overlooked by the court. While he stopped short of attacking specific individuals, his remarks made clear that he believes the justice system failed him.

Lanez also spoke about the mental and emotional toll of incarceration, describing prison as a place of intense isolation and reflection. He claimed the experience has forced him to confront his past, his career, and the consequences of public perception, regardless of guilt or innocence. Despite his circumstances, he said he remains hopeful that the truth will eventually come to light.

The case, which resulted in Tory Lanez receiving a 10-year prison sentence in 2023, has remained one of the most divisive legal stories in modern hip-hop. Megan Thee Stallion testified that Lanez shot her during an argument following a party in Los Angeles in 2020, a claim supported by medical reports and key testimony presented at trial. A jury ultimately found Lanez guilty on multiple felony counts.

Public reaction to his interview has been sharply divided. Supporters argue that Lanez deserves continued scrutiny of the case and the right to speak his truth, while critics say the interview risks reopening wounds and undermining a verdict reached through due legal process. Online, the conversation has reignited debates around celebrity accountability, gender-based violence, and how fandom influences public perception of criminal cases.

Megan Thee Stallion has not responded to the interview, but she has previously spoken about the emotional trauma of both the shooting and the public backlash she faced afterward. Her statements over the years have emphasized the lasting impact of violence and the difficulty of seeking justice under intense public scrutiny.

While Tory Lanez’s comments may resonate with some fans, legal experts note that his conviction remains in effect, and any changes to his sentence would require a successful appeal or judicial intervention. For now, the case remains closed in the eyes of the court, even as public debate continues.

The interview underscores a broader truth about celebrity trials in the social-media era: verdicts may be final in law, but narratives often continue to evolve in public space long after the courtroom lights have gone dark.
