It’s over. I cracked the f**king code, man. Not even these prison walls can stop me from putting out new music,” Tory Lanez said in the phone call from prison.
Lanez continued, claiming that God has “already” shown him that his situation is not permanent. “…no matter where they put me, they cannot lock away my spirit, my ambition, my soul, my passion or my destiny,” Tory shared.

Lanez received his sentence in August after a jury found him guilty of three charges in December 2022. His charges included discharging a firearm with gross negligence, assault with a semi-automatic firearm in relation to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
Lanez also reinforced his claim of innocence in August. After the sentencing, he released a statementsaying he has not and will not apologize for his “unjust accusations.”
“In no way, shape or form was I apologizing for the unjust accusations that I am being convicted of,” Lanez said at the time. “I remain in the position that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do.”
As of September 2023, Lanez was serving his sentence at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. Authorities transferred him to the state prison after a judge denied his request for bail, by USA TODAY.
