Tory Lanez Criticized for Using Megan Shooting to Promote New Project
Written by SOURCE on September 25, 2020
On Thursday night, Tory Lanez decided to break his silence following the July 12 Megan The Stallion shooting incident.
After taking to social media to say he had “time today,” many thought that Tory would head to IG Live to possibly apologize to Megan or tell his side of the story. Instead he dropped a full-length project.
To my fans … I’m sorry for my silence …. but respectfully .. I got time today …… 9 PM PST .

Daystar, a 17-track self-titled tape, sees Tory addresses the incident in which he was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, multiple times throughout the project. Megan was shot two times in her feet on the same night. After much speculation about who pulled the trigger, Megan took to IG and alleged that it was Tory who shot her. “Yes, this n**ga Tory shot me. You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people to these blogs lying and shitt, stop lying!”
FUCK Tory Lanez bro. I pray that Megan’s mental health is okay. She’s been through so much. pic.twitter.com/8Uy5hvxYPZ

Although the LAPD is investigating what went down, Tory has yet to be charged in the shooting.
The release of Daystar was met with swift backlash online with many slamming the Canadian rapper for using Megan’s shooting to promote new music and others calling for people not to stream the project.
