#ToryLanez #megantheestallion #shooting
Good! Wrong is wrong. Women need to start speaking up without fear.
His Career is Over and If We Don’t Protect our Women who Will
I know people that did 10years for murder
Up to 22years for a toe clipping?
Agree with two of the 3 charges, assault with weapon wasn’t proven .
Meg SUCKS!!
How do you know? Were you peeking through her windows when she was with someone else?
A lot of people believed the narrative of meg which is funny as crap. Believe women even when the evidence and testimony doesn’t make sense. The fact that they really just sweep the fact that Meg and Kelsey was fighting, the witness saying he saw flashes of the gun from a woman. Yeah it was a roc nation call. They corrupted everything and they going to get away with it. The jurors didn’t have common Sense.. Y’all act like females really don’t be fighting each other over men when they actually do.
This is so sad. He had a gag order put on him. And she got paid for 2 years showing and doing interviews wolrd wide and you think he had a fair shot? He was guilty by public opinion of him. Not fair at all. They all changed their story many times. He didn’t. This is so wrong on many levels. Hurting people is wrong. But being played by the system like he did is demonic. There was and is no freedom of speech for him. This is wrong.
Why is this big news it wasn’t when it happened why now 🤦🏽♂️
Even if Lanez is guilty nobody can protest for sentencing reform after being satisfied with a 20+ year sentence for allegedly shooting someone in the foot. Also the Jury made a rush decision because they wanted to get out before Christmas. It was a scheme that Meg paid & counted on.
Boycott Megan music
Y’ALL BETTER NOT DO A SONG WITH HER. LOL
This is a PSA for Black women…do not involve yourself with men that have a problematic history. There is that old statement if you play with dirt it will get in your eye…
Good, it’ll hopefully teach him to not point guns at people. This isn’t the first time either, he’s pulled a gun on others before, like Dax. He needs his gun rights taken away before he actually kills someone. Can’t have people like him brandishing firearms like they’re toys.
I can’t believe how much power and influence the devil has over this world and the people in it
I know it’s crazy how he got drunk & shot her like that🤡
i know Allah is very much around working to cause problems 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 if gods exist so does santa and the easter bunny, GTFO with this crap, keep religion to yourself before its a law as its needed
god and the devil aren’t real
@AuraHolyUltima BabyBABY lo l yea cuz it wasnt 2 women drunk fighting & a womans dna wasnt found on gun ..bozo
We need to protect black women in the community man that’s not right but they did the right job by finding him guilty
RAPPERS UNDER “CONTROL” the “eye”
METH IS A GOOD DRUG AIN’T IT go smoke another hit there as you have lost another cell
Lying a$$ cluck broads
Tory leave da queen alone.. 👑 ..she beautiful .. he’s lost da plot.. I’d throw roses at her 🌹 not bullets …love her from 🇬🇧
*”I know that’s right”*
Now i wish it was a beadshot
Wtf
He would’ve snitched on the real person if he didn’t do it by now. He ain’t that gangsta to go to jail n lose money for nobody
Megan
And this too
Shall pass.
GOOD. Glad he is going to prison. This dude has pulled up and ran up on other rappers and people as well threatened them, drew guns on them and other violent offenses. Not to long ago he pulled up with a SUV full of people on Dax another canadian rapper.
Glad he is going to prison, this guy belongs in prison.
Rapper, singer AND songwriter. Ijs
How you get 22 years for a foot shot
We don’t know if that’s what he’ll serve. He can fake good behavior and get out early.
@MrJuvefrank it won’t be fake most are not tough when guns ain’t around
Poorly raised wildlife. Gross
Ho ho ho
The lack of intelligence in this comment section is concerning. If you know anything about law or the justice system we have in America you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the a person committed the acts they are charged with. The fact that he was guilty on all three counts is just insane. The inconsistences of everyone story’s and the lack of testimonies raises so many doubts. Meg lied about sleeping with Troy she lied about stepping on glass and she lied about not getting into an altercation with Kelsey. Meg has been caught lying so many times and Kelsey also lied so many times and backed out of testifying. Most of the witness were drunk as well. To convicted him on one count is hard to do but all 3 is just a joke. The amount of doubt in this case is so high. A world where O.J. goes free and Tory is convicted is crazy.
This.
Facts are facts. 1) it was Tory’s vehicle. 2) the officers pulled Tory’s vehicle over 3) A weapon was found originating in Tory’s vehicle. So let’s take the fact that Megan was shot out of this. He still will be charged for having an illegal weapon in an illegal state (loaded) , transported illegally in HIS vehicle. That 1 charge is a felony. It is punishable by a minimum of $1000 fine and 1 year in prison up to…. 20 years in prison….for that 1 charge. People are literally missing this 1 major and important point. If you say, “well we don’t know if that’s Tory’s weapon”… The only way Tory gets off on this 1 charge is if one of the 2 woman admit that the weapon is theirs. Do you think that’s gonna happen? Again. Take the discharge of the fire arm out of it. He still transported an illegal fire arm. That alone was stupid on his part, especially in California, as a non citizen. I’m just tired of people defending stupidly.
Very insightful. I was surprised by the number of years he got, I never considered the illegal transportation part, and you explained it perfectly
@Veronica B thanks sis. It just seems we are in such a rush to stick up for our culture, we fail to realize that the reasons these behaviors and outcomes stay the same, is because we defend the wrong ish. Just my 20 cents, 😁
Thank you
Railroad at it’s finest wow
Free Tory 💯⭐🎶
He should get the maximum sentence. It’s time to send a message that gun violence is unacceptable. He already has a history of violence against people. Time to send a message to the rap community to stop this nonsense or be held accountable for your reckless actions.
I totally agree.
But it already came out she stepped on glass. The doctors even said that she stepped on glass and they didn’t mention that in court whatsoever to add on that her friend even said she wasn’t going to blame TorY if you don’t understand Tory situation in this lmao you’re a clown to see that he didn’t deserve this at all
@Kid Dalmatian GaWd No, you need to read the CHARGES he was guilty of. Stop fanboying over a man that has VIOLENT tendencies. It is ENOUGH and time to hold reckless behavior ACCOUNTABLE. No more lenient punishments for predators.
@Kid Dalmatian GaWd the doctor said she was shot.. go back to bed
@Kid Dalmatian GaWd the doctor report literally says they found 3 large bullet fragments in both of Megan’s feet.. and the smaller fragments couldn’t get taken out.
Good he deserves prison
He must be a terrible shot. Lmao 🤣
Most Rappers are scum gangbangers.
Lock him up.
Megan, stay away from these bad boys.
You can find a Gentlemen.
Good 👈
So is his Youtube channel going to be banned like Trump or Alex Jones?
Maybe if he didn’t fall asleep court, his image would’ve looked better.
That midget deserves what he’s going to get.
Maybe she lied bcuz she was scared for her life. Has anyone ever thought about that? He’s not going to prison forever and judging the father’s reaction she is not safe
This is an embarrassment to our community and the sad part about it is we have to be scared of our own people hurting or killing us over foolishness; not to mention we already have to deal with police brutality and racism.🙁… This ignorance never stops. We must do better as a people and stay away from the ignorant thuggish fools that don’t represent our community.
This all feels staged. Faked. Like a distraction from something bigger. Have a gut feeling. And as consumers we are believing these fake stories and eating them up. No one will inner-stand me.
Wicked system? More like your wicked son who threw his life away 🤷🏻♀️ sorry guy, should’ve raised him better
Yup
“he shot off my pinky toe”
Another innocent black man in jail. Let’s see how her career turns out. She is a liar and that’s a fact. Black men stay away from women like this they can ruin your life
And horses
Eiire😅ei😅fieme
This is what happens when yall worship ghetto rappers. They still trash with just more money.
Toto we ain’t in Canada
Why is this so big fuckem
NOBODY CARES
Ha-ha
Play stupid game win stupid prize.
Neopleon complex
Neoplean ice cream
, yes finally justice can move forward, he shouldn’t have holding a loaded gun in the vehicle, in the first place, regardless if was intentional or not intentionally done , lesson is learned loaded guns is for law enforcement officers only and military personnel
You need a gun for horses
Y’all people in the comments such sheeple. This candian bro was set up. The industry used this raggedy bih to set him up. A few yrs ago he exposed the industry n I think roc nation deal and they black balled him now look. Evil at hand people.
they be ill’in
@Seventhcompactor word up….
When you run with dogs, you you pick up fleas.(in this case a bullet)
Rap culture is a disease on our young men and women. Keep pretending you’re gangsters you idiots.
young men and women, and horses
I mean he shot her , police found her with a gunshot wound to her foot . He was found with a gun . To say she was lying was BS to begin with .
He shot a horse. Big deal
Possession is one thing. Shooting someone is another. There’s no proof he’s the one that shot her.
The worst part all these black women and men we’re against her , saying she was lying and putting her down. Bet now they talking differently . Drake looking like a 🤡 now also .
it’s not clear we’re discussing a woman here.
It identifies as a horse
Nope. I still think she’s lying. I’d bet money that the friend fired the shot.
I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice.
what is a “Megan the stallion”???????
A kids toy 🧸
Horse twerker
Another black on black crime….. Boring 😴
do you guys not get it? they found him guilty so they can get his money, they know big man is rich so id be surprised if he gets 1 year
Tory Lanes is such a wreck! I don’t know why people disagree with the verdict
See Amber… You’re guilty of defamation verdict didn’t deter female victims from coming forward..turns out all the jury needed was EVIDENCE. GOOD FOR YOU MEG!!!
Something is not right. She won her trial in another country. Both Depp and Heard were throwing curses on each other. “I do that to command the spirits.”-Depp
No one questioned him about spirits. ‘The Ninth Gate’, “actor”, just shouted the statement in court
Is the Ninth Gate a documentary of some sort?
The law should start pounding on all these blk artists that think they r above the law. Just cause they got $!! 😬
Germatria 🤟🏽
Tory Lanez is a sucka. Peace out sucka ✌️
Praying for you… For you to get the 20 out of 14 to 20 🤞🤞🤞👉👌👉👌🖕🤣🤣🤣
I feel sorry for black women. Treated like dirt by their own men.
But this one is a horse, not a woman
I had to make a clip on this 🫣🫣smdh
He shot a horse. Why is this a big deal ?
Tory Is Innocent Free Tory Everything Will Truly Come To Light, Jay Z Is A Wicked Man. Don’t Want His Money Maker To Be Locked Up
Broooo I’ve heard this like 1000000000 times…and STILL sounds like a joke..🤨🤨
That boy got 20 in the pen
You shooting semi automatic guns at women because they clowned your music career, bruh? Get Lanez tf up outta here!
She didn’t get shot stop it… do they know the difference between shot in the foot and fragments hitting in the foot
https://youtube.com/@gtownogloc2340
Mean while…. Jesus is coming.
Music I remind everyone unless your JayZ, Young Jeezy or Master P u don’t count
Nobody knows his music…wtf is a Canadian rapper no watts in Canada dry
Tory Lane is an adult actress and HOLY F*** batman she’s amazing. He stole a female pornstars name what a weird creature
💯💯💯 liar he shoukd end his career
Her music is gonna flop
Roc nation got meek out Roc nation got Tory in
Ku klux Keisha’s got another one
Just to start her name is stalion
1:40 that lil guy is going to prison? Oh my 🤯
Key witness which was 3rd party which was the best friend recanted her statement…
Are you sure that’s him on the thumbnail???
Dam…….another man down.
Cases like this remind me of why I stay completely away from and ignore black men and only associate with healthy minded black women.
If he supposedly shot multiple times he should’ve hit someone multiple times wasn’t a entire bullet but bullet fragments gun residue enclosed space Kelsey texts bodyguard 5 mins after the shooting makes statement then completely change her story Megan is the victim and also still a suspect because the amount of lying coming from the both of them is wild but that’s how trial is it’s either make a case for the innocent guilty the guilty guilty or from the da vice versa but like what they always say whatever’s in the dark will come to the light I’m not picking any sides but if y’all don’t see anything unjust or wrong with this entire case you are part of the problem in the world
He should have raised his son better to respect women
