Drake has once again voiced his support for Tory Lanez and promoted a petition aimed at securing his release from prison. The petition, which the rapper shared via his Instagram Stories, calls on California Governor Gavin Newsom to pardon the Canadian artist — who is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Drake also included a personal message in his post, writing: “@torylanez come home soon.” This isn’t the first time Drake has publicly defended Lanez. Despite Lanez’s conviction for shooting Megan in the foot, Drake has remained firmly in his corner.

In a previous instance last year, Drizzy posted a photo of Lanez with the caption: “3 you.”
He also appeared to address the incident in his 2022 track “Circo Loco,” with the controversial line: “This bitch lie about getting shots, but she still she a stallion/ She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling.”
Megan Thee Stallion responded strongly on social media, saying: “Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass N-ggas! Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot! You n-ggas especially RAP N-GGAS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her.”
She also warned fans not to forget which artists supported Lanez: “And when the mf facts come out remember all y’all hoe ass favorite rappers that stood behind a N-gga that SHOT A FEMALE. People attack me y’all go up for it, I defend myself now I’m doing too much … every time it never ends and this did NOT happen until I came out and said I got shot … y’all don’t fwm okay cool fuck it bye.”
Later, Megan seemed to take aim at Drake on her fiery track “Hiss,” with lyrics such as: “These n-ggas hate on BBLs and be walkin’ around with the same scars/ Real curvy, no edging, n-ggas fight to get in my section/ Don’t speak on my body count if the dick ain’t worth coming back for seconds/ Cosplay gangsters, fake-ass accents/ Posted in another n-gga hood like a bad bitch.”
Meanwhile, Tory Lanez recently endured a violent attack in prison, where he was stabbed 14 times by another inmate. Despite suffering two collapsed lungs, he is expected to recover completely.
