    Tory Lanez's New Album 'Playboy' Comes 'From a Place of Hurt and Vulnerability'

    by

    Dubbed an RnB capsule, the newly-released project, which features a Chris Brown-assisted track, captures the Canadian artist’s ’emotions caused by a breakup that left him vulnerable.’

    Mar 5, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez shows his vulnerable side in his new album “Playboy”. Dubbed an R&B capsule, the seventh studio album from the Canadian artist just dropped on midnight Friday, March 5 and he describes the creative process behind the project in a press release.
    “Emotionally, I was able to flow creatively. Some of my best creations come out when I’m vulnerable,” he explains. “This is me being as honest as I can be on a record. For the first time in a long time, I was writing R&B from a place of hurt and vulnerability, Unlike a lot of my other R&B which is based on the pure vibe and catchy melodies.”
    Lanez additionally reveals his objective with the album, “I want my listeners to walk away with an understanding of how my emotions are and I want them to understand that this is an honest depiction of how I feel about relationships and people that are close to me.”
    Off the twelve tracks in the album, “Deceiving Eve” is perhaps the best to convey Lanez’s emotions as it is the song he felt the most vulnerable of the project. The album also also features “Feels” as the lead track. Featuring R&B crooner Chris Brown, the song is described as a seductive ballad that showcases the two singers rhapsodizing over bedroom antics.
    Breezy also appears in the music video directed by Christian Breslauer, which was released on February 20. On working with Brown, Lanez says, “Me and my Bro are not playing. This song is kicking off my new capsule ‘PLAYBOY’. This is one of my favorite bangers to date. It’s R&B season.”

    Ahead of the “Playboy” release, Lanez debuted three unreleased tracks as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through a collaboration with leading blockchain company Bondly.Finance. This unorthodox approach pairs rare digital art with music where fan’s and NFT collectors are able to prove ownership of these items through the blockchain.
    By taking this approach, Lanez becomes the highest streamed, independent artist to release full songs as NFT’s prior to the album’s release on other digital platforms. “This album is one of the biggest releases of my career, so I had to make the release strategy bigger than ever,” says Lanez. “This meant getting the tracks to my superfans early before the album hits on Friday. So I’m dropping my first NFT, allowing 450 fans to get 3 unreleased tracks from my discography and a chance to meet and hang out with me digitally.”
    The three songs include two from his upcoming album “Playboy” and one from his yet to be announced 80’s themed album.
    “Playboy” is available for stream and download here.

      Feb 12, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Yung Bleu wasn’t thrilled over Tory Lanez uploading a remix to his track “You’re Mines Still” featuring Drake. In addition to blocking Tory’s remix on YouTube, Bleu publicly called out the Canadian rapper for not tagging him on his own version of the remix.

So, go get ya money back, go get ya refund, go get a receipt. You didn’t tag me, you didn’t show love. That s**t comin’ down.”

Tagging Blue, Tory penned, “… crazy thing is … I love your music and your song , that’s why I remixed it .. your an incredible artist .. and I’ve been listening to yu since ‘Unappreciated’ .. but if you feel some sorta way, we can just talk like men over a phone and not social media .Love bro.”

      Megan Thee Stallion Fires Back at Tory Lanez in New Diss Track 'Shots Fired'

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Savage’ hitmaker slams the Canadian star while taking a dig at his height and responding to the critics who called her a snitch following the shooting drama.

      Nov 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion has taken aim at her alleged shooter Tory Lanez in a new diss track titled “Shots Fired”.
      The “WAP” star accused Lanez of shooting her following a dispute as they left a party in the Hollywood Hills over the summer (20), following which a restraining order was filed to prevent Lanez from going near Megan.
      Now, just days after claiming Lanez had tried to buy her silence following the shooting, Megan has once again slammed the rapper in a brand new track from her debut album.
      While she doesn’t refer to Lanez by name in the song, Megan does make several references to his 5’3″ height, and also takes on his defence that he couldn’t have shot the “Hot Girl Summer” star without damaging any of her bones or tendons.
      “You shot a 5’10” b**ch with a .22,” she raps. “Talkin’ ’bout bones and tendons like them bullets weren’t pellets.”

      Later, she continues, “Who a snitch? I ain’t never went to the police with no names.”

      Megan told GQ Magazine that she was so scared following the shooting, which occurred at the height of the controversy surrounding police brutality towards people of colour, that she said she had cut her foot rather than revealing that Lanez was carrying a weapon.
      She had to undergo surgery on her feet after the shooting while Lanez has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and one count of carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
      Lanez’s next court hearing is set to take place on 20 January.

      Tory Lanez Accused of Capitalizing on Meghan Thee Stallion Shooting to Promote New Album

      by

      Instagram

      The Canadian rapper is facing backlash for promoting his new studio album instead of explaining himself in the shooting drama that left the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ star injured.
      Sep 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez was accused of “capitalising” on his shooting of Megan Thee Stallion after using the incident to promote his new album.
      Megan had to undergo surgery after suffering gunshot wounds to her feet in July (20) following a clash with Lanez after attending a party in the Hollywood Hills.
      An investigation into the incident, which Megan publicly blamed Lanez for in an Instagram Live session, is ongoing, but the rapper hadn’t spoken publicly about the shooting until he tweeted on Thursday (24Sep20), writing, “To my fans … I’m sorry for my silence …. but respectfully .. I got time today …… 9 PM PST.”

      While fans speculated that Tory would finally tell his side of the story, midnight came and saw the 28-year-old share a picture of his new album cover, writing alongside it, “There is a time to stay silent . And a time to speak ….. I said all I could say on this … ALL PLATFORMS … in 5 MINUTES …..”
      Despite suggesting he’d address the situation through his music, the lack of a public apology to Megan didn’t go down too well with social media users, with one writing on Instagram, “He capitalising on the situation by releasing a song … makes me sick.”
      “You’re finished bro. Capitalising for streams you gotta be apologetic this ain’t it,” another commented, while a third wrote, “I didnt set my alarm clock to listen to no song tory.”
      While another tweeted, “Tory going on live the day after the Breonna Taylor verdict to defend shooting a black woman is PEAK tone def.”

      Tory Lanez Slams Kehlani and JoJo for Removing Him from Their Songs on 'Bittersweet'

      by

      Instagram

      The Canadian rapper uses one of the songs off ‘DAYSTAR’ to throw a shade at his fellow musicians who drop him off their projects amid the shooting scandal involving Megan Thee Stallion.
      Sep 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez has released a new album “DAYSTAR” in which he addressed controversies surrounding him after he was accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Additionally, the Canadian rapper uses one of his songs off the album to throw a shade at his fellow musicians who dropped him off their projects amid the scandal.
      Slamming Kehlani and JoJo on “Bittersweet”, Tory raps, “And these R&B singer women you called, all your friends choose/ Kehlani hops on the news like it was somethin’ to prove/ Like me and her wasn’t cool when I been friends with you for six years.” He continues, “Plus, plus the crew and we can Google picture proof/ Got my phone number too, you coulda called me/ But you movin’ like we ain’t even crew, and you’d not rather hear my views?”
      Tory also mentions that he held her newborn in his arms, before spitting bars, “But KK, back to you, let me tell you who’s/ How to move, this is what you do/ If you wanna take that stance, then that’s cool/ But we gon’ do this with some rules.”
      Later on the song, he raps, “Ayy, JoJo, I need you to take notes too/ Don’t take me off the deluxe album that no one gives a f**k about/ Take me off the original too.” Flexing, he adds, ” ‘Cause when I’m scrollin’ through this Spotify playlist/See me my name both in y’all top five pages/ It just feels a little unsincere, hmm?/ Or maybe I refuse, am I trippin’ and confused?/ Y’all could have took me off the album but have still have yet to do?”

        See also…

      Kehlani previously announced that she decided to leave Tory’s verse out from her song “Can I” in her upcoming deluxe version of “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t” amid chatters about him assaulting Megan. “As someone with a large platform, as someone that people look up to, as a woman that makes other women feel safe and empowered, people were asking me, ‘Are you gonna keep somebody on it who doesn’t necessarily make us feel safe or empowered as a woman?’ ” she explained.
      “And not only that but, you know, this situation was involving someone that I [am] extremely close to, so I just felt like on some loyal s**t, and on some do the right thing, you have to be responsible. Absolutely I’m changing up the record,” she added. Kehlani continued, “It was business and it was also loyalty to a situation. This is not an industry friendship. That’s really my friend and someone I say I love you to.”
      JoJo followed the suit as she revealed in August that she would remove Tory from her song “Comeback” off her album “Good to Know” which was released on August 28. It has 16 tracks including collaborations with Demi Lovato and Tinashe.

      Instagram

      Masika Kalysha, J. R. Smith and Chance the Rapper are also among the celebrities who the Canadian hip-hop star disses on ‘Sorry But I Had To…’, while he gushes over Kylie Jenner.
      Sep 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tory Lanez successfully made headlines following the Thursday, September 25 release of his new album “Daystar”. Besides addressing the infamous shooting scandal surrounding him and Megan Thee Stallion, the Canadian rapper also took a jab at several other celebrities that included DreamDoll, who was having none of it.
      Mocking DreamDoll’s music career, Tory rapped on “Sorry But I Had To…,” “Gimme one Dream Doll hit record (Mm), I’ll wait/ Ain’t no secret, it’s your chance, you in every Twitter debate/ And every Shade Room comment like common sense/ Like we be needin’ your two cents and all your vents.”

      Considering how the album quickly sparked buzz among social media users, it was natural that DreamDoll caught wind of what Tory said about her on the song. She was quick to hit back, sharing in a since-deleted post several screenshots of Tory’s text messages that found him gushing over her. However, judging by the screenshots, the female emcee never gave him a response.
      DreamDoll blasted Tory in the caption of the post, “You been a dub! Since you came for me the first time.” She added, “Sadly you could try n diss me again this time for not having a hit but yet my biggest record was exposing your corny a** til dis day. Always coming for females but Keep digging your hole Daystar Peterson you f***ing lame !!!! Man up and go on Live p***yyyyyy. You know the vibes SMDDDD! Bigen Head.”

      Besides DreamDoll, Tory also dissed the likes of Masika Kalysha and J.R. Smith on the said song while gushing over Kylie Jenner. “Unapologetically, jumped inside a pool and Kylie’s face was lookin’ heavenly,” he rhymed on the song, before calling Chance the Rapper “irrelevant” and adding, “I replaced his line with, ‘My chain lookin’ Heaven-sent.’ ”

      The “Savage” hitmaker had to undergo surgery after suffering gunshot wounds to her feet in July, following a clash with Lanez after attending a party in the Hollywood Hills.

      “Tic tac toe, I’m gonna X this b***h/ If a hit dog holler, I address that s**t,” she spits. “Got shot two times and I ate that s**t/ Bounced right back with a Revlon deal.”

      The “WAP” star proved she was on the road to recovery on Saturday as she staged her first virtual concert for Live Nation, taking the opportunity to make a statement about racial injustice and police brutality during her show.

      Kehlani's 'Can I' Music Video Will Not Feature Tory Lanez

      by

      Instagram

      Taking to her Twitter account, the ‘Gangsta’ singer announces that the music video for her single ‘Can I’, which features the Canadian rapper, will be released tomorrow, but with a twist.
      Jul 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Kehlani is making a measurement in the wake of drama surrounding Tory Lanez. The “Good Thing” singer took to her Twitter account to announce that the music video for her single “Can I”, which features the Canadian rapper, would be released tomorrow, but with a twist.
      “CAN I. tomorrow 10 am pst. #HoneyShotProductuons #ItWasGoodUntilItWasnt,” so she said on Wednesday, July 29. In a separate tweet, she revealed that Tory wouldn’t appear in the clip for the song off her “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t” album.
      “Full transparency cuz i believe in that with my following, his verse is still on the song, the video is solo. new verse on the deluxe,” the “Gangsta” singer added explained without dropping any names. “The album came out months ago i can’t remove it , doesn’t work like that. can only move forward.”

      Tory was initially arrested and charged for possession of a firearm after he was pulled over by police on that fateful day. He is currently under investigation as police believe he pulled the trigger and injured his rumored girlfriend and fellow hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. He remains mum on the allegations.
      Meanwhile, on Monday, July 27, Megan got emotional on Instagram Live as she revealed that she got shot in both feet in the July 12, shooting incident. “I had to get surgery. It was super scary. It was just the worst experience of my life and it’s not funny,” she admitted, slamming people who made a joke about her shooting.
      The “Savage” hitmaker was relieved because the bullets “didn’t touch the bones. They didn’t break tendons,” adding, “I know my mama and daddy, my granny had to be looking out for me with that one because where the bullets hit at, it missed everything, but the motherf***er was in there.”

      by

      It starts after the Canadian rapper weighs in on Akon’s collaboration with 6ix9ine, prompting Spectacular to suggest him to just ‘steal’ the record like he allegedly did before with other tracks.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The collaboration between Akon and 6ix9ine (Tekashi69) has led to some beefs. In addition to tension between Tory Lanez and Akon, the former is also having some back-and-forth online with Pretty Ricky’s Spectacular.
      It started after Tory wrote on his Twitter account on Sunday, June 7, “So what y’all telling me is …. Akon gave the #LockedUpRemix / SAMPLE to someone else !?!?? And not me?!????” That was when Spectacular suggested him to just “steal” the record like he allegedly did before with other tracks.
      “you should just stole it like you did Grind On Me and Your Body. Why stop now ….. Just keeping it 2 Virgils,” Spectacular alleged, to which Tory responded, “STOLE WHAT ??!? Actually I BOUGHT the rights from whoever signed u and publishes your music.”
      The Canadian rapper continued, “But I guess you weren’t apart of that conversation. go stare in someone eyes and rub on someone thighs and leave me outta this one…. goodnight my black brother.”
      In response to that, Spectacular wrote, “Ever since you got that new hairline, you been acting different. Stop with the [cap],” He went on saying, “Last time I checked, I owned my own masters. What type of bootleg business you running. You acting like Virgil not keeping it 2 Virgils.”

      Fans, however, appeared to side with Tory in this one. “If he stole it, go to court. We out here fighting for civil rights. we can’t help you sir!!!!!!!” one fan commented. “I just wanna say that Tory Lanez version is better anyway,” another one added.
