DrakeĀ has publicly called for Tory Lanez‘s freedom after he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in both feet in 2020.
Lanez was found guilty in December 2022Ā of three felonies related toĀ the shooting and began serving his 10-year sentence the following August. However, it was reported that he may be able to have his sentence reduced to nine years due to time he had already spent in prison and under house arrest.
Following his sentence, the artist shared a statement in which he claimed his innocence. āI have never let a hard time intimidate me. I will never let no jail time eliminate me. Regardless of how they try to spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will.ā
Now, Drake has since shared a photo of Lanez to his Instagram story with the caption “3 you” but hasn’t elaborated further on his comments.

Meanwhile, Stallion hit out at “haters” suggesting she had been lying about the attack on stage in her first public appearance since the sentencing.
āI just wanna say, fuck all my haters,ā she told the crowd at Golden Gate Park. āNone of that shit you was doing or saying broke me. None of that shit yāall be doing or saying to the Hotties [her fans] broke them.
āAnd I want all of the Hotties to put their motherfucking middle fingers up right now.ā
She wasn’t present when Lanez was sentenced but she submitted a court statement that read (viaĀ Associated Press): āSince I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace. Slowly but surely, Iām healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.ā
The āWAPā star ā who required surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet after the shooting āĀ Ā issued a āfinalā response regarding the incidentĀ in April 2023. In the message, she reflected on the āhumiliationā she had faced from the public when coming forward with the claims.
She wrote: āI could have let the adversity break me, but I persevered, even as people treated my trauma like a running joke. It never crossed my mind that people wouldnāt believe me. Still, I knew the truth and the indisputable facts would prevail.ā
