Tory Lanez is allegedly trying to show the world he is built for prison life and wants to be in general population.
Inmate BW0168, aka Tory Lanez, does not want to spend his prison bid isolated and protected from the other prisoners because of his fame. Instead, he wants to be in gen-pop because he’s not afraid, TMZ reports.
Per TMZ:
Ceasar McDowell — a member of Tory’s legal team and the CEO of Unite the People — tells us he’s spoken to TL a few times since he was denied bond pending his appeal, and apparently Tory has a preference on where to be housed at the new facility … gen pop.
Indeed … we’re told Tory’s first choice is to be among the other inmates, as opposed to being siloed away in a protective wing … where high-profile inmates often go. Instead, McDowell tells us Tory’s relayed to him … he wants to be among the common crowd, which is somewhat shocking.
The celebrity gossip site broke the news that the convicted felon was being isolated during his bid in North Kern State Prison because that’s usually how prisoners with his status are treated.
Despite being dangerous to be in the general population, Lanez is not worried at all. McDowell believes the miniature rapper can handle himself if put in gen-pop.
The website also reports that Lanez is pushing to be with the rest of the prisoners to take advantage of programs and resources only available to regular inmates.
This One Thing Worries Tory Lanez
While he allegedly doesn’t fear prison life, there is one thing that the “Say It” crafter is scared about: not being able to talk with his family.
During his time at L.A. County Jail, he could speak with his loved ones whenever he wanted. At North Kern State Prison, he no longer has that option.

Tory Lanez’s mugshot has arrived, and it’s a pure, glorious struggle.
Convicted felon Tory Lanez is now an inmate at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California.
The singer/rapper’s mugshot arrived on the internet, signaling the start of his prison stint, which is hilarious because he once boasted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was not going to prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Justice was finally served on August 8 when Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford slapped Lanez with his well-deserved sentence, seven months after he was convicted of the shooting, ending three years of trauma for the Houston rapper.
The “Say It” crafter was convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence, carrying a loaded, unregistered handgun in a vehicle, and allegations that he used it to inflict bodily harm.
In the photo currently making its rounds on social media, Lanez looks fed up as reality sets in that he will no longer get special treatment and go by inmate number “BW0168,” according to The Shaderoom.
Lanez is not going down without a fight and is currently appealing the conviction. He did make an attempt to stay out of prison as he awaits to appeal the decision.
Unfortunately for him, Judge Herriford said nah, citing Lanez committing a “violent felony” and his “history of violating court orders.”
Lanez was transferred from Los Angeles County Jail to North Kern State Prison after his bail request was denied. ET reports that he will spend three to six months in a medium-security prison and then in a long-term facility to serve the rest of his 10-year bid.
Judge Herriford did bless Lanez with 305-day credit for time served.
Social Media Reactions To Tory Lanez’s Mugshot
The internet is clowing Lanez’s mugshot, specifically his struggle hairline. It’s no secret that Lanez struggles with his hair, and based on his photo, he should just “come on home,” to quote the great Charles Barkley, and go back to the bald look.

Tory Lanez is off to jail to serve out his sentence after a last-ditch motion from his legal team to obtain bail was denied.
On Thursday (Sept. 14), Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Herriford denied a motion for bail brought by a legal team representing the rapper. The filed action to stop the prison sentence Lanez received so he could live in the Los Angeles area with his son was filed by Crystal Morgan, an attorney with Unite the People Inc., a criminal justice non-profit organization.
“As an organization committed to promoting justice and equality, we firmly believe in standing by our clients and supporting them in times of need,” Unite the People said in a statement released after the hearing. “Mr. Peterson has been an integral part of our advisory board, contributing his time, resources, and expertise to further our cause. It is now our turn to stand by him and ensure that he receives a fair and just legal process.”
The Canadian artist was found guilty in December 2022 of three felonies in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, leaving her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet after an incident in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood on July 12, 2020. After months of delays, the 31-year-old was sentenced to 10 years in prison with 10 months of credit for the time he has already served.
“This week in court I took responsibility for all verbal and intimate moments that I shared with the parties involved,” Tory Lanez wrote in an Instagram post two days afterward. “That’s it. In no way shape or form was I apologizing for the charges I’m being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something that I did not do.”
Tory Lanez, also known as Daystar Peterson, was previously represented by attorneys Jose Baez and Matthew Barhoma from the outset of his trial including during his conviction and the Aug. 8 hearing where he received his sentence. Neither lawyer has answered requests for comment on the latest development in the situation. Unite the People CEO and co-founder Ceasar McDowell did state that they would seek to appeal to a higher court after the hearing.

With the VMAs, there always seems to be some drama. Many viewers thought Megan Thee Stallion had some drama with Justin Timberlake backstage, but the leader of the Hot Girls shut that all down.
On a night when Megan Thee Stallion made her big return to the music world, hitting the VMAs’ red carpet looking as fine as she wanted to be in a sheer number, as fans waited to see her join Cardi B on the VMAs’ stage to perform their new released single “Bongos.”
Before the two rappers and good friends hit the stage, an incident caught on MTV VMAs’ backstage camera had users on X (formerly known as Twitter) reacting.
A video of Megan Thee Stallion while getting ready for her “Bongos” performance, seemingly involved in a heated back and forth with Justin Timberlake, who was in attendance as part of the N’Sync reunion, began making its rounds.
What Really Happened Between Megan Thee Stallion & Justin Timberlake
Following their performance of “Bongos,” reports quickly surfaced that the exchange between Thee Stallion and Justin Timberlake was much ado about nothing.
Per Vulture:
While fans were ready to ride for their stallion, Variety confirmed with a source that there was no fight at all, saying the interaction was actually “very cute.” Timberlake allegedly told Megan that it was nice to meet her, but Megan wanted more than a quick hello. “She said, ‘No, no, this don’t count, this don’t count. We gotta meet proper,’” the source explained. Maybe a Megan Thee Stallion and’ N Sync collab was the surprise Taylor Swift was hoping for.
To further debunk there is no bad blood between them, the Houston rapper shared a video on her Instagram account to prove everything is all good, writing in the caption, “I just talk with my hands.”

Megan Thee Stallion is back outside for the first time after the Tory Lanez verdict. Understandably, the internet is drooling over her.
The Queen of The Hotties is looking better than ever, and she is not being shy about it, and we are all thankful for it.
Spotted on TMZ Hip Hop, Thee Stallion stepped for the first time since Tory Lanez was officially sentenced in sheer numbers, flaunting her curves and continually shrinking waist.
The Houston rapper was spotted in Beverly Hills over the weekend attending her manager, T. Farris’ birthday party in a sheer Burberry jumpsuit, per HelloBeautiful, paired with some nipple pasties, chain, and matching Burberry nailset.
In videos shared on her TikTok page, Thee Stallion linked up with Juicy J and friends to create senses-tantalizing content dancing to Three 6 Mafia’s “Half on Sack.”
Thee Stallion’s new figure is a direct result of the work she has been putting in during her hottie boot camps, which she has been making sure to keep us up to speed with her fantastic recap videos.
No surprise, the hotties love her drip and how carefree she looks since Tory Lanez’s conviction following the July 2020 incident.
“Y’all done fcked up letting Megan thee stallion back outside,” one X user’s post read alongside a video of “Cash Sh*t” crafter showing off her bionic knees.
“Megan Thee Stallion outside looking good…The Hair,The BODY my gawd,” a Megan Thee Stallion fan account tweeted.

Megan Thee Stallion related how much suffering she’s endured daily after being shot by Tory Lanez in a written statement read during his sentencing hearing.
On Monday (August 7th), Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta read a statement from the “Cognac Queen” rapper during the sentencing of Lanez in the courtroom. “Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,” the statement began. “Slowly but surely, I’m healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.”
She asked that her absence from the courtroom not be perceived as a sign of indifference, writing that she struggled with trying to be present for the sentencing but decided that she “simply could not bring myself to be in a room with Tory again.” Megan Thee Stallion did ask Judge David Hereford to deliver a stiff sentence. She also pointed out that Lanez “has blamed the system, blamed the press, and as of late has tried to take advantage of his childhood trauma.”
Lanez, also known as Daystar Peterson, was convicted last year of three felonies – assault with a semiautomatic weapon, discharging a firearm with gross negligence, and having a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle. All charges stem from the 2020 incident where he shot Megan in her feet after the pair and a friend left a party at Kylie Jenner’s home in Hollywood Hills. Lanez faces up to 13 years in prison based on those charges.
Judge Herriford allowed the legal teams for the prosecution and the defense to argue every factor leading to the potential sentence. In doing so, the proceedings would go on for hours, with Lanez’s lawyers also providing statements and 76 letters including one from his six-year-old son defending the rapper and asking for leniency in light of his charitable work. The delay means that the sentencing hearing will resume on Tuesday (August 8th).
One of those letters was composed by Iggy Azalea, which garnered some controversy leading her to state that the letter was “for the judge only”. She also issued a lengthy post of clarification via Twitter. “I am not in support of throwing away ANYone’s life if we can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead. I support prison reform. Period,” she wrote.

Megan Thee Stallion‘s ready for her closeup Mr. DeMille.
After establishing herself as one of the best talents in the music game over the past few years, Megan Thee Stallion is now turning her attention to the silver screen in hopes of to taking Hollywood by storm as she did the rap game. Yesterday, A24 released their first trailer to their upcoming raunchy musical comedy, Dicks: The Musical, which features the “Body” rapper doing what she does best, rapping!
Centering around two businessmen (Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp) who find out that they’re long-lost twins, the R-rated musical finds the two attempting to reunite their parents (Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally) so that they can be the loving family unit that they never had. Unfortunately, Nathan Lane declares himself “as queer as a three dollar bill and just as thin,” so their masterplan might fall apart before it can even get started.
Riddled with sexually explicit lyrics and hilarious ditties, the trailer promises, at the very least, an entertaining time at the movies if not a moving one. That being said, if Megan Thee Stallion doesn’t twerk at least once, we riot. We kid, we kid.
Check out the trailer for Dicks: The Musical below and let us know if you’ll be checking for this when it hits theaters Sept. 29.

Megan Thee Stallion may be taking a break from music, but she’s still keeping fans entertained over on social media.
The star took to TikTok and Instagram Reels on Friday (June 23) to share a hilarious update on what’s she’s been up to lately. “B—-, since the last time y’all seen me, I learned to do a motherf—ing pull up,” she narrated the clip at lightning speed, as she’s seen doing pull ups and having a workout at the gym with her new trainer. “Ok, so anyways, I can’t drop music right now but, b—-, I might as well drop a little workout routine.”
After the gym, Meg shows herself and her dancers getting cryotherapy, “because, b—-, we’re going to tear it up [onstage] so I need my legs, ligaments, joints, knees to be percolating.” She also shared scenes looking at Birkin bags at Hermès in Paris, France, before getting glam, having a creative meeting, and attending the Louis Vuitton Spring 2024 Menswear Collection Runway Show.

“What’s been going onn hotties ❤️🔥 y’all miss me? Dont ask me bout no dang music rn lol,” she captioned the post.
Last month, the “Savage” rapper revealed to InStyle that she’s taking a much-needed break from music to focus on her wellbeing. “Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place,” she told the publication. “Right now, I’m focused on healing.”
She added that “the music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out. Life is all about balance.”

For a minute there, Megan Thee Stallion was one of the hottest names in the rap game. But since then, the Houston representative has fallen back from the music scene, and it seems like making records isn’t a priority in her life right now.
Having gone through a very public shaming for her personal life that came to light during the Tory Lanez trial related to her shooting, Megan has taken time off to heal her wounds. In a new interview with InStyle magazine, the “Plan B” rapper explains why music is secondary in her life right now. Telling InStyle that her day ones can expect new work from her when she’s “in a better place,” Thee Stallion says that she’s using this time to heal her wounds, as that should be anyone’s priority when going through the gauntlet called life.
So what has Megan been up to these days as she regroups and pieces herself back together? Well, it looks a lot like what’d you expect from the everyday person who doesn’t have a record deal or a few Grammy awards.
InStyle reports:
These days, that looks like spending time with her dogs, working out, bingeing TV shows, and simply finding new ways to protect her peace. You can now find her setting boundaries and incorporating rest days into her schedule to take care of both her physical and mental health. “The music and entertainment industry can be a grind, so it’s important to take time off and avoid burning out,” she says. “Life is all about balance.”
Indeed it is.
Though that’s not keeping her from growing her own brand as she continues to be a Revlon global ambassador and use their products to keep her looking fresh when she’s on stage or posting pics on social media. Speaking as to why she chooses Revlon products to keep her beauty shining, Megan says “It keeps my glam looking flawless, especially during festival season when I’m on stage and performing in the summer heat.”
Good job, Revlon. Good job.
While we understand that Megan needs this time to gather herself and get to a better mental place, we hope she doesn’t keep her fans waiting too long for new material. Those Stallion riders might get a bit antsy if they’re kept waiting too long.
What do y’all think of Megan Thee Stallion falling back from the music game for a minute? Let us know in the comments section below.
