Funk Flex has stirred up conversation regarding the ongoing legal saga between Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion, expressing his belief that Lanez is innocent of the charges stemming from the shooting incident that led to his 10-year prison sentence. During an Instagram Live session, the renowned Hot97 DJ shared his perspective with fans, stating, “Tory Lanez, I do believe he’s innocent. Yes I do. It’s not what they’re saying it is.”
Lanez, who has consistently maintained his innocence, has recently opened up about his feelings regarding the infamous night in question. In a new track titled “Handling Business,” he reflects on the incident, saying, “Only one thing I regret about that night is jumpin’ up outta that pool with Kylie,” reinforcing his claims of wrongful conviction.
The shooting incident, which occurred in July 2020 following a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills mansion, ignited a media firestorm. At the trial, Lanez’s defense suggested that the altercation arose due to Megan’s jealousy over his interactions with Jenner. In contrast, Megan testified about their sexual relationship during that time, which contradicted earlier statements she had made publicly.
Prosecutors, however, posited a different narrative, suggesting that the argument was sparked by Megan critiquing Tory’s musical abilities. Despite the various accounts, Lanez was convicted on all counts and sentenced to a decade in prison.
While Megan Thee Stallion has regained her footing in the music industry with the successful release of two albums, the controversy surrounding the case continues to linger. Lanez is currently appealing his sentence and has made claims regarding key evidence, which have since been debunked.
Funk Flex’s support for Lanez has sparked mixed reactions, with some questioning the implications of his stance. As the case evolves, the discussions surrounding it remain a hot topic within the hip-hop community.
