In a surprising turn of events, PARTYNEXTDOOR has seemingly taken aim at fellow Canadian artist Tory Lanez in a newly surfaced Instagram Live session, where he unleashes a series of pointed disses. The revelation comes amidst a period of rising success for PARTYNEXTDOOR, who recently achieved his first number one album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, thanks in part to his longstanding collaboration with Drake.
The tension appears to stem from Lanez’s recent comments regarding the current state of the music industry, where he claimed it was his time to shine while serving time in prison. This statement may have struck a nerve with PARTYNEXTDOOR, who has expressed a desire to distance himself from any comparisons to Lanez. During his Instagram Live, the artist asserted, “I’m not y’all n*gas friends. Stop saying my name,” before launching into an unreleased track that made his feelings toward Lanez unmistakably clear. “Fck what Tory Lanez say… I’m running that,” he sings, positioning himself as the superior artist in the ongoing narrative.
In the snippet, PARTYNEXTDOOR not only dismisses Lanez’s criticisms of his vocal style but also accuses Lanez of appropriating his sound. “You said I sound like Young Thug,” he croons, “You sound like me. One day, you’ll be me…” This bold proclamation underscores PARTYNEXTDOOR’s confidence in his artistry and highlights the competitive nature of the hip-hop scene.
Historically, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Tory Lanez have not had any publicly known issues, having collaborated previously on the 2018 track “More Than Friends.” However, the recent shift in dynamics suggests that any camaraderie may now be in jeopardy. The timing of PARTYNEXTDOOR’s comments is particularly interesting given that Lanez has been supported by Drake, who has publicly championed Lanez during his legal struggles, even stating “Free Tory” during a live stream event.
PARTYNEXTDOOR is no stranger to conflict, having feuded with other artists in the past, including Chris Brown and Jeremih. However, his choice to target Lanez seems to create an intriguing narrative, especially considering Drake’s involvement with both artists. As PARTYNEXTDOOR continues to promote his new album, the potential for drama between these Canadian artists adds another layer to the ongoing complexities of their relationships within the industry.
With tensions rising and both artists at pivotal points in their careers, fans are left wondering how this feud will develop. Will PARTYNEXTDOOR’s bold moves create a significant rift in the Canadian hip-hop community, or will it be a fleeting moment in the ever-evolving landscape of music rivalries? As the story unfolds, it’s clear that the stakes are high, and the competitive spirit in hip-hop remains fiercely alive.
