Tory Lanez is talking from prison for the first time since his conviction, giving an interview where he still says he's innocent of shooting Megan Thee Stallion. The rapper, serving a ten-year sentence, spoke with NBC News and discussed his legal fight and a brutal stabbing he survived behind bars. His lawyers are now asking California's governor for a pardon or a sentence reduction.
He claimed a ton of new evidence has surfaced since his trial that proves his innocence, evidence he says the court never got to see. Lanez insisted he is not a violent person and would never hurt a woman, arguing the public has the wrong idea about him. He described prison as deeply traumatic, mentioning he was attacked and stabbed numerous times in one incident.
The interview showed a guy trying to cope with his situation while firmly denying the charges that put him there. His focus remains on getting his case reviewed, not on gaining public pity. The request to Governor Newsom is a long shot, as those forms of executive relief are rarely granted.
