Tory Lanez’s Damning Jail Call Leaks, Sparking Support for Megan Thee Stallion
In July 2020, Megan Thee Stallion alleged that fellow rapper Tory Lanez had shot her in the feet. Earlier this month, a jury convicted Lanez on three felony counts—ostensibly bringing an end to years of debate regarding what had transpired between the two after a party at Kylie Jenner’s home. On social media, however, support for Lanez has lingered among diehard fans who remain unconvinced by official reporting on the trial. Newly leaked audio of Lanez’s jail call to Megan’s former friend, Kelsey Harris, might help turn that tide.
As reported by Uproxx on Friday, Law Crime News reporter Meghann Cuniff has confirmed the authenticity of the leaked audio, which matches up with transcript quotes she reported during the trial.
“I was just so fucking drunk,” Lanez tells Harris at one point during the phone call—a quote Cuniff included in a dispatch weeks ago. “That’s not going to make my actions right.” He acknowledges in the audio that there was an altercation and states that he doesn’t remember what it was about.
