With a tweet that he released shortly after midnight on Wednesday, March 14, Tory Lanez briefly attempted to instill a measure of damage control to keep emotions in check over the video that leaked to show him and Travis Scott going at one another in San Antonio.
Only one-day prior, hip-hop blogs and media outlets were abuzz about the clip, which it was later learned had been shot by someone who witnessed the confrontation as it went down backstage at the Mala Luna Festival in 2016. The recording is of them getting into a confrontation that Travis appeared to remain calm through as Tory turned up with continuous offers to shoot the fade.
Seemingly angered with speculation that Tory himself released the snippet to promote his new Memories Don't Die project, Scott-affiliate Southside, of 808 Mafia, would follow up by calling the Canadian rapper out with a challenge to step to him specifically. Tory may or may not have hit Southside up to clear his name over the leak, but he did address the status of his relationship with Travis in the since-deleted Twitter post.
"Me and [Travis Scott] been got past this irrelevant ass argument a year and a half ago.. that's my dawg," he wrote.
