Rumors began circulating online on Wednesday (October 11) that Tory Lanez was released from prison after the hashtag #FreeToryLanez began trending on X, formerly known as Twitter. This comes amid the news that Tory is appealing his 10-year sentence after he was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
As the rumors were running wild online, Tory's father, Sonstar Peterson, took to Instagram Live to address the situation. He told viewers, "I just want you to know, we got a call back and that's what I was told. We are still waiting. We refuse to take our faith off of what we believe."
However, legal journalist Meghann Cuniff shared, "No, the California Court of Appeal has not let Tory Lanez out of prison. I don't know where all the DMs and @'s are coming from right now about Lanez being granted bail, but the 2nd District Court of Appeal has not yet ruled on Lanez's request for bail pending appeal."
