Tory Lanez has turned a new leaf.
Despite spending the last few months calling himself the “best rapper alive” and going back-and-forth with artists like Joyner Lucas, Royce 5’9″ and Don Q, Tory is no longer looking for beef and vows to hold up his fellow artists.
“Seeing my peers win Grammys tonight really inspired me and made me realize we only have so much time to achieve the goals we truly want. That being said, I will no longer entertain anymore negativity from this point,” Tory proclaimed in a lengthy Twitter update (available below).
Taking things to wax, Lanez also dropped a new freestyle over 21 Savage‘s “a lot” to expand on his thoughts and speak on the detainment of Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph.
“Go on the Gram, scroll on the page, look at the shit that I happened to see/ Look at what happened to 21 Savage, I’m knowing that shit could’ve happened to me,” he raps. “How they gon’ cut our n***a from the country for simply rapping on beats/ That happened to reach his goals, touching the souls of n***as that happened to be out trapping the trees/ Or packing the nines, a gat in their spine, it’s that or the back of the seat.”
“I saw a video of his little daughter this morning, it made me so happy to see/ Happy her daddy was on the television, accepting awards and actually free,” he continued. “Let’s keep it real, we ain’t finna lie, I think everybody laughed at the memes/ And then I realized that that shit was mean, you can’t be joking about somebody free-dom/ Most of these people don’t know the severity of a situation, know where they hearing it/ All of the blogs that filter the good and cater the bad, man, we need some clearer shit.”

The difference with me and a lot of people is I’m extremely passionate about my craft … and sometimes I express that in ways that I either shouldn’t or may seem arrogant or cocky .. but that’s not the case .. TBH I say the things I say to teach my peers there’s no limitations

Like fuck it if shorty down the street say she believe she’s the best at something .. i might not feel the same way but hey …fuck it ..ima encourage her and tell her she is the best but work hard at it everyday . Because that’s what I’m called to do … inspire

I genuinely understand why people feel how they feel about me … because I’m outside the boundary of normal thinking . And I’m fine with that . Cause one day my way of thinking will help the next Albert Einstein, Walt Disney , and young innovators of our next generation .

Nobody is a better human than the next . everybody is equal .. making all of our minds equal .. if someone has an opinion it may be real but doesn’t hold more value than yours . If you feel your the best that is your opinion . No ones opinion of doubt is more valid than yours

It’s time to encourage each other as a whole fucking generation .. oppose to always hating on people and tearing them down .. that one message of hate that u write could have changed the mind of the person who could have created the cure for cancer . This is beyond us .

I hate to sound like a preacher .. but the reality is , no matter if u hate some body because they got less money or more money or whatever the reason cause guess what … when we die no matter how much u got .. we all leave in the same 6 by 6 hole in a casket .. think about it
