In a surprising turn of events, Tory Lanez has collaborated with DDG on a new freestyle track called “Handling Business.” This collaboration sheds light on Lanez’s involvement in the 2020 shooting incident with Megan Thee Stallion, for which he was convicted.
DDG and Tory Lanez Collaboration
The track, released on December 12, features DDG boasting about his wealth and business acumen, while Lanez reflects on his prison challenges and expresses regret for his actions on the night of the shooting incident.
Lanez raps, “Surely my city talks about me highly, Know that these ladies never can deny me, The only thing I regret on that night is jumping out of that pool with Kylie,” referencing an alleged moment that triggered a feud with Megan Thee Stallion and her friend Kelsey. The trio had reportedly been at Kylie Jenner’s house before the shooting.
Lanez hints at a potential early release from prison despite being sentenced to 10 years in August 2023. Listen to his thoughts on Kylie Jenner around the 02:42-minute mark in the track below.
Controversy Surrounding Lanez’s Collaboration
Lanez’s decision to participate in the track while incarcerated has sparked mixed reactions from fans. While some continue to support him, others believe he is capitalizing on a painful chapter in Megan Thee Stallion’s life.
Megan Thee Stallion has been vocal about her trauma and resilience following the shooting incident. During a performance at Outside Lands Festival, she addressed those who doubt her story and support Lanez’s innocence.
“I just wanna say, f**k all my haters,” she declared. “None of the negativity broke me or my fans. I want all my fans to stand strong and show resilience.”
