Canadian rapper Tory Lanez, currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, has revealed that fellow artist Chris Brown was the only celebrity who provided financial assistance for his legal fees. Lanez shared this information through his recently released prison-recorded album, *PETERSON*.
Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, disclosed in the album that when his accounts were frozen, he faced significant challenges in securing the $250,000 needed for legal representation for his appeal. In a track titled *T.D.F (feat. DSTNY) x LA County Jail*, he expressed gratitude for Brownโs unexpected support, rapping, “Only real n**a that helped me was Chris Brown, that really my brother, bruh.”
In another track, *Free Tory*, Lanez elaborated that while most of his industry peers ignored his requests for help, Brown stepped up without hesitation. According to Lanez, Brown offered financial assistance with no strings attached, simply wishing him well and hoping for his release.
Brown, who has faced his own legal and public scrutiny following his 2009 assault case involving Rihanna, may have empathized with Lanezโs struggles in dealing with legal battles and industry backlash. The two artists have collaborated on music in the past, and their bond appears to extend beyond their professional relationship.
Despite being incarcerated, Lanez continues to stay active in music, using his lyrics to share his personal struggles and maintain a connection with his fan base. His latest project, *PETERSON*, provides a candid look into his legal challenges, personal reflections, and the individuals who either supported or distanced themselves from him during this difficult time.
