Tory Lanez, a Canadian rapper, was arrested in 2020 for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion, an American rapper.
What’s even more perplexing is that, despite the gravity of the issue, social media users couldn’t stop chatting and joking about Tory Lanez height.
Megan Thee Stallion alleged on August 20, 2020 that the Canadian rapper had shot her at an after-party in the Hollywood Hills on July 12, 2020.
Lanez was eventually apprehended when authorities discovered a concealed weapon inside his vehicle. Despite this, he pled “not guilty” and “vehemently denied” the claims.
Lanez was eventually released after posting a $35,000 bail.
Lanez responded to Stallion’s charges with a song called “Queen And Slim” a few weeks after the incident. The song’s lyrics were as follows:
Kylie and I are still in the water. We were chillin’, kickin’ s—, and it was great. We had no idea you were trippin’ because neither of us had noticed. Even though I had a crush on Kylie, I would have left with you if I had known you were dipping. You invited me, but I can’t pretend that Shawty didn’t pique my interest; I had taken a wrong turn that evening.
What made the news on social media, though, was something quite different. When people commented on Lanez’s height and physical attractiveness on social media, they took it to the next level.
Lanez’s height and weight are listed as 5 ft. 3″ and 120 pounds, respectively, in his arrest report. People also made fun of his given name, Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson. Lanez rapidly became a social media meme after a slew of memes centered on his stature and features. Several memes aimed against his appearance are combined in a video posted on the HipHopdx YouTube channel on July 15, 2020.
A video showing a big figure pulling a child by his jacket went viral on Twitter as part of a joke. “Brahhhhh, they say this was the cops dragging Tory Lanez to jail,” the caption read.
“Tory Lanez is the same height as Calvin Cambridge,” read another tweet.
The rapper is seen rapping while sitting on a chair in a video titled ‘When Tory Lanez stood up and was the same height.’
To everyone’s surprise, when he stood up, he appeared to be the same height as before. With the description “Can someone please explain how Tory Lanez stood up but didn’t get much taller” and a laughing emoji, this video was also shared on Twitter.
Well, you can always count on social media to divert attention away from the fundamental issue!
The Megan Thee Stallion Case has been updated
Things appear to be going worse for the Canadian rapper as of August 2021. Megan Thee Stallion had filed a protection order against him, and a prosecutor found that he had broken it.
Lanez was to stay 100 yards away from Megan Thee Stallion at all times, according to the injunction. However, the prosecution said he disregarded this rule when he appeared at the Rolling Loud music festival as a surprise guest alongside DaBaby.
