Tory Lanez Asking for a Pardon After Prison Stabbing—Will the Judge Set Him Free or Keep Him Bound?

Now y’all, gather ‘round and let me break this thing down for you. Tory Lanez—yes, the same Canadian rapper who was convicted for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion—is back in the headlines, and baby, it is messy all over again.

Just when folks thought the case was closed and the story had been laid to rest, Tory Lanez is making waves from behind prison walls. He has been stabbed, his legal team is shouting about new evidence, and now he is trying to get a presidential pardon. Whew! Let me catch you up on everything that has been going on with him, because this story is moving faster than a pot of grits boiling over.

Let’s Go Back: Why Is Tory Lanez in Prison?

In case you need a quick refresher, back in July 2020, there was a shooting after a Hollywood party. Megan Thee Stallion, our Houston Hot Girl herself, came forward and said that Tory Lanez shot her in the foot after an argument in a car. At first, Megan did not name him, but when the drama boiled over online and folks started twisting the story, she stood in her truth. Well sorta kinda, She lied a little bit to Gail King. Megan felt Gail wasn't the judge or jury so she didn't feel bad about that lie at all. Anyways...

After a long legal battle, Tory Lanez was found guilty in December 2022 of assault with a firearm, possession of an unregistered weapon, and negligent discharge of a firearm. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and is currently serving time at a California state prison.

A Violent Attack Behind Bars: 14 Stab Wounds

Now baby, this is where the story takes a dark turn. Just a few days ago, it was reported that Tory Lanez was stabbed 14 times in prison by another inmate. That is not just a little scuffle or some playground fight—that is serious.

According to sources close to the situation, the attack was targeted, and Tory was left with multiple stab wounds, including injuries to his upper body. Medical staff were called in, and he had to receive emergency attention. Tory was airlifted to a hospital to be treated. 

Now listen, being in prison is already rough, but this stabbing has turned the spotlight back on Tory’s safety. His legal team says that his life is in danger, and they are using this attack as another reason to push for a pardon and early release.

New Evidence: Was Kelsey the Real Shooter?

But wait—there is more. Tory’s lawyers are not just relying on sympathy. They claim they have brand-new evidence that could change everything.

A former bodyguard has come forward, allegedly stating that Kelsey Harris, Megan’s former best friend, was the one who fired the gun that night. Now baby, if you remember, Kelsey was also in the car during the incident. She and Megan had a falling out afterward, and the courtroom drama had both women pointing fingers in different directions.

According to Tory’s legal team, this new statement proves Tory’s innocence, and they are asking for a full review of the case. They believe he was wrongly convicted and that he deserves to be pardoned or at least given a new trial.

Pardon Me, please?

Let me tell you how serious this is—Tory’s lawyers are reaching all the way to Governor Gavin Newsom asking for a pardon.

Now listen, it is not uncommon for high-profile prisoners to request clemency, but whether or not they get it is another story. A pardon would wipe the conviction clean and set Tory free. But baby, pardons do not come easy—especially in a case this high-profile and emotionally charged.

Megan Thee Stallion’s attorney Alex Spiro issued a stern response. “Tory Lanez was tried and convicted by a jury of his peers and his case was properly adjudicated through the court system,” Spiro said in a statement to XXL. “This is not a political matter — this is a case of a violent assault that was resolved in the court of law.”

Megan Thee Stallion has not made any recent statements, but her supporters are not playing. They believe she was a victim and feel like justice was already served. Tory’s fans, on the other hand, are still riding hard for him and saying he was set up from the beginning.

How Is Tory Holding Up?

From what we can tell, Tory Lanez is staying strong, but this prison stabbing has definitely shaken things up. His team says he is still recovering physically, but he is mentally focused on proving his innocence.

They are filing appeals, pushing the pardon route, and sharing more documents to the public in hopes of changing the narrative. Tory has also kept in touch with fans through statements posted online, where he maintains that he did not shoot Megan and that he is the victim of a wrongful conviction.

What Does the Public Think?

Now, depending on who you ask, public opinion is split down the middle. Some people feel like the whole case was messy from the beginning, and they believe this new bodyguard testimony might finally clear Tory’s name. Others say the jury already heard the facts, made a decision, and that Megan Thee Stallion’s trauma should not be erased.

And then there is a third group of folks—like me—who are sitting back, sipping tea, watching everything unfold while asking the universe for the truth to come out loud and clear.

So, What Happens Next?

Here is what we know so far:

• Tory Lanez is still in prison, recovering from multiple stab wounds.

• His legal team says new evidence from a bodyguard points the finger at Kelsey, not Tory.

• They are pushing hard for a pardon from Governor Gavin Newsom.

• The public remains divided, and Megan has not responded to this latest update.

• The courts have not yet ruled on any appeals or pardon requests, but all eyes are watching.

This is a developing story, and baby, it is far from over.

Now you know I had to ask the cards what the truth really is. Ain’t no way I was going to let this story slide without getting into the spirit of it all. I shuffled my cards, said a prayer for clarity, and asked:
"Will Tory Lanez receive a pardon for the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion?"
Honey, the cards that fell out said more than words ever could:
The Hierophant, Three of Wands, Queen of Wands reversed, and Six of Pentacles.

So let us unpack this together, slow and steady, like we do down South—because this story is full of drama, pain, power, and a whole lot of spiritual truth.

The Hierophant: Law, Order, and Unseen Hands

First up was The Hierophant, and baby, that card came down like a gavel in court. This card represents law, institutions, tradition, and higher authority. It tells me plain and clear that Tory’s fate is going to be tied to powerful institutions—meaning the courts, the prison system, and yes, even the President if a pardon is truly on the table. The Hierophant can also represent Hollywood which is the music industry that Tory works in and that also included Roc Nation aka Jay-Z. 

This card is not about feelings—it is about rules, structure, and playing the game the right way. So if Tory is going to get that pardon, it will not come from sympathy or public outcry. It will come from who he knows and how well his legal team plays their cards—and baby, right now, it looks like they are stacking their deck with this new bodyguard statement.

But let me be honest—The Hierophant do not move quick. This is slow, methodical justice. So do not expect any miracles overnight. He may be calling on power, but power likes to take its sweet time.

The Three of Wands: A Waiting Game

Next, we got the Three of Wands, and this card had me rocking in my chair. It is all about waiting on results, watching your ships come in, and planning for the future. That tells me Tory’s team is putting things in place right now, probably building a strong case, pulling out all kinds of receipts, and waiting for the right moment to strike.

This card says that Tory is hoping for a future outside them prison walls, and baby, he can see it, but he cannot touch it yet. It is like being close enough to smell the cornbread but not being allowed a bite.

So yes, the energy shows hope, strategic planning, and legal moves being made behind closed doors. But nothing is promised just yet. He is still looking out on the horizon, praying that someone in power hears his cry.

Queen of Wands Reversed: The Real Star in the Shadows?

Now let me tell you—when that Queen of Wands reversed flew out the deck, I had to clutch my pearls. Because upright, she is bold, radiant, magnetic, and powerful. But reversed? She is jealous, manipulative, and hiding something.

And baby, you already know who this card pointed to in this situation: Kelsey.

If Tory’s legal team is saying that Kelsey was the real shooter, and if this Queen reversed is showing up strong, then honey—it could mean there is some truth to that claim. This card tells me Kelsey may have been hiding her hand, playing sweet and innocent while letting others take the fall.

But let us not get too carried away, because this card can also show a woman feeling threatened, backed into a corner, and striking out of fear. So whether she was the shooter or not, there is messiness, ego, and emotional instability surrounding her part in all this.

This is a dangerous energy to have involved in any legal situation, especially when we are talking about pardons and prison time. If I remember clearly, I think Kelsey received a plea deal during the trial that states that she can't serve any jailtime for anything she said on the stand. What kind of lawyer did she have because Tory should have hired them?

Six of Pentacles: Justice or Mercy?

And now for the last card, the Six of Pentacles, which had me looking at both sides of the scale. This card is about giving and receiving, mercy and justice, and how power is handed out by those in control.

Tory might be in a position right now where he is asking for help, hoping someone will step up and say, “You have done enough time, son.” But this card also asks a deeper question:
Does he truly deserve mercy, or is he just asking because the tables turned?

Let us be real. Tory’s behavior after the incident did not win him many fans. He was loud, defiant, and acting like nothing could touch him. But now, after getting stabbed 14 times and sitting in a cell, he is singing a different tune.

The Six of Pentacles says a decision will be made, but it will depend on who is holding the scales and what they believe he deserves. It will not be up to public opinion, social media, or sympathy—it will come down to cold hard facts and political motivation.

Will He Get the Pardon?

So, what is the answer the cards gave me? Will Tory Lanez get a pardon?

Not any time soon unless there is undeniable proof that someone else pulled that trigger and him taking the vow with the Powers That Be. He may be required to sign a contract with the Devil. 

• The Hierophant says the law is still in charge, and no pardon will come without serious legal backing or an alleged approval from the music industry. 

• The Three of Wands shows that he is waiting and working—but it is a process.

• The Queen of Wands reversed hints that Kelsey may have played a bigger role than the world knows.

• And the Six of Pentacles reminds us that mercy comes from the top—and only if they believe he has earned it. What is the price that he is willing to pay? Can he pay his way out of this situation? That's possible but where is he gonna get the money. How much money is on his books? 

So baby, as it stands today, Tory is still in that cell, hoping and praying, while the legal team scrambles to turn this case around. And let us not forget—Megan Thee Stallion is still out here healing too, from both the physical wound and the way folks dragged her name through the mud. Tory may get freed from his prison cell but will be truly be free from the darkside of music industry.  🎶
