Drake, Stars Push Petition After Lanez Prison Stabbing

After Tory Lanez was stabbed 14 times and suffered collapsed lungs in a California prison, Drake, Kanye West, Kodak Black, Chris Brown, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna publicly called for his release, promoting a petition to Governor Gavin Newsom for a pardon. The petition, which cites alleged prosecutorial misconduct and claims Lanez is a victim of injustice, has garnered over 270,000 signatures. Megan Thee Stallion, the victim in Lanez's 2020 shooting conviction, publicly reaffirmed Lanez's guilt and condemned what she described as a 'hate campaign' against her. Lanez is reported to be recovering well, while the inmate suspected of stabbing him has been isolated pending investigation. The campaign has generated significant debate, with supporters advocating clemency and critics pointing to the court's findings. The situation underscores deep divisions within the music industry and among fans regarding Lanez's conviction and treatment.
