TORY LANEZ SPEAKS ON THE CELEBRITIES THAT PUBLICLY DISTANCED THEMSELVES FROM HIM FOLLOWING THE MEGAN THEE STALLION INCIDENT: Tory Lanez has opened up about celebrities that distanced himself following the Megan Thee Stallion incident last summer. During an appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, Lanez said, “You gotta understand, people have brands. Before I look at Tory Lanez like it’s me, Tory Lanez is a brand. Whatever artist is their brand. At the moment, it wasn’t the look to put their brand on it. Unless you were somebody who stood so far into the brand, that your brand was so you, that your personal life is reflected on your brand. When it started there were very few people like that on the outside, but on the inside it was love. That was the weird thing about it for me.” He added, “When it comes down to artists, I still understand the business side of it, so I never really hold friction there. When things get right, it’ll be alright. Just like now, I’ve been living a regular life. People are coming back and taking pictures, but eight months ago it might not have been the mood,” he said.
