Iggy Azalea Addresses Letter She Wrote On Behalf Of Tory Lanez Ahead of Sentencing

Iggy Azalea is responding to the backlash she is receiving for writing a letter on behalf of Tory Lanez concerning the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case.

The Australian rapper took to Twitter on Monday to let it be known that she isn’t siding with anyone and that her beliefs go deeper than who’s right.

“For the record,” Iggy tweeted.  “1.  I have not been in touch with Tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well.  2.  I don’t ‘support’ anyone.  The whole things is full of oddities.  My letter never mentioned anything regarding what happened that night.”

She explained the letter’s context and emphasized the importance of advocating for Lanez regardless of innocence or guilt.

“3.  I was told this was for a judge only.  Yet it’s being discussed in public?” Iggy Azalea continued.  “I never intended to publicly comment.  4.  I am not in support of throwing away ANY one’s life.  We can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead.  I support prison reform.  Period.  5.  I was asked to write about my genuine experiences and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did.  It’s not really that interesting, but I understand why it’s being sensationalized… See ya next week to discuss pizza toppings, I suppose.  Lol.”

She later reiterated her stance, adding, “I really hate that this is today’s discourse online because it’s not really an explosive revelation,” she replied to a fan.  “Yes: he should be held accountable.  No: the charges don’t warrant 5 plus in prison.  Most agree with that sentiment because it’s a reasonable take.  This is not news worthy.”

Lanez was convicted in the 2020 shooting last December.  Prosecutors are now seeking a 13-year sentence for the rapper.
