Tory Lanez prison music and legal matters

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Canadian rapper Tory Lanez, who is serving a 10‑year California sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, announced a double album titled *Made You Think I Was Gone…But*. The project, slated for release on July 17, combines rap and R&B discs and is assembled from vocals recorded via prison phone calls and later mixed by external engineers, continuing a pattern of music releases from behind bars.

A few weeks later, in early August 2026, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge dismissed the divorce filing brought by Lanez’s partner Raina Chassagne. The case, initiated in June 2024, stalled while Lanez remains incarcerated, leading the court to terminate the proceeding without a final judgment. The dismissal does not signal reconciliation, leaving the marriage legally intact and underscoring ongoing personal and legal challenges for Lanez while he continues to produce music from prison.
