Tory Lanez has just released a new album, PETERSON. This was recorded entirely from prison. In this new song, which is very personal to him, he opens up about his struggles, his legal battle and the people who were there by his side during tough times.
One of the biggest revelations in the album is his gratitude towards Chris Brown who helped him financially by paying his legal fees when he did not have much money and was in a tough spot.
In the song T.D.F (feat. DSTNY) x LA County Jail, Tory Lanez raps about being in a bad situation back in California with no money or support. He said that Chris Brown was the only one who came forward to help him.
"Where was you n***as when I was in Cali f***ed up with no covers to bundle up? / Only real n***a that helped me was Chris Brown, that really my brother, bruh."
In his other song, Free Tory, he shared hoe none of his other celebrity friends showed up to help him and completely ignored him when he needed money.
"I was f***ed up. And my lawyer wanted over, like, a quarter million to represent me for the appeal. So, you know, I start hollering at all my rap friends, my celebrity friends, and nobody was there. N***as treating me like I was dead."
Apparently, only Chris Brown helped him, which was unexpected.
