While Megan Thee Stallion is asking the judge to give Tory Lanez the harshest sentence possible, many other supporters, including, Iggy Azalea have asked the Judge for a more mild punishment.
According to the judge, she has received several letters supporting Lanez and asking for a mild sentence, however, one of such letters came from a female rapper Azalea who asked that the judge give out a more transformational sentence, instead of a destructive one.
Tory Lanez is set to be sentenced today (August 7) after being found guilty earlier this year of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Ahead of the sentencing, the judge received several letters in support of Tory, including one from Iggy Azalea. Legal journalist Meghann Cuniff made the revelation while reporting on the sentencing, adding that over 70 letters were sent to the judge.
Cuniff tweeted, “I haven’t seen the letters yet, but most interesting to me was Herriford saying a jailer wrote a letter that says Lanez ‘is remorseful’ and has ‘talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it.’ It’s the closest we’ve ever come to Lanez saying he did.
She added, “That jailer didn’t talk in court, but the chaplain did. (I should be able to get the letters, but maybe not today.) Judge Herriford said Iggy [Azalea’s] letter asks him to impose a sentence ‘that is transformational, not life destroying.'”
While the Judge may be tempted to grant Azalea’s desire, this isn’t Tory’s first violent crime. Considering his past, the judge will be lenient enough to give him 10 years from the maximum of 23 years he is likely to get.
