Details Of Tory Lanez's 'Lonely' Life In State Prison Revealed

Rapper Tory Lanez is allegedly being kept alone in state prison because of his high-profile celebrity status.

According to a report, all of Lanez's meals are brought to his cell, and his diet consists of bologna sandwiches and boiled eggs. The rapper was recently sentenced to 10 years for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020.

Lanez will likely spend three to six months before being transferred to a long-term facility. His mugshot was recently revealed and quickly went viral on social media. 

Tory Lanez's high-profile celebrity status has earned him a solo and lonely stay in state prison. The Canadian rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently being held at the North Kern State Prison in California. According to TMZ, Lanez is in Administrative Segregation because of his celebrity status, so he gets minimal social interactions.

A source revealed that Lanez is alone in his cell and receives frequent checks from the guards. He's escorted everywhere, to the showers and the yard, where he's also kept away from other prisoners in a fenced-off area. However, this is reportedly standard policy and treatment for all prisoners in Ad-Seg.

Regarding his prison diet, the source revealed that Lanez doesn't eat at the chow hall like other inmates. All his meals, including bologna sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs, are brought to his cell. It's unclear if the rapper is receiving visitors aside from his legal team concerning his appeal.

Lanez recently began his time at the state prison after being sentenced to 10 years on firearm charges. The "Hurts Me" singer was convicted of shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion on both feet after a party at Kylie Jenner's home in July 2020.

Lanez's convictions include assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded and unregistered gun, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. He'll likely spend three to six months at the state prison before being transferred to a long-term federal facility for the rest of his sentence.

Authorities are yet to decide which long-term prison Lanez will finish his conviction. Despite being sentenced to 10 years, Judge David Herriford reportedly gave the "The Color Violet" rapper a 305-day credit for time already served. This shortens his sentence by almost a year.

Just before being moved to the North Kern state prison, Lanez was processed into the system and had his mugshot taken. The photo was later shared on social media and quickly went viral. It showed Lanez with unkempt hair, a scraggly beard, and a mustache.

Many social media users criticized Lanez and his appearance on Twitter and Instagram, saying he looked "emotionless." One Twitter user wrote, "His hair looks like mine underneath my wig," and another commented, "They did him dirty having the wig glue showing."

Another social media user wrote, "At least that hairline down pay working." A viral comment on the mugshot read, "He needs to glue his frontal down. I'm surprised they let him keep that Toupee."

Lanez is currently appealing his shooting conviction and 10-year sentence. He requested Judge Herriford to release him on bail while his team worked on the appeal so he could live with his wife and young son.

However, Judge Herriford denied Lanez's motion in a recent hearing, citing his history of violent felony convictions. The judge also noted that the "In For It" rapper has a history of violating court orders.

Just before his sentence was announced, Lanez took to Instagram to apologize for his violent actions. However, he recanted the apology and said he only takes responsibility for his "verbal and intimate moments" with the affected parties.

He wrote, "In no way, shape, or form was I apologizing for the charges I'm being wrongfully convicted of. I remain on the stance that I refuse to apologize for something I did not do." Lanez insisted to his followers and fans that he would keep fighting until he "comes out victorious."
