Funk Flex has shared his thoughts on the incident that occurred between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez that resulted in the latter being sentenced to 10 years behind bars – and he thinks Tory is innocent.
Talking to fans on an Instagram Live this week, Flex noted to people commenting “Free [rapper name]” that most of the time when someone is in jail, there is a reason and no one should be looking to free them. However, when one person asked if he felt that applied to Tory as well, the famed Hot97 DJ felt differently.
“Tory Lanez, I do believe he’s innocent,” Flex said. “Yes I do. I do. It’s not what they’re saying it is.”

While Tory Lanez maintains his innocence and has been fighting his sentence, he recently admitted that he has just one “regret” from the fateful night Megan Thee Stallion was shot.
The Canadian rapper appears on a new song with DDG called “Handling Business” that was released earlier this month – which hears him address the incident that landed him behind bars.
“Only one thing I regret about that night is jumpin’ up outta that pool with Kylie,” he raps defiantly, echoing previous assertions that he was wrongly convicted.
The much-discussed shooting took place during a drunken dispute between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez after a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills mansion in July 2020.
During the trial, Tory’s legal team claimed that the argument was sparked by Megan’s “jealousy” at seeing Tory cozy up to the reality star at the party.
Megan herself testified that she and Tory had a sexual relationship at the time, contradicting previous statements she gave to the media.
Prosecutors presented a different theory of the spat, however, claiming that it was because Megan had “insulted [Tory’s] skills as a musical artist.
While Megan has since gotten her career back on track with the release of two albums, the case hasn’t fully gone away as Tory continues to appeal his sentence and has even made since-debunked claims about key evidence in the shooting.
