A few months back, Tory Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, and he is facing more than 20 years in prison.
It seems like he is not one to just accept defeat. The rapper took to social media and shared an open letter he wrote addressed to the Los Angeles DA Office.
The lengthy open letter was also captioned, it served as the DA's warning that he refuses to acknowledge the verdict and that he will not stop until he is given a new trial.
"Until my court date, I'll be posting the outrageous & disgusting injustices used against me by the prosecution to get the conviction they so desperately wanted, despite the evidence they knew existed."
Open Letter
Despite the strong language Lanez used in the caption of his letter, the open letter itself was a lot tamer and not as demanding.
He began the letter by noting the DA's "stance" in regard to "fighting for the justice of Black and Brown minorities."
"Today I take a stance as an innocent Black Man, wrongfully convicted of a crime I did not commit," his letter read, before naming the two district attorneys who were involved in the trial.
He accused them of "unlawfully misusing their authority to hide and suppress any and all exculpatory evidence that exonerates [him], or furthers [his] innocence."
He added: "I was completely robbed and deprived of a fair trial."
Additionally, the letter also stated that Lanez' legal camp will be arguing a motion for a new trial on May 8.
"For 3 years, the prosecution has manipulated a false narrative, that has left me with no choice but to expose, and make aware, the practices, the behind-door deals, and the unjust system used to illegally convict me and countless other minorities."
Another Open Letter
While Lanez was fighting for a new trial, Thee Stallion also wrote an open letter of sorts about her ordeal with the convicted rapper.
She wrote in an essay, published in Elle magazine, that she views herself as a "survivor" as she had survived "the unimaginable."
Aside from her own pain and trauma, the "Body" rapper also sympathized with other Black women whose voices are not heard.
Thee Stallion then discussed her mental health, and how the incident caused her anxiety, but she also noted that she is in a "happier place."
"I'm ready to show everybody that all the dirt they threw at me didn't stick."
