Tory Lanez is staying busy in the house spending hours on Instagram Live with his celebrity friends and dropping new music, amid the COVID-19 coronavirus bringing everyone to a halt.
“Y’all Know I ain’t letting CORONA stop me dropping [music] !!!! he wrote on Instagram.
To hold us over until his New Toronto 3 album, Tory Lanez put in his gold grills for his music video for “W.” On the new single, he talks about his highs and lows in life before the money and fame, which he uses as inspiration on the road to success.
“So many people know my pockets it’s like my stash famous/I remember being so broke, shit I ain’t wanna have no babies,” he raps.
The single’s cover art, which he also posted to Instagram, features his son wearing a Toronto chain. “One of my realest verses. And yes that’s my son on the cover THUGGIN! Lol,” he wrote.
Taking a few notes from DJ D Nice, the Toronto rapper hosted “Quarantine Radio” on Instagram Live Tuesday. He spent hours entertaining his 5.9 million followers, jamming out to Panic at the Disco’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” with Bryson Tiller. Justin Combs and Chris Brown checked in to show love and share how much they enjoyed the content.
The show wasn’t over until Lanez hosted a quarantine twerk contest, playing twerk anthems like City Girls‘ “Act Up,” and Choppa’s “Choppa Style.” Women who didn’t want to twerk had to show their other talents, unlike one unlucky woman who was kicked off Live for apparently having no talent.
