Controversial Rapper Tory Lanez Remains on Rolling Loud Despite Being in Jail

/ 09:51 AM March 01, 2023

The decision to keep Tory Lanez on the Rolling Loud lineup has garnered mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.

Tory Lanez’s legal team either has something in the works to get him out of jail by this weekend, or the organizing team at Rolling Loud is oblivious to his current predicament.

Some argue that Lanez deserves a chance to perform and showcase his talents, while others believe the festival should distance itself from the rapper and his actions.

The rapper was in court on Tuesday in LA, where the court pushed his sentencing hearing yet again, this time to April 10.

After the hearing, Tory, dressed in prison clothing, remained in custody without attempting to convince the judge to release him on bail.

Some say that he may still perform, but with him being a high-profile celebrity, he may be released just for that day.

On the other hand, it can be when the actual set times for the artists are released, his name will be left entirely out.

However, it is still odd that his name is still on the flier, considering he was found guilty in December.

Lanez’s critics argue that his alleged actions are too serious to ignore and that Rolling Loud should not be associating with someone accused of domestic violence.

Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out against Lanez, calling his actions “wildly disappointing” and “hurtful.”

Some have called for a boycott of Rolling Loud or for the festival to remove Lanez from the lineup.

However, there is fine print on Rolling Loud’s site to cover Lanez becoming a no-show. It states that “Opening acts and festival performers are subject to cancellation or change at any time without notice.

The statement added, “No refund will be owed if a festival performer or opening act is canceled or changed.”

The artist faces up to 22 years in prison. However, his attorney, David Kenner, said outside the court on Tuesday that the artist is holding up well. He offered little more detail on their efforts to get him out on appeal.

The controversy surrounding Lanez and Rolling Loud highlights the complex issues of accountability, redemption, and cancel culture.

While holding individuals accountable for their actions is important, it is also essential to recognize the nuances and complexities of each situation.

Rolling Loud’s decision to keep Lanez on the lineup is not necessarily an endorsement of his actions. Nor is it a dismissal of the seriousness of the allegations against him.

Instead, it is a recognition that Lanez is a famous artist with a significant following. In addition, his inclusion on the lineup reflects the tastes and preferences of a large segment of the festival’s audience.

Ultimately, it’s up to each individual to decide whether they want to support Tory Lanez and Rolling Loud.

Some may boycott the festival or protest Lanez’s presence, while others may attend and enjoy the performances. 

Regardless of one’s personal feelings, it is clear that the controversy surrounding Tory Lanez is not going away anytime soon.
