Embattled Rap star Tory Lanez, who is currently embroiled in scandal due to an arrest for gun possession and allegedly shooting fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion in both feet (click here to read more), had remained surprisingly mum in the two months that followed the July incident despite widespread criticism.
His answer to weeks of calls for an official response came via a surprise album, the self-titled ‘Daystar’ (released September 25). Via tracks found on the effort, the 28-year-old not only proclaimed his innocence but also clapped back at a number of artists who opted to support Stallion instead of him.
Initially predicted to move up to 50,000 units its first-week (as we reported here), the new album not only failed to meet industry analysts’ lowest predictions for its opening commercial performance but also comes as his lowest first-week sales to date (among studio albums).
Details inside:
Tory Lanez’ ‘Daystar’
First Week Sales (SPS): 36,000
First Week Sales (Pure): 2,000
First Week Billboard 200 Placement: #10
Overall, ‘Daystar’ – his first release on an independent imprint – may be accompanied by the lowest first-week figures to date among his LPs but its #10 premiere keeps his career record in tact.
Lanez now boasts six consecutive top 10 debuts (among all studio albums, official EPs, and commercial mixtapes) to his credit as ‘Daystar’ follows April 2020’s ‘The New Toronto 3,’ which premiered at #2 on the Billboard 200.

Your favs DL boyfriend shawn mendes was also on that list so I’m confused why you’re all up in here acting high and mighty you think people don’t read past dua lipa name? You never cease to amaze at how intellectually inept you are. Frothing at the mouth to expose dua whilst shawn is being exposed at the same damn time? Where they do that at…
Gurl bye. Tofu bish. U had cancelled million years ago. 💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️💁🏿♀️ Don’t coming for my hot babe Shawn. Don’t mess with the pop king. U wish u could worship these piece of fine white fresh young meat. Sorry hun, U just deserved some rotten dead rat meat💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
Shawn was on the list and? I dont stan shawn.
U are dull
Just because Camila is dating shawn doesnt mean I care about him
Ur brain didnt fully develop in ur w***** mother womb that’s why u are so dumb and unintelligent
Camila wasnt on the list
Cardi wasnt on the list
Two artists u guys falsely accuse every day of using payola.
U mad or nah? Stay mad UGLY.😌
I could careless about cumilla she is a has been two years into her career. You don’t Stan shawn but he gave your lopsided fav her biggest hit and a short extension to her already dead career. Didn’t she use his single to boost her album sales? Your card has been called stop throwing dua name around. You conveniently didn’t post his name when you listed all the celebs who are being accused In your previous post… why is that if you’re not at least a fan? You think you’re smart but you’re not. You thought you came up in here with an ace only to show a joker. But that just about sums up your whole sad existence. I’m not mad i checked you with finesse… didn’t even sweat.
U could care less about Camila but here u are writing essays and articles about her.
Essays that’s dont even make no sense
Look at me thinking onlyflops was the only dùmb idì0t on this blog.
U should hold the L
🤡🤡🤡
Essays boo if that’s an essay to you, you only further prove your limited intelligence. You’ve been checked and dismissed. Now go back to fingering the refresh button.
Love, u have written 3 whole comments using a total of 900 words, that’s an essay .
😂😂😂
More than 10 paragraphs. Lol that’s an essay child.
U are pressed
My comments upset u and that brings me joy. Lol
Seeing u mad and sad. Lol
Camila will continue winning and ugly clowns like u will continue to deal .
I have put u in ur place again.
Now hold the L
Another day , another L for u
😂
Tyty dragged Clarkson to the depths of hell. He thought he was doing something yet Shawn used payola for Senorita which was listed in the article. Therefore, Camila is a product of payola. He always self drags and shows how foolish he is. Clearly he’s still learning
@#WAP…he sure did and we LOVE to see it! 👍🏻👍🏻🙌🏻💁🏼♀️
Why don’t you note that this alleged mess also says the artists themselves had nothing to do with it..so there you go again looking dumb per usual you mentally ill lunatic who’s obsessed with Normani and Dua Lipa. Go listen to Camilas last single which you said would top the charts lol
Booioooooooooooooooooooooo
Gurl….
I think this is actually pretty good all things considered. Half of his fan base turned on him and he had no single leading up to the release of the project.
That’s savage…
How an attempted murder sell more than the murderess #flop7. How tragic!
*attempted MURDERER
Hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha
TyTy just drug Clarkson by the pigtails
Monica4Life did the other week as well
The pyscho stan continues to take Ls. I truly love to see it

Tory is innocent !!
He was only trying to get the gun out of Megan’s hands ,
Meg was trying to shoot him cause she was jealous and embarrassed of Kylie and Him flirting in the pool .
She needs to stop sniffing and drinking at the same time !!!
Tory has more talent than Megan ever will , she is blackmailing men to get famous !!!! Payola on Jay-Z dime !! Beyoncé shouldn’t trust that horsey !!
Yall have to realize hes independent. When your independent your going to sell less the. Having a major label, but his 37k sells will pay him as if he went platinum on a major. You make more money independent….. wakw up folks
