This week saw Tory Lanez break his silence about allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot on night he was arrested for gun possession.

The Canadian star used the medium of surprise album ‘DAYSTAR’ to clap-back at the claim and, in the process, poured fuel on the raging fire of debate surrounding that fateful July 12 evening.

And while most remain firmly in the corner of Megan, some are being swayed.

It’s compelled a source close to the femcee to speak up and out about the alleged specifics of the incident.

Almost seventh months have passed since Louisville, KY healthcare worker Breonna Taylor was killed by police in a raid-gone-wrong.

And the international outcry remains sky-high this week, following news that none of the officers have been charged with murder or manslaughter in relation to her death.

One person who isn’t part of the furious mass is basketball legend Charles Barkley.

For, during TNT’s pregame coverage of the Western Conference Finals, he offered words that have rustled the feathers of many.

Tory Lanez broke his silence yesterday with the surprise release of new album ‘DAYSTAR.’

The LP and the content within are notable because they serve as his long-awaited response to allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot on July 12 – the same night he was arrested for gun possession (with the femcee in the car).

Despite the evidence (which includes Megan’s verbatim revelation that he pulled the trigger), Lanez used the project to deny the claims.

Feeding the the public’s appetite for more backstory on the matter, he used the length and breadth of the project to paint a picture of romance, jealousy, and chaos. As reported, Lanez clapped back at some of his musical peers too. 

With many still rejecting him, what does that mean for the album’s first week prospects?

A royal backlash indeed for legendary ‘Throne Room’ hitmaker CeCe Winans after the Gospel diva was among the celebrities featured in a President Donald Trump-ordered ad designed to reassure the country about the current administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

With the associated death toll at 204,000 at writing, Trump’s lax reaction to the health crisis has been widely criticized – a tide he was hoping to turn by teaming with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to launch a $300 million advertising campaign highlighting their reactive efforts.

To assist, HHS enlisted the likes of Dennis Quaid and Winans to reach audiences – a move that’s incited backlash for both participants, especially the latter.  So much so, the 12-time GRAMMY winner took to Twitter Friday (September 25) to defend her actions.
