Tory Lanez may have earned critical acclaim aplenty for his latest album, the September 30-released ‘Sorry 4 What,’ but it appears that fanfare for the project isn’t being mirrored commercially.
Details inside.
The embattled Canadian hitmaker may currently be under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department for his reported role in shooting fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion and later allegedly assaulting R&B singer August Alsina, but the Billboard 200 top 10 entry of ‘Sorry’ suggested the negative press was having minimal impact.
That is, until peruse of the same chart just two weeks later saw ‘What’ nowhere to be found. In fact, the trend of short-term chart tenancy is one that’s afflicted every Lanez project released since summer 2020 (when Stallion’s shooting was first reported). Before the incident, Tory’s Billboard 200-charting efforts averaged 3-4 month runs on the tally. Post-incident, his longest last on the hit list- 2020’s ‘Daystar’ album – only stayed 3 weeks.
‘Sorry’ marks his third consecutive project to remain on the chart for less than 3 weeks and follows the ‘Playboy’ mixtape (1 week of charting) and the ‘Alone at Prom’ album (2 weeks of charting) – both released in 2021.
The news comes just days after a judge ordered Tory to house arrest and electronic monitoring until the Stallion trial starts.
Now shoot that!
Ppl trying to cancel Kanye but they Kool with Tory. Ye had mental breakdown. It may be true he shot Megan cuz he thought that she was a man. She was swinging on him in the car. The industry has a lot of fake stuff going around. No disrespect
🤭👏🏻🙏🏻
He’s culpable for his actions, actin shady to his brothers and sisters tryna act white and sh*t
Thats what u get for being a leprechaun
What does his size matter when he is the shooter.
But how is Megan Thee T***** Album doing?
Megan Thee stallion is a pretty woman. U a ugly fat American b****.
You must’ve mistaken me for your mom.
I hope his house arrest stay is ordered to be in Canada.
We have enough criminals here stateside already.
Keep this leprechaun c*** away from the public.
