This arrives after Instagram blocked the Instagram Live series for a few days as its honcho explained, 'you can't have nudity on Instagram. That's part of our community guidelines, it's part of the rules.'

AceShowbiz - Tory Lanez's popular Instagram Live series "Quarantine Radio" may be coming to the small screen. The "Chixtape 5" rapper revealed in a new interview with Billboard that MTV approached him to offer him a deal for the show.
"MTV offered me something like a little 30-minute segment, but I don't know what I want to do," he shared. "But I want it to be something that the fans decide. If I end up coming up with an idea for it, hopefully, it'll be on MTV."
"Quarantine Radio" is indeed a huge success as it brings entertainment for everyone amid Coronavirus lockdown. It garnered so much attention as his 5-min interview with Drake pulled in 300K users tuning in at the same time. In addition to interviews, the Instagram Live show features twerk sessions, contests and celebrity cameos.
Despite the success, Tory was forced to take a break from it after Instagram blocked her show earlier this month. Speaking to The Shade Room in an Instagram Live interview, head of Instagram Adam Mosseri shared on Wednesday, April 8, " 'Quarantine Radio' is great, so shout out to Tory Lanez for that." He continued, "The lives have been great, the lives with the fans have been great."
In the comment section, the Canadian rapper chimed in, "I JUST WANNA BE FREE ADAM." Adam didn't seem to notice as he went on explaining, "But you can't have nudity on Instagram. That's part of our community guidelines, it's part of the rules and we can't make exceptions."
"And on a couple of those lives, on two accounts, there was nudity so we had to stop the live. There's a short period of time where you can't go live again. We have to stick to the rules otherwise why do we have them?" he continued. "But generally, big fan of Tory Lanez, big fan of Quarantine Radio. I hope it comes back soon, but no nudity! We can't have that."
Tory wasn't satisfied with the answer. "THAT'S CAP," he alleged in another comment. "Cmooooooon MAAAAAYNE."
Tory shared on Tuesday, April 7 a screenshot of warning that he reveiced from the photo-sharing site when he was about to go on Instagram Live. "Based on previous use of this feature, your account has been temporarily blocked from taking this action. This block will expire on 2020-04-14. We restrict certain content and actions to protect our community. Tell us if you think we made a mistake," read the warning.
"350K I can't go on right now they won't let me. .... THEY DIDNT WANT ME TO WIN DAMN B," so Tory captioned the snap. He added in the comment section, "THAT GUMMY BEAR WAS TOO MUCH I GUESS," referring to a fan who deep-throated the world's largest gummy bear on his previous Instagram Live.
