AceShowbiz - Tory Lanez has announced that his "Prison Tapes" series has been suspended "until further notice." In a statement posted on Instagram, Lanez revealed that his cell was raided and his audio recording equipment confiscated by prison guards.

Lanez claims that his cell was not raided because he violated prison rules by recording music but because prison authorities realized the impact of his "Prison Tapes" on inmates. He alleges that he was shut down because the tapes were providing legal assistance to inmates.

Lanez stated that he had gone through the prison system to witness the oppression faced by young black and brown people. He claims to have developed a plan to use his music to provide legal aid to fellow inmates.

According to Lanez, he has already provided legal representation for 472 inmates and reopened 476 cases with the help of the legal firm Unite the People. He described this effort as "The Hands of God Project".

In July, Lanez announced that he had found a way to record music from behind bars and promised to release weekly music. He has since released numerous singles, including "580 Benz", "F&V" and "Cell 245".

Lanez expressed his determination to continue his mission despite the raid and confiscation. He warned that if anything happened to him, it would be because he was trying to "revolutionize the end of a mass incarceration era."

Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for his involvement in the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. He was found guilty on three charges, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Lanez has requested a new trial based on an affidavit from his driver but has been denied.
