Tory Lanez Capes for Drake Despite Their Rocky Past
Tory Lanez and Drake have a rocky past, which saw the Canadian artists at odds for several years in the 2010s. In 2010, when both rappers were newbies, Tory made Drake an offer that he would pay The Boy $10,000 if Drake listened to his music and didn’t like it. Drizzy ignored him. Fast-forward five years and Tory began taking shots at Drake. The OVO head honcho returned fire the following year on the tracks “Summer Sixteen,” “Blow” and “Round Here.” Tory followed suit.
The two rappers ended their beef in May of 2017 following a one-on-one phone call. More recently, Drake has been showing support for Tory Lanez amid his legal issues for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
