Tory Lanez has been releasing much frequently since being incarcerated but it may be a while before fans get new music from him as his prison cell was reportedly raided by prison guards and his studio equipment was seized.
Ceasar McDowell, one of Lanez’s legal reps, confirmed the news to TMZ, sharing that he was informed that California Correctional Institution are “strictly forbidden.”
In July, he announced to fans that he would be dropping music every week behind bars.
“After about 20-something to 30-something f-ck-ups and mistakes, me and my engineer have finally figured out how to record music over the jail phone and still keep the quality as professional as I had it on the street,” he said in a recorded call posted to his Instagram at the time. “It’s over. I done cracked the f-cking code, man. This means that not even these prison walls can stop me from dropping new music. It’s crazy.”
Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, was sentenced in August to 10 years in prison after being convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.
