Tory Lanez’s Father Says Son Is Innocent Of Megan Thee Stallion Shooting

It’s expected that when a child gets themselves into trouble, their parents will be there to help. Following the July shooting incident involving Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion, Lanez has been blackballed by many media outlets and artists. Megan Thee Stallion came forward to name Tory as the person who shot her, but on his recently released album Daystar, Lanez insists that he isn’t the person responsible for injuring Megan and has since accused her team of setting him up to take the fall. There haven’t been many other artists or entertainers who have come forward to defend Lanez in recent months, but yesterday (September 29), the singer’s father Sonstar Peterson participated in an interview where he declared his son’s innocence.

During the conversation—a discussion that lasted over an hour—Sonstar, who has been in ministry for 40 years, condemned publications for speaking negatively about his son. “You would go to that extent to put your blog or your magazine out there to see something that… but I’m saying that they’re doing it for one reason and one reason only. ‘Cause here is a young man who is not going to back down. We have seen what the industry has done other Black young men.”

Sonstar brought up the recent controversy that Nick Cannon faced and how the media mogul lost a longtime deal because of his remarks, and mentioned Drake possibly going independent and collapsing the music industry. “This is not a Megan-Tory thing. That’s just the billboard advertising so that they can change our opinion or our attention to some other direction,” he added. “This is much bigger than Megan and Tory. This is first started out as Tory versus the industry. Now, it’s taking on a life of their own and they’re scared of it because Black folks are waking up. Before the 26th of September, most people had Tory crucified. He’s guilty, he’s whatever. They did not expect what was about to happen, and now the tone of popular opinion is shifting.

“There have been a lot of lies that have already been told,” Sonstar said, before naming off publications that have spoken to “sources” who have said that Tory was the shooter. “I think a lot of these people, be it TIME magazine who put Megan on their front cover as the most influential person fo the year and then put Tory in another page as being the poster child for how to block troublesome artists on your Spotify. I want y’all to know very clearly: This game ain’t over yet. When the stuff really starts to come out of the closet, they will realize who was right, who was wrong.”

Mister Motivation is making waves with his new single “For The Love of Women”

The new single from Mister Motivation, ”For The Love of Women”, isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem that combines lyrical, soulful hip-hop with heartfelt, raw content! This newest release puts the woman at the center, an ode to her strength, grace, and contribution to the world. But it’s also a call to action, challenging listeners to think about how we all can show up better in relationships and society.

You can hear it from the first beat, ”For the Love of Women” is a rollercoaster of rhythm and meaning. Mister Motivation sings the chorus with his smooth and convincing vocals, while his verses touch on the relevancy of love, give-and-take, and spiritual synergy in relationships. A lot of thought and love went into making this track as a tribute to the women we love and support daily. ”For the Love of Women” message is clear: love is not only fulfilled love but respectful; it goes beyond, it is about equality and the two of us growing together. ”For The Love of Women” seamless blend of music fulfilling its purpose. The song does not simply bemoan women generally but encourages men and women to think about the way they conduct themselves in relationships and how they can present a specific, transforming love. It’s a soulful nudge that in any relationship, the giving and receiving of love should be balanced and mutual.

Besides packing a punch wherever it’s played, the track also promotes something near Mister Motivation’s heart. ”For the Love of Women” is in partnership with F.L.O.W. (For the Love of Women), a non-profit organization committed to bringing awareness to period poverty. This effort focuses on a health issue impacting millions of women worldwide and underscores a basic need and dignity that should be accessible to all women.

With that release, Mister Motivation not only gifted the world with an infectious anthem of positivity but also used his platform to amplify the message of those fighting to make a change. ”For the Love of Women” is a tribute to both uplifting women and fighting period poverty. ”For the Love of Women” is essential whether you are interested in hearing some music from the soul or looking to do good. It finds its music in the stars. It’s purposed music, and Mister Motivation has again crafted something that features a voice that means something and cannot be shaken loose from memory.

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day delivers a haunting protest anthem ‘’The Highway’’

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day’s newest release, “The Highway,” is a gut punch. It is raw, self-reflective, and unapologetically human in a world of fabricated creators. Rage-fueled and visceral, Day pours all its disillusionment and fear into the track (recorded on election night in the U.S.), which doubles as personal catharsis and political protest. The feelings are not abstruse; they’re strewn across practically every lyric and layered beat.

The timing of “The Highway,” creation is no accident, it was penned when a nation made the choice, once more, to crown a leader the songwriter couldn’t bear. The result? A sonic snapshot of anxiety, resistance, and that yearning desire to bolt. But this is not just another protest song. What is particularly provocative about “The Highway” is who’s playing it. Or, more accurately, what? Imaginary Voices of Alex Day, the band that created the track, is entirely AI-powered, and that might be unsettling for some people, and that’s fine. Day welcomes it.

“The Highway” juxtaposes haunting synths with echoing guitar licks and a pulse that pounds like a racing heart. The vocals born of code have a surprising level of pathos as if the machines have learned to mourn. Lyrically, the song strays back and forth between hopelessness and resolve, teetering between yearning to flee and the necessity of taking a stand. This is not just a single; it’s a statement. It raises an eerie question: Can you protest if your sound is a meld of man and machine? And more to the point, does that mean your cry for help is any less valid?

“The Highway” isn’t for everyone. But for the invested, who continue to come to terms with the soul-splitting chaos of modern politics and the increasing prevalence of AI in art, it’s a fascinating, emotional listen. Alex Day doesn’t provide simple solutions, though he’s certainly asking the right questions.
