Tory Lanez has reportedly posted $350,000 bail and been released from custody. The Canadian artist was remanded in a Los Angeles courtroom on Tuesday (April 5) for violating a protective order in the Megan Thee Stallion felony assault case.
According to a tweet from Rolling Stone reporter Nancy Dillion, Lanez hopped into a waiting Lamborghini and sped away while giving off the impression he wasn’t bothered by the sudden turn of events in court.
“Tory Lanez just released from custody,” Dillon wrote. “He climbed in driver’s seat of waiting Lamborghini and drove off. Said he was feeling ‘amazing.'”

In another tweet, Dillion explained, “Bail bondsman just left after posting the new $350,000 amount, an increase from $250,000. Lanez should be released soon. His father still waiting outside courtroom. This all happens in courthouse.
Several tweets from Tory Lanez were determined to be in violation of the criminal protective order set against him. After roughly an hour of arguments, Judge David Herriford found Lanez’s social media activity had “clearly” targeted Megan Thee Stallion. The tweet that appeared to be the cause of his detainment was posted on February 23 and read, “Good D*ick had me fucking 2 best friends … and I got caught … that’s what I apologized for … it’s sick how u Spun it tho.”

Tory Lanez Eviscerated On Twitter After He's Locked Up At Megan Thee Stallion Court Hearing
Lanez has maintained his innocence since July 2020 when the shooting took place. But Megan posted text messages from Lanez apologizing, which he said was about sleeping with Megan’s best friend — not shooting her. Judge Herriford added an additional condition to Lanez’s release, barring him from mentioning Megan Thee Stallion at all. The trial is scheduled to get underway on September 14 when both parties are expected back in court.
