Tory Lanez defended himself via social media after being accused of biting Roddy Ricch’s work. The outspoken artist, who often drops remixes and freestyles using popular instrumentals, was called out by Roddy for using the West Coast rapper’s “Ricch Forever” beat in a Fargo Fridays series song titled “Watch For Your Soul.”
“u can’t bite no harder than this,” Roddy wrote in an Instagram comment. “@torylanez i thought we was better than this.”
Tory responded, “I used your beat because I loved your version and wanted to tell my own story about my dog that got killed. I didn’t use anything of yours but a Beat (Millions of niggas go on other beats everyday).”
He then told Roddy he wanted to take the conversation off social media since they have each other’s phone numbers.
Tory’s desire to move the conversation away from social media didn’t stop him from elaborating about the creation of “Watch For Your Soul” though. In a separate Instagram post, he slammed claims of jacking Roddy’s style.
“I made this song about my dead homie … Idgaf what y’all niggas is talking bout right now,” he explained. “It really means nothing .. I went on @roddyricch beat cuz I got luv for his music . And his song . I even did certain things in the song to pay tribute/homage to his song and show love .. not for y’all to tell me Im biting someone who ain’t been in the game making PLATINUM records with THIS style for even half the time I have.”
He added, “One thing I want y’all to stop doing tho . Is acting as if my voice ain’t been the same for the last 9 years .. and that I don’t play a part in a lot of these new niggas sounds and styles . First time I met him he told me I inspired him . Y’all niggas can be funny man . But fuck it … let’s just enjoy the music.”

I don’t understand why Tory lanez thinks he is some big time artist ….am I missing something… playa, your platinum plaque is for two singles… not a fucking album.. check this out Daystar… slow it down a notch pimpin .. your catalog is not deep or good enough to be grandstanding on any other artist, period…
Thank you!!! Dude full of himself and dumb af buying out a store that dissed him. Nobody but dumb broads look out for this fool. As crappy as his platform is, I’m sad he has one… dudes a clown.
Isn’t tht the put tht woman first beat by Jaheim? Shit you young cats are fighting over a beat and both of y’all are talented ! We need to stop feeding the enemies any negativity and continue to progress and get tht bag ?! Focused on the crumbs left from a bag of chips but have the money to buy a whole isle at the grocery store makes no sense !#Freegame
It’s sampled from Alchemist/Guru/Dilated People’s “Worst come to Worst.” Notably, Ludacris used it on “When we were kids”, Raekwon on “Still Strugglin”, and a few more to include Jaheim.
