Tory Lanez briefly regretted declaring himself the “best rapper alive” but not enough to stick by his apology.
After giving himself the crown earlier this year, the Canadian artist apologized for his bold claim via Twitter before quickly deleting his mea culpa on Tuesday (April 7).
“Lol yo I’m sorry for the time I said ‘Im the best rapper alive,'” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “even if I feel that way about myself . It’s a dumbass statment . And even though I’m always ready to stand behind my talent . It made me look like a dickhead . And I’m truly not that. so yeah . My bad lmao.”
Lanez made his original “best rapper alive” comments in a series of Twitter posts in late January. His social media rant also included some jabs at J. Cole and Pusha T.
“Don’t tell me nothing about Cole or Pusha T Either,” he wrote in one tweet. “some of my favorite rappers but ….. I gave them both an equal opportunity to go bar for bar with me . And they weren’t READY.”
Lanez’s social media antics have only gotten wilder in subsequent months, particularly since the coronavirus pandemic changed the daily lives of people around the world.

His Instagram Live sessions, which he’s named Quarantine Radio, have turned into a haven for twerking exhibitions and more explicit behavior in recent weeks. The raunchy Instagram exploits resulted in him being temporarily banned from livestreaming.
Once the ban was handed down, Lanez tried to get around it by creating a whole new account. He’s scheduled to get his streaming privileges back on April 14.

Push ain’t going bar for bar lol. He a one dimensional rapper and his subject matter fictional. Go for an Mc with depth boss
He’s actually a versatile artist, given the flow, r&B vibes and melodies….but, you’re right, his subject matter is WAF!!! There is definitely (usually) no substance, but this is a bigger issue in hip hop in general. I do get tired of push’s consistent cocaine content bars as well; like dude you’re 42, and have not touched coke since you were 17. However, his word play is phenomenal nonetheless.
This Tory kid saying he is the greatest follo3d by some other kid using the word depth in association with said kid.
Time to pour some Henny White and fire up some Chef, Ghost, Hus Kingpin, Passport Rav, KRS or G Rap.
You don’t even believe that
Some people are diluded..they live in their own world. It wouldn’t be so bad if he had done a few hip hop albums. Then you could judge but he’s not achieved that. So the best rapper alive without any real body of work. That’s crazy.
He’s a singer, not a rapper.
Nowadays, there’s essentially no difference. And that’s a HUGE fucking problem….
He ain’t even on my level, ima let my lil homies ride on this bitch made ass nigga
At least you gotta respect him for trying. Very few of your favorite rappers are willing to battle nowadays. Tory knows short of Jay, Nas & Kendrick, very few can mess with him on the mic.
Rather you admit it or not lyrically no MC on this planet is better than Lupe(Check out the song MURALS). I’m pretty sure Lupe would have bodied him if he went that direction.
Lupe is top 5 lyricist of all time no doubt
I read this and really thought I made this comment in my sleep or some shit
One of the biggest clowns on Earth, number one is was a dumb statement to begin with but who tweets and then deletes an apology? thats borderline insane
Who??
This man on the best molly ever. He need to say that shit with his chest and do like 2 rap albums. No need to apologize or get deleted.
Chris brown raps really well even though he’s not a rapper and his lyrics really deep, he’s the most amazing voice even when talking bout pxxxy such a romantic womaniser, his top hit was Rihanna lol
Why post then delete? Ever heard of J-RICH, Smoking Ink, Mr.FlipStar … to name a few & Drake.
