Tory Lanez’s trials extend beyond legal proceedings; they relate deeply to broader concerns about artistic autonomy in the music industry. While many witnessed the fallout between Lanez and established artists, particularly Jay-Z and his entity, Roc Nation, this aspect of the narrative often received less focus.

His desire to remain an independent artist disrupted the established order, prompting aggressive pushback from powerful entities determined to maintain control.
