Rapper Tory Lanez is making waves beyond the music charts, this time as the face of the most talked-about petition on Change.org. For three consecutive days, a petition calling for California Governor Gavin Newsom to grant Lanez a pardon has held the #1 trending spot on the platform, gathering over 250,000 signatures and sparking major conversation online.
Lanez, currently serving a prison sentence in connection to the 2020 shooting of fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion, has drawn vocal support from a growing number of high-profile figures in the entertainment world. Among those backing the petition are Grammy-winning rapper Drake, model and media personality Amber Rose, and R&B star Ty Dolla Sign.
The petition’s rapid rise and widespread celebrity endorsement have reignited debate over Lanez’s conviction and the broader implications of justice, celebrity, and public opinion.
