Supporters are standing on the belief that Tory’s legal team got something real. They recently dropped claims of new evidence they say proves Tory ain’t the one who pulled that trigger. According to them, the real shooter might be Kelsey Harris’ bodyguard or driver. Allegedly, one of them saw Kelsey shoot Meg.
This wild twist is now making folks revisit everything they thought they knew about the case. And the buzz ain’t just staying on Twitter or in barbershop convos—it’s now hitting political circles too.

Anna Paulina Luna Puts Pressure On Gavin Newsom To Pardon Tory Lanez
The drama even reached the political arena, with a congresswoman dropping a fiery message directed at California’s governor on Twitter.
Republican Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna urged Gavin Newsom to grant a pardon to the incarcerated rapper and singer.
“I am calling on Gov. Newsom @CAgovernor to review Tory Lanez’s case and issue a pardon,” Representative Luna wrote. “His 10-year sentence was based on flawed evidence, political pressure, and prosecutorial bias. Justice must be blind – not driven by headlines. Free Tory Lanez.”
That tweet made waves, especially in a culture where politicians rarely speak on hip-hop artists—let alone fight for one behind bars. Her tweet got thousands of shares and sparked a new convo on social media about fairness in the justice system and how much influence politics plays in celebrity trials.
Could Newsom Really Pardon Tory Lanez?
So, now folks wanna know—can Governor Newsom really pardon Tory?
Short answer: Yes.
As the governor of California, Newsom has the legal power to pardon anyone. But it ain’t that simple. There’s a formal process that involves reviewing the case, looking at new evidence, and sometimes recommendations from a parole board.
Still, this ain’t the first time a governor faced pressure to revisit a controversial case, and it definitely won’t be the last.
But the bigger question remains: will Newsom listen?
Lanez has already been denied appeals. But if political voices like Luna’s keep getting louder—and if more people in power start speaking out—there’s a chance this story could take a whole new direction.
Hip-Hop’s Divide: Megan Thee Stallion vs. Tory Lanez
This ain’t just about politics or courtrooms—this has always been a cultural war too. From day one, the Megan Thee Stallion vs. Tory Lanez saga split hip-hop down the middle.
Some still fully stand with Meg, believing her testimony and the court’s decision. Others feel like Tory was made a scapegoat—railroaded by the media, bias, and a rush to judgment.
Over the last year, celebrities have also chimed in. Chris Brown and Iggy Azalea showed support for Tory. Meanwhile, artists like Kehlani and JoJo distanced themselves when the smoke first hit.
And now, seeing a Republican woman from Florida jumping into the debate? Yeah, that shook the table.
