MD Motivator Explains Photo With Tory
After The Shade Room reposted the FaceTime call photo, social media users jumped in with mixed reactions. There were questions about what the rapper and kindness influencer had to talk about. Tory Lanez is serving a 10-year-prison sentence in connection to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. He’s behind bars on three felony charges and last year lost a bid to overturn his conviction. Earlier this year, Lanez filed a $100 million lawsuit against California correctional officials, saying the prison officials failed to keep him safe, resulting in his May 2025 stabbing.
All this in context, Tory Lanez’s and his conviction have been polarizing topics over the years. Fans and sometimes publications often choose sides: Team Free Tory or Team Protect Megan Thee Stallion. That in view, MD Motivator slid into TSR’s space and cleared the air on his intentions with the digital link. He first explained that he’s known the rapper for “years” and he intends to work with him on a holiday project.
“I’ve known Tory for years. He’s always been such a light and incredible human. We are about to do something special together for deserving families this holiday season. Everyone deserves unconditional love. Be kind and love always ❤️”
