Iggy Azalea Reportedly Wrote To Judge In Support Of Tory Lanez, Twitter Reacts

Iggy Azalea and Tory Lanez were reportedly hanging out with one another prior to the Megan Thee Stallion trial. Overall, some felt like this was a bit strange. After all, some thought it would be odd for Iggy to support Tory so publically amid such a huge scandal. Either way, it seemed as though their friendship had drifted apart as he began going to court. Subsequently, he was convicted of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting which has led to months of anticipation for his sentencing. The sentencing has been delayed on numerous occasions, however, today, it is finally taking place.

According to Meghann Cuniff, the courtroom is packed today, and many are making statements prior to the judge’s decision. As Cuniff reports, Judge Harriford received a number of letters. These letters were in support of Tory Lanez, who is facing 13 years in prison. Overall, more than 70 letters were submitted, and one of them came from none other than Iggy Azalea. It has not been stated what the letter says, although we do know that she submitted one.

Iggy Azalea Reaches Out On Tory’s Behalf

Alright we are on the 90-minute break. Judge Herriford got 70+ letters of support for Tory Lanez, including one from @IggyAzalea. He briefly summarized each one. Two jailers wrote letters, one spoke in court. Lanez' father, Sonstar Peterson, was the last speaker before the break.

I haven't seen the letters yet, but most interesting to me was Herriford saying a jailer wrote a letter that says Lanez "is remorseful" and has "talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it."

It's the closest we've ever come to Lanez saying he did.

Moreover, it was revealed that some prisoners have said that Tory Lanez is showing remorse in prison. He also “talked in detail about the event and what he could have done to prevent it.” These are all very interesting revelations that could have a huge implication on his sentence. However, it is clear that Twitter is preoccupied with Iggy Azalea and her letter. “Iggy Azalea is a disgusting person. F*ck her & those other people who rallied behind this nasty man. This is so disgusting,” one person wrote. “They can deport Iggy Azalea’s nasty ass too!” said another.

Leonard Cohen Estate Criticizes Trump For Using "Hallelujah" Without Permission

Leonard Cohen's Estate has criticized Donald Trump after the late singer's iconic song Hallelujah was played at one of the president's rallies without permission.

The beloved folk classic accompanied a B 2 Bomber flyover during the Great American State Fair on Tuesday (24.06.26), an event held to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

In response, the estate shared a statement on social media that read: “The Leonard Cohen Estate has learned that the song Hallelujah is to be performed at a Donald Trump rally on June 24.

“This use is not authorized, and the Estate does not support or approve of this or any similar usage.

"Thank you for your attention to this matter."

This is not the first time the song has become part of a political dispute. In 2024, Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah was also played at a Trump rally without authorization.

Reacting at the time, he said: “The song Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen has become an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth.

“I’ve been supremely honored over the years to be connected with this ode to tolerance. Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy.”

A number of artists have previously objected to their music being used by Trump's administration without their approval.

Ariana Grande was among the latest to respond after her song Bye appeared in a TikTok video promoting immigration arrests in the United States.

The video, which was shared earlier this month, showed ICE agents detaining and handcuffing people while Ariana's track played in the background.

Its caption read: “Bye-bye. President Trump has delivered the most secure border in history.”

Ariana responded in a comment that was later deleted, writing: “Please do not ever use my music in relation to this barbaric, inhumane, heinous nonsense. F*** ICE.”

Her representatives later confirmed to Variety that the comment was authentic, even though it has since been removed from public view.

The TikTok video has also had its audio removed and now displays the message: “This sound isn’t available.”

A spokesperson for the White House defended the post, saying: “What’s actually barbaric, inhumane, and heinous are the criminal illegal aliens who have injured and murdered innocent American citizens.”
