Tory plays Santa Claus for the needy
Dressed in a Santa hat and face mask, he pulled up and donated $100,000 in gifts. The gifts included bikes, Barbies, lightsabers, LEGOs, and other cool toys, TMZ reports. Lanez also handed out snacks and conversed with those he donated items to, pretty dope.
He took to Twitter to express his gratitude to TMZ for reporting his good deed saying,

“Look how long this line is. The whole Broward Boulevard on State Road 7 is backed up,” he said in his Instagram stories. “We here. It’s a huge success and I’m just happy that we could spread love and light to people who don’t have on Christmas day.”
Lanez continued saying he’s happy that his money went toward something impactful rather than a diamond necklace.
“It’s just good to give back and I’m just happy that my $100,000 could go into something that’s more meaningful than a chain…”
In the video, he also made it a point to mention that everything is “Covid safe” during the giveaway.
Tory’s battle with the law
Tory Lanez shows no sign of letting the drama surrounding his name stop him. The rapper is consistently in the media for his case with Megan Thee Stallion. He allegedly shot Megan in the foot, leading to gun and felony assault charges. His trial is scheduled to start on January 13, 2022.
The Rapper Brings Us a New Album and New Visuals
On a lighter note, Lanez is enjoying the fruits of his labor. His new album, Alone at Prom, was released on December 10th. The album is an ode to the 1980s, with slow tracks that sound like the era. It debuted at No. 59 on the Billboard 200 charts. Check out his video for the song “’87 Stingray” from Alone at Prom below.
