Tory Lanez
The multi-city Not on "Tor" tour will feature DJs, special guests and music from the rapper's catalogue and make stops in Toronto and Montreal. The rapper will not be there himself, as he continues to a ten-year prison sentence on felony charges stemming from a 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
Tory Lanez is hitting the road from behind bars.
The Brampton-born rapper and singer has announced his Not On "Tor" tour, a multi-city experience that will bring his music into a live setting and connect fans to his catalogue while he continues to serve his ten-year prison sentence on felony assault charges. Kicking off on Sept. 25 with five dates across the U.S., the trek will also make two Canadian stops in Montreal and Toronto, whose details have been saved for a forthcoming special announcement.
"Clearly you can't get all of that, but you can get this though," the rapper says in a voice note featured in a promotional video for the trek.
The tour kicks off in New York with a five-hour event billed as a "listening experience" with "Tory Lanez & Friends," which will also feature venue-exclusive merchandise, including designs related to his latest LP Made You Think I Was Gone ...But. The effort reached the top 25 of the Billboard Canadian Albums chart following its July 2026 release, entering at No. 23. Lanez has achieved major success on the Billboard Canada charts over the years, topping the Billboard Canadian Albums chart twice with Memories Don't Die in 2018 and The New Toronto 3 in 2020, plus a top 5 entry on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 in 2020 with his appearance on the remix of Jack Harlow's "What's Poppin" (No. 4).
Tory Lanez is currently serving a ten-year prison bid after being sentenced on three felony assault counts in Aug. 2023 for shooting Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the feet following a heated dispute in Los Angeles in July 2020. Turmoil has continued beyond the sentencing, with Lanez being held in contempt of court during 2025 proceedings for a civil lawsuit filed by Megan The Stallion against YouTube personality Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper), in which she alleged that Cooper and the rapper conspired on a “coordinated campaign” with Lanez to “defame and delegitimize" her. Previous attempts at a deposition with the rapper reportedly went so bad that they were cut short.
Earlier in 2025, the nonprofit organization Unite the People presented claims of new evidence on Lanez's behalf that supposedly deemed the Brampton rapper innocent, which were swiftly denied by Megan Thee Stallion's legal team. Just days earlier, the rapper was the victim of a prison stabbing that left him with severe injuries including two collapsed lungs, from which since he has recovered. In Nov. 2025, his appeal of the ten-year sentence was formally rejected.
