Tory Lanez’s Father Calls Conviction a ‘Miscarriage of Justice’: Calls Out Roc Nation and Jay-Z

And, just so we're clear: what does Hov have to do with any of this?

As Tory Lanez was being taken into custody in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, (much to his chagrin, Iโ€™m sure), there were a few other unhappy campers in the courtroom. Namely, Tory, Sr. also known as Sonstar Peterson, father of Daystar, or Tory Lanez.

In camera footage obtained by The Shade Room, Sonstar is seen walking out of the courtroom and straight into the lionโ€™s den of reporters, eagerly awaiting the emotional statement he was to deliver.

โ€œYou wanna know exactly how Iโ€™m feeling?โ€ he shouted as he walked directly towards the cameras. โ€œI just stood here, in this Los Angeles County, and witnessed the worst miscarriage of justice this world has ever seen.โ€ Peterson was surrounded by other members of Lanezโ€™ family. All of whom were visibly upset following the announcement of the guilty verdict in the felony assault trial between Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, and Daystar Peterson.

โ€œYou wanna know exactly how I feel? I got some names I wanna call out.โ€ Lanezโ€™ father continued. โ€œAlex Sipiro, Desiree Perez, and the whole wicked system of Roc Nation, including you Jay-Z.โ€ While rapper Megan Thee Stallion is signed to label 1501 Certified, she is managed by Roc Nation, which is how the statement eventually came around to its founder.

โ€œYou who say you rose from the gutter, but you have traded and bargained, and tortured the souls of young men, and youโ€™re still doing it.โ€ The women behind Peterson continued nodding and snapping in approval of his speech.

Lanezโ€™ father also implied that the trial was corrupt, and that witness Sean Kelly had been manipulated by prosecutors. โ€œI have seen so much evidence buried in this,โ€ Peterson claimed.

โ€œAnd I know exactly what the public out there will say,โ€ he continued his impassioned speech. โ€œYou will say, โ€˜I say this because Iโ€™m a father.โ€™ See I am a father of thousands around the world. I am a father of my kids, but a spiritual father to many. And I donโ€™t make stupid allegations cause I ainโ€™t got nothing better to doโ€ฆItโ€™s not over, itโ€™s not overโ€ฆGod does not lose.โ€

And perhaps itโ€™s just my personal opinion here, but to me, the juryโ€™s verdict is evidence of just that.
