In a surprising twist, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea has made her stance clear on the controversial Tory Lanez case. Azalea, known for her hit single “Fancy,” recently submitted a letter to Judge David Herriford, expressing her disapproval of Lanez’s attempt to secure a lighter sentence in the shooting case involving fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion.

The court proceedings unfolded on a tense Monday in Los Angeles, as Lanez faced sentencing for the shooting incident that left Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, wounded in the feet back in July 2020. Prosecutors have urged the judge to impose a 13-year jail term on the rapper, while Lanez’s defense team has strongly advocated for probation, citing a variety of factors.

Iggy Azalea’s unexpected intervention added a new layer of complexity to the case. In her letter to Judge Herriford, Azalea made it clear that she does not support Tory Lanez’s quest for a lighter sentence. She passionately implored the judge to consider a sentence that would be “transformative, not life-destroying,” hinting at her belief that justice should not be compromised for the sake of leniency.
