On Monday (Sept. 25), Tory Lanez updated fans on his well-being while announcing the deluxe version of his 2021 album Alone at Prom.

Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison last month after shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020, sounded upbeat, exuding positive energy during a minutelong voice message to his supporters on Instagram.

“Ay Umbrellas, man. What’s good? I’m talking to you live from prison right now. Man, I’m just happy to get out from that bullsh– county jail. They was hating on a young fly n—a, ya heard?” he began. “Had me on 24-hour lockdown. Half-sized cell by myself. No windows, no mirrors. Ain’t even see himself in a whole year yo.”

Over the weekend, Page Six reported that the musician is “scared for his life and safety in prison.” “He feels like he is an instant and direct target because of his celebrity status,” the source told the outlet.

Currently, Lanez is serving his time at the North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. Despite those reports, the “Jerry Sprunger” star appeared optimistic in his message to his fans from prison.

“With all them disadvantages against me, my head has always been held high, man. And I want y’all to know I’m in great spirits. My drive and my ambition is growing stronger and stronger every day,” he said. “And I’m so proud of how y’all been moving in my support. Man, I feel like this a scary time, but don’t be afraid, man. This don’t spark no fear in my heart at all. In fact, I’m more prepared than ever. The music, the videos, and all the projects you wanted, they all ready to drop. So let’s just start with the one we want the most: the Alone at Prom Deluxe.”

Released in December 2021, Alone in Prom debuted at No. 59 on the Billboard 200 and spawned singles such as “Lady of Namek,” “’87 Stingray” and “Enchanted Waterfall.” Earlier this year, “The Color Violent” debuted on the Hot 100 and peaked at No. 63.
