Tory Lanez's "tour" of listening parties is going on while he's in jail, and its L.A. stop featured Blueface, Tyga, Chrisean Rock, and more.

Tory Lanez has stayed musically active despite currently serving his prison sentence, whether it's by dropping new music or through his "Not On Tor" tour. The series of listening parties has found a lot of success so far, selling out with his fans despite some pushback. For the most recent Los Angeles tour stop on Thursday (October 15), special guests who performed at the event included Blueface, Chrisean Rock, Tyga, and more.

Rock did not find a lot of love with the crowd, as folks booed her in a clip that quickly made the rounds online. Fenix Flexin was also there to perform his viral and controversial hit "Rubberz," whereas Chrisean was background-dancing for Blue's set. Tyga performed some big hits like "Rack City," and he and Blue engaged the crowd with "Free Tory" chants.

Of course, fans also danced and sang along to some of Lanez's hits as they played in the background, despite the artist himself not being there. The New Boyz also reunited for this concert. We'll see what other guests pop out for upcoming "Not On Tor" dates in Washington, DC, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh, with folks expecting announcements for Toronto and Montreal dates as well.

Blueface & Tory Lanez

Blueface's dynamic with Tory Lanez is very curious, as he previously alleged he hooked up with Megan Thee Stallion after the shooting which sent the Canadian rapper and singer to prison. However, it seems like Blue's happy to support Lanez despite these comments, as he had also claimed he saw her gunshot wounds.

Elsewhere, Tory Lanez wants justice over his stabbing in jail, as he sued prison authorities for $100 million after last year's attack. Most recently, prison officials claimed the artist is partially responsible for the attack due to him agreeing to his housing arrangement.

We will see where that situation leads, as many (including Tory himself) continue to call for his freedom and a reversal of his sentence and verdict. Efforts to do so have been unsuccessful so far. But initiatives like the "Not On Tor" tour keep those claims alive via fan engagement, so the controversial pushback will never end.
