Meghann Thee Reporter Obtained Iggy Azalea's Letter of Support for Tory Lanez
Welp, I mentioned that Eggy Eggz's letter would be made public by the judge and thanks to MVP Meghann Cuniff it's here.
Iggy Azalea told Judge Herriford that he’s not an abuser and “any leniency you may afford him would be something you could be proud of.”
“I deeply appreciate the person he is and have never witnessed him loose [sp] his temper or raise his voice at a woman,” Azalea wrote. “He’s always been incredibly respectful of me and I refuse to believe that he would do anything in malice especially to a woman.”
She described herself as a “victim of abuse myself” in her three-page, typed letter. “I must make note of the things ive suffered through so that you understand definitively: I would not write to you on behalf of an abuser,” she wrote.
Azalea continued, telling the judge, “I have remained in close contact with him during incarceration and I am confident he has already gained positive insight in regard to this experience.” Interestingly enough, she mentions in the letter that she spoke with Lanez “last week,” (based on the dated letter of Feb 22, would have been the week of Feb 12-Feb 18). She previously denied having any recent contact with him and those tweets have since been deleted. It is not clear if she cut contact with Lanez shortly after that.
Lanez “told me he’s glad God put him in jail,” Azalea wrote.
“He said this is an opportunity to humble himself and soften his heart - ironic to hear one of the kindest people I know strive to become even kinder,” she continued. “I’m not shocked - Its who he is. Watering and shining light on others until something beautiful grows.”
Azalea continued writing, “Daystar Peterson is not the pest you’ve heard about, he’s a gardener. He helps others bloom.” She added, “I would employ him without hesitation as an executive producer on my next album.”
“In fact - I already hired him for the job prior to his conviction! I guarantee to you he has significant income and work awaiting him upon release if you would kindly consider a sentence that does not require deportation,” she said.
She called Lanez “far from your average entitled rap star” and that he’s “been helping me from the moment I met him” in a recording studio in 2018.
“Although he was writing music for another artist, he took the initiative to come to my room in his break time and play song ideas he’d written for me too,” Azalea wrote. “This resonated with me because it’s highly unusual for someone who’s already very successful to want to help others. Music is competitive in that way,” she said.
Azalea said she understands Lanez to be “genuinely passionate about helping others.”
