On Saturday night, DJ Vlad tweeted something that quickly got people talking on hip-hop Twitter and went viral. His post seemed to make fun of the wild stories about the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting by making it look like a big confession.
“I have a confession,” Vlad wrote before beginning a sweeping, clearly exaggerated narrative that implicates some of the most powerful names in entertainment and politics.
The “Confession” That Shook Social Media
Vlad said in the tweet that Roc Nation had been paying him to publicly support Megan Thee Stallion, but he was being sarcastic. He also said the company had paid the jury that found Tory Lanez guilty, bribed the judge, and did more secret favors.
He made fun of the thought that Jay-Z recorded a verse for his grandson’s album as part of what was supposed to happen.
The post became more intense, saying that Megan’s doctor had been forced to make up evidence about bullet fragments and that she was never shot. Vlad also said that the Los Angeles Police Department was working for Jay-Z, suggesting a big conspiracy beyond the courtroom.
Vlad said that the prison stabbing involving Tory Lanez was also caused by secret people in the music business. He then said the Roc Mafia paid off three Supreme Court judges who rejected Lanez’s appeal.
In one of the tweet’s most pointed lines, Vlad referenced President Donald Trump, joking that Jay-Z paid Trump not to pardon Tory
Lanez’s conviction was based on state law, but while acknowledging that presidential pardons only apply to federal cases. He concluded with a dramatic flair:
“I can’t keep these lies secret anymore. If this is my last tweet, you know who silenced me.”
I have a confession.
Roc Nation has been paying me to support Megan.
They also paid off all the jury members to convict Tory.
And they bribed the judge, too. Jay-Z did a verse for his grandson’s new album.
They paid off Megan’s doctor to lie about the bullet fragments.…

Satire as Commentary
Many observers noticed that Vlad was using satire due to the exaggerated tone. Online discussion has been dominated by claims of corruption, hidden agendas, and industry interference since Lanez was convicted in 2022 for the 2020 shooting.
Vlad seemed to put all his ideas together into one exaggerated story instead of answering each one separately. By doing this, he seemed to be making fun of what he sees as the unlikely conspiracy theories surrounding the case.
Despite this, there was a split reaction. Some applauded the tweet as sharp social commentary targeting misinformation. Despite the seriousness of the case and its impact on both artists’ careers, some people felt the topic was still too sensitive for humor.
The Trial’s Lingering Impact
The case between Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez has stayed a big topic in hip-hop culture. Outside the courtroom, it has sparked strong arguments about fame, loyalty, gender issues, and the power of the media. The jury’s decision has not stopped people from talking about it.
New stories and opinions on social media often grow through interviews, podcasts, and blogs that examine the case from different angles. Vlad’s tweet shows how common these theories are in this setting, instead of being something new. The made-up conspiracy he talked about, which included business leaders, police, judges, and even a former president, is like the wide-ranging claims some people make online.
Bodyguard Claims and Additional Reporting
The conversation has continued because of other news stories as well. Articles by LandonBuford.com examined claims about Tory Lanez’s former bodyguard, including reports that the bodyguard once took the blame for a gun for Lanez and was later put in a tough spot. Zyir Brown, a former security guard, said in that same article that he didn’t see any violence against women while he was employed by Lanez.
Brown’s comments were widely shared and became part of broader online discussions that questioned the timing and what happened behind the scenes. These reports made public discussion more complicated, but they did not change the result of the court case. The conviction was based on the evidence and what was said in court, not on opinions shared after the trial.
Social Media, Influence, and Narrative Control
Vlad’s tweet is a good example of how celebrities can shape online conversations. Because he is well known in hip-hop media, his posts, whether interviews or jokes, get attention. Humor and debate are common online, but even small jokes can start big arguments during major court cases.
Vlad ended his tweet with a playful warning about being silenced, in an over-the-top style often associated with conspiracy theories. This shows that court decisions rarely end public debate; instead, they often spark new conversations shaped by both social media and court proceedings. Whether people saw it as a joke or as a way to get people talking, DJ Vlad’s Saturday night comment kept the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez case in the spotlight for hip-hop fans.
