 Iggy Azalea has clarified why she wrote a letter of support for Tory Lanez as he faces sentencing this week after receiving backlash. In December, Lanez, 31, was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion during an argument in July 2020. The shooting left the Savage rapper, 28, wounded and she needed surgery to remove bullet fragments from her feet. Despite pleading not guilty, Lanez was convicted of three felonies; assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. On Monday, the Canadian singer's sentencing began and Judge Herriford reportedly told the court that he had received over 70 letters of support for the musician. Fancy rapper Iggy, 31, was one of those who wrote a letter on behalf of Lanez but has received criticism for apparently showing favour for him over Megan. Iggy explained that she supports prison reform (Picture: @iggyazalea, Twitter, X) However, the Australian musician has explained why she chose to send a letter to the judge as well as a summary of what she said. Setting the record straight in a tweet, Iggy wrote: 'For the record: 1. I have not been in touch with tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well. '2. I don't 'support' anyone. the whole thing is full of oddities. My letter never mentioned anything in regard to what happened that night. 3. I was told this was for a judge only, yet it's being discussed in public? I never intended to publicly comment.' She added that she's 'not in support of throwing away anyone's life' if it means the punishment is 'reasonable' and 'rehabilitative.' 'I support prison reform,' she stated. Iggy went on: 'I was asked to write about my genuine experience and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did. It's not really that interesting but I understand why it's being sensationalized.' Prosecutors are hoping f){kind=link}
