Speculation had been brewing about a potential tiff between PARTYNEXTDOOR and Tory Lanez, especially after a snippet from PND hinted at some tension. However, any discord between the two artists has been resolved, with PARTYNEXTDOOR clarifying that the whole situation was based on a misunderstanding.
Good. All that beef stuff needs to get left in 2024.
In a recent story on the Gram, PARTYNEXTDOOR addressed the issue directly, writing: “@torylanez I was told about what you said without hearing your video for myself,” the Mississauga artist shared. “You didn’t say anything that I wouldn’t say myself, now that I seen it I was wrong. City is stronger together.”
Get this: the post came just hours after PND had previewed a song that appeared to aim Tory Lanez. In the snippet, he rapped, “Fk what Tory Lanez say… you know the B, I’m running that/ I did everything he did, oh he’s just a running man.” He continued, “You said I sound like Young Thug, you know you sound like me […] One day, you’ll be me.” Additionally, in an Instagram live, PND made it clear that he wasn’t interested in friendly interactions, saying, “I’m not ‘y’all nias’ friend’ and stop saying my name.”
It remains unclear exactly what comments PARTYNEXTDOOR heard that triggered his response, especially given that Tory Lanez had recently spoken positively about PND’s work. In a leaked prison phone call, Lanez praised PARTYNEXTDOOR’s collaborative album with Drake, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, saying, “PARTYNEXTDOOR showed his best work of 2025, Drake showed his best work of 2025, The Weeknd showed his best work of 2025. Now it’s time for me to come out.”
What’s more, the tension also seemed surprising given the longstanding support between Tory Lanez and Drake. Over the years, the two have consistently backed each other, with Drake even calling for Lanez’s release from prison multiple times. In fact, Drake seemed to take a veiled jab at Megan Thee Stallion in his 2022 track “Circo Loco,” insinuating that she had lied about the shooting incident involving Lanez.
Thankfully for all involved, any potential feud between the two Toronto-based artists seems to have been squashed. Instead of engaging in a public battle, PARTYNEXTDOOR is riding high on the success of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. The album has secured his first-ever No. 1 spot on the charts, with 246,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week. This represents a dramatic leap from his previous best first-week sales, which came from P3 and PARTYMOBILE, each selling around 50,000 units.
With that success, PARTYNEXTDOOR can now focus on his career milestones rather than any imagined beef. You can check out $ome $exy $ongs 4 U below.
