On Friday, Lanez shared an Instagram video that contained voicemail audio of the rapper addressing Gascón.
Within his message, Lanez accused prosecutors of “misus[ing] their authority.” Additionally, he announced that he “was completely robbed and deprived of a fair trial.”
Lanez also said he owed his efforts to “the hundreds of thousands of Black and Hispanic minorities that cannot adequately fight for themselves.”
After alleging that the prosecution “manipulated a false narrative,” he asked the DA to “do what is fair” as he prepares to fight for a new trial.
“I come to you as a wrongfully convicted Black man, not asking for sympathy, nor compassion, but for you to simply do what is fair and right by the laws of California, and most importantly in the eyes of God.”
In the caption, Lanez proclaimed, “If this INJUSTICE can happen to ME, it’s happening to so many more MINORITIES.”
“EVERYONE please let [George Gascón] know that I deserve my freedom and a fair trial. If this INJUSTICE can happen to ME, it’s happening to so many more MINORITIES that don’t have the finances or VOICE to speak up.”
Following this initial post, Lanez also shared a transcribed version of his message in a separate upload.
Beneath this post, he blasted the prosecution with a scathing message.
“Until my court date I’ll be posting the OUTRAGEOUS & DISGUSTING INJUSTICES used against me by the PROSECUTION to get the conviction they so DESPERATELY wanted, DESPITE the evidence they knew existed.”
