Tory Lanez is GEEKED to be doing things on his own terms. The Toronto native has been living life on a high note, especially with the success of his most recent Chixtape 5. At his recent sold-out show at the Hollywood Palladium, Tory brought out T-Pain to perform their standout single “Jerry Sprunger,” combining that old school R&B nostalgia with the new. Now, the 27-year-old is bossing up, announcing his departure from Interscope Records.

He then follows up the announcement with another tweet, clarifying he has no blood with the label who put him on. Not only did he give them 12 projects, but he also exceeded his five-album contract tremendously. He adds, “I’m still just getting my feet in the water.”

One fan even asked if Tory would be dropping music like he used to, in which he confirms he will be. For now, fans can look forward to his forthcoming album The New Toronto 3, which follows the release of Chixtape 5 in November of last year.
