1090 Jake says Tory Lanez has to "forget about being a celebrity" if he wants to make it in prison.

1090 Jake says that Tory Lanez's status as a celebrity won't help him when it comes to being an inmate in California State Prison. He discussed what the Toronto rapper is looking at with his 10-year prison sentence during an interview with VladTV. He began by noting that, considering the charges, the sentence isn't too bad.

"The fact that he has to do it in California State Prison, that's very unfortunate," Jake further admitted. "They're very political. You don't have the opportunity to be the celebrity in there. If you're general population, and it pops off, you're required to get involved. You have to pick up a knife. You have to. It's mandatory. So, the situation he's in now, he has to basically forget about being a celebrity."

Legal affairs journalist Meghann Cuniff, who has been covering Lanez's case throughout the trial, discussed the concern about his safety on Twitter, Sunday. She wrote: "This is why protective custody exists. Someone who’s been to prison three times told me, 'They (CDC) will never allow that dude to walk mainline, level 4 or 3 for sure, they would kill him his first day on the yard. … Cali is stacked with hitters. No other state is like it.'" Check out 1090 Jake's take on the situation below.
