Tory Lanez hits back at Cassidy with ‘When Its Dark’ diss track amid beef, fans call it 'trash'

Tory Lanez got slammed by Cassidy on ‘Perjury’ after the former appeared on a radio station and performed a five-minute freestyle over Cassidy’s beat

Tory Lanez got rid of his Monday blues by dropping a fierce diss track called ‘When Its Dark (E-NFT) 8-10-21’ pointed at legendary battle rapper and freestyler Cassidy. The brand new track is a result of Cassidy releasing the diss track ‘Perjury’ on August 1 after calling out Tory Lanez for stealing his flow and lyrics.

The Canadian rapper was brutally slammed by Cassidy on ‘Perjury’ after the former appeared on the radio station Hot 97 and performed a five-minute freestyle over Cassidy’s classic “I’m a Hustla’ saying he was paying homage to the hip-hop icon. Cassidy, however, did not like the fact that he copied his bars and flow and openly roasted the 29-year-old rapper via Instagram before insulting the latter on his track. Fueling the beef, Tory Lanez then decided to take potshots at Cassidy with his brand new freestyle.
