Lanez had expected to be sentenced on Monday, though the hearing ended before a sentence was given by the judge.
The judge did reveal, though, according to journalist Meghan Cuniff, that he had received over 70 “letters of support” for Lanez, including one from Azalea, who reportedly called for a “transformational, not life-destroying” sentence for the rapper.
Later on Monday, Azalea addressed the reports in a lengthy, now-deleted tweet in which she explained she had not intended the letter to be public.
“For the record,” she wrote. “1. I have not been in touch with tory for months, I have no reason to be, but I do wish him well.”
She continued, “2. I don’t ‘support’ anyone. the whole thing is full of oddities. My letter never mentioned anything in regard to what happened that night.”
Azalea also explained, “3. I was told this was for a judge only, yet it’s being discussed in public? I never intended to publicly comment.”
The rapper went on to explain her strong belief in rehabilitation and prison reform, which informed her letter about Lanez’s sentencing.
“4. l am not in support of throwing away ANY ones life if we can give reasonable punishments that are rehabilitative instead. I support prison reform. Period,” she wrote. “5. I was asked to write about my genuine experience and the type of punishment I think he deserves: I did.”
Finally, she added, “It’s not really that interesting but I understand why it’s being sensationalized… See ya next week to discuss pizza
