Early Life and Family Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tory Lanez is currently 32 years old<\/strong>. His mother, Luella<\/strong>, who was from Cura\u00e7ao, passed away from a rare disease when he was just 11 years old. This loss deeply affected him, leading to behavioral issues during his teenage years. His father, Sonstar<\/strong>, a Bajan missionary and minister, moved the family frequently throughout the U.S. after Luella’s death. Lanez lived in multiple cities, including Montreal, Miami, Atlanta<\/strong>, and Queens<\/strong>, experiencing a turbulent youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lanez eventually returned to Toronto, but his grandmother declined to care for him. He spent his late teens largely fending for himself, a time he credits for shaping his self-reliance. Lanez has a son named Kai<\/strong>, born in April 2017, and often expresses his desire to be a better father than the one he never had growing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
