Prosecutors were also concerned about a February twitter post from DJ Akademiks, which stated, “BREAKING: It was revealed in court few moments ago that Tory Lanez DNA WAS NOT found on the weapon in the Meg Thee Stallion case.”

Ak followed up his initial tweet with a new one that conveyed the inconclusive discovery about 15 minutes later.
