<p>While Queen Naija is usually the one who&#8217;s blamed for anything and everything under the sun, social media users have a new scapegoat: Roc Nation.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Tory Lanez&#8217;s Father, Sonstar Peterson, Accidentally Sparked The Trend</h3>
<p>Sonstar Peterson, Tory Lanez&#8217;s dad, got the ball rolling on Friday, Dec. 23. After a Los Angeles jury found Tory <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/breaking-jurors-find-tory-lanez-guilty-on-all-three-charges-in-megan-thee-stallion-shooting-trial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">guilty on all three charges</a> in the Megan Thee Stallion assault trial, Sonstar popped off inside the courtroom, according to <em>Law &; Crime </em>journalist <a href="https://twitter.com/meghanncuniff/status/1606432013762068480?s=20&;t=AJ7YqLp6Q6rQdSGVfKIZ8g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghann Cuniff</a>.</p>
<p>Tory&#8217;s father carried his rant out to the front of the courthouse, where he made his feelings on the ruling loud and clear.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just stood here in this Los Angeles [court] and witnessed the worst miscarriage of justice that this world has ever seen.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Sonstar then proceeded to bash attorney Alex Spiro, along with Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez. He also called out Jay-Z and &#8220;the whole wicked system of Roc Nation, including Jay-Z.&#8221;</p>

<p>In a separate clip, Sonstar passionately proclaimed that—by the powers above—Roc Nation will &#8220;crumble&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My God almighty, I call Heaven and Earth&#8230;Roc Nation, you will crumble! I am an apostle of God, and you will know who I am!&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Twitter Users Run With The Roc Nation Excuse</h3>
<p>With Sonstar declaring that Roc Nation is to blame for Tory Lanez being convicted, Twitter soon began having a field day.</p>
<p>Many humorously expressed that they were initially in disbelief over the accusation.</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1606451479690285056" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>One user pointed out that, rather than Roc Nation, maybe Sonstar should be giving Tory&#8217;s defense the side-eye. Sonstar was also implored to take accountability for his son&#8217;s &#8220;life choices.&#8221;</p>

<p>However, people swiftly jumped on the bandwagon and began calling Roc Nation and Jay-Z out for any and all inconveniences.</p>

<p>Despite the widespread blame being placed on Roc Nation, users agreed that the agency can&#8217;t be responsible for Sonstar&#8217;s poor fashion choices.</p>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1606707372776644610" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>In addition to people blaming Roc Nation, users also poked fun at how Jay-Z and his family must have reacted to Sonstar&#8217;s comments.</p>

<p>What do you think about this trend, and do you plan on blaming Roc Nation for all your troubles throughout 2023?</p>
