Tony Yayo Defends ‘Little Man Complex’ While Discussing Tory Lanez’s Street Credibility

Tony Yayo has offered some words regarding Tory Lanez and the whole idea of him having a “little man complex,” otherwise known as a Napoleon complex.

In the latest segment of his interview with VladTV, which aired on Tuesday (January 3), the former G-Unit soldier spoke on the level of disrespect someone would take before resorting to extreme measures like using a gun.

Vlad explained that he doesn’t think Tory Lanez is a street guy, so for him to have shot Megan Thee Stallion in her feet in 2020, a lot of people were caught by surprise. However, Yayo said with the success Tory has seen in his career, it’s easy for anyone to start acting “tough.”

“When you have money and power I mean it could turn you semi tough I’m not saying he’s not tough because I don’t know him,” Yayo said. “I know n-ggas thats 5 foot 2 that got the little man complex and will cut your face, you know what I’m saying.”

He added: “When people like you say that might make him mad to go out and do some dumb shit. Sometimes the things people say affect people so I don’t know. I know short dudes that are even more crazy because they short so they felt like they always got something to prove.”

A Napoleon complex is a psychological term to describe the domineering or aggressive attitude perceived from someone that’s physically small. They assert themselves in a way to overcompensate for their size.

Many have diagnosed Tory Lanez with the complex after people believed he shot Megan Thee Stallion in response to her teasing him about their respective careers and how much more she has than him the night of the incident.

Following eight days of trial, nearly two days of closing arguments and a day of deliberations, a grand jury found Tory guilty of all three charges levied against him last month.

The three counts were felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, possession of a concealed, unregistered firearm and discharging a firearm with gross negligence.

Lanez pleaded not guilty to all three counts and during the trial opted not to testify. He has a sentence hearing set for January 27 and faces up to 22 years in prison and deportation to his native Canada.
