At first Tory denied the claims in a cryptic statement on Instagram stories
...but then, on Sunday, August confirmed the reports with a shocking photo of his busted lip and a shady but vivid description of what happened. Apparently Tory was upset that August didn't shake his hand, but August is immunocompromised and was advised by his doctor to limit physical contact with others.
August shared more pictures after an exchange with a fan where he accused Tory of leaking the story about the beats in the first place.
