For many years, Tory Lanez was the youngest of six siblings. The Peterson siblings lost their mother when Tory was 11 years old. She died following complications from her anemia. The rapper traveled around with his faith healer father after her death.

He was eventually dethroned as the family's baby when his father remarried a Kenyan woman with whom he had two kids. The umbrella is a strong motive in Tory's brand, with his fandom going by the moniker Umbrellas.
