In 2006, Lanez was sent to live with his cousins Dahir Abib, Orane Forrest, in Jamaica, Queens, New York because of his behavior issues. Lanez then was forced to move to Toronto with his grandmother. Since she refused to take care of him, he was on his own at the age of 15. "I ended up moving downtown with these three dudes that I didn't really know. I came into the house and I didn't realize how things worked. From like fifteen to eighteen, I was just fighting them. It was every man for himself. That's what made me a man, having to fend for myself and being in a situation where there is no dad, no grandma and no mom to help you. It changed the person that I am today", he says.{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/01/tory-lanez-show-and-prove-xxl-magazine-winter-2015-issue/|title=Tory Lanez Can't Be Stopped in 2016|last=Johnson|first=Miranda|date=January 11, 2016|website=XXL|access-date=April 10, 2016}}

Lanez started rapping again, giving himself a nickname, Notorious, which is a reference to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., whom he idolized, and adopted into his new moniker "Tory Lanez".

In February 2010, Kingston contacted Lanez requesting a meetup while on tour with Justin Bieber, resulting in Lanez performing on the tour.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31c_LPqF1PI|date=January 24, 2011|title=History in the Making (Documentary) – Tory Lanez|website=YouTube |access-date=December 7, 2014}} In 2010, Lanez released the mixtapes, Just Landed, One Verse One Hearse, Playing for Keeps and Mr. 1 Verse Killah.
