Daystar (stylized in all caps) is the fifth studio album by Canadian rapper Tory Lanez. It was released on September 25, 2020, by One Umbrella Records and was his first independent release after departing from Interscope Records. The music was largely written by Lanez and produced with a variety of record producers, while featuring a sole guest appearance by fellow rapper Yoko Gold.

Controversy followed the album when it was released amid criminal allegations against Lanez that he had shot fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion earlier in 2020. Many critics chose not to review the album, and some writers denounced Lanez for using it to deny the allegations. Commercially, Daystar charted at number six in Canada and became the rapper's fifth straight album to debut in the top 10 of the US Billboard 200 earning 36,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.[1]
