Rapper Tory Lanez has reportedly been stabbed at a California prison.
According to multiple reports, Lanez was taken to a hospital in Bakersfield after another inmate stabbed him at about 7:20 a.m. Monday. Lanez is in stable condition and is expected to survive the attack.
A post from Lanez’s official Instagram account revealed the severity of his injuries: he was stabbed 14 times — including seven wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head, and one to the left side of his face. Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own. Despite the pain, he is reportedly talking normally, in good spirits. Lanez also expressed gratitude for the continued prayers and support from fans.
Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, is incarcerated at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi after his 2020 shooting of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion.
The motivation behind the stabbing has not been revealed, but Lanez has continued to draw public attention even after he was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2023.
Despite Megan Thee Stallion — real name Megan Pete — telling a jury that he fired five shots while yelling “Dance, b——-!” after a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills home, Lanez has continually asserted his innocence.
Thus far, his appeals and legal maneuverings have failed.
