Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Prison Stabbing
Rapper Tory Lanez was reportedly stabbed by another inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi on the morning of May 12, 2025, according to TMZ.
Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the 2020 shooting of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The incident occurred in the prison yard, and Lanez was subsequently transported by ambulance to a hospital in Bakersfield. According to reports, his injuries are non-life-threatening, though his current condition remains unknown.
The motive behind the attack is still under investigation. This incident adds to the ongoing legal challenges Lanez faces, including a civil lawsuit filed by Megan Thee Stallion alleging a coordinated smear campaign against her.
Lanez had recently shared updates from prison, indicating he was in good spirits and working on new music. Just days before the stabbing, he posted a photo of himself behind bars, teasing an upcoming album.
As of now, there has been no official statement from Lanez's legal team or prison officials regarding the stabbing. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
