Tory Lanez was reportedly stabbed multiple times by another inmate while out in the yard of California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, CA this morning (May 12).
An update on Lanez's condition was posted via Instagram, stating that he had been stabbed 14 times in total, including in the back, torso, head and face. He also suffered a collapsed lung and was temporarily placed on a breathing apparatus, however, he is now able to breathe on his own.
"Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through," the post added.
TMZ first reported that the 32-year-old Brampton rapper suffered non-life-threatening injuries but was rushed in an ambulance to a civilian hospital in nearby Bakersfield, CA. No reason has been reported for the attack.
Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) is currently serving a ten-year sentence for wounding fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion in a shooting that occurred after a party at Kylie Jenner’s house in July 2020.
He was convicted in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, keeping a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging the firearm with gross negligence.
Last week, Lanez posted on Instagram that he had a new album ready for release this summer.
