BREAKING: Tory Lanez Stabbed in Prison, Rushed to Hospital

Rapper Tory Lanez was reportedly stabbed inside the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, California, on the morning of May 12, 2025. According to sources familiar with the situation, the incident occurred in the prison yard and involved an altercation with another inmate. Lanez was quickly transported to a hospital in Bakersfield for medical treatment.
Although details remain limited, the injuries are said to be non-life-threatening, and Lanez is expected to recover. Prison officials have launched an investigation into the attack, but no official motive or suspect information has been released as of now.
Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year sentence stemming from the 2020 shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion. He was convicted in late 2022 on charges including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and was sentenced in August 2023. Since his incarceration, Lanez has made headlines periodically through his legal team’s efforts to appeal the case and for his sporadic public communications from behind bars.
The stabbing incident has raised concerns about inmate safety and the conditions within the correctional facility, especially for high-profile inmates like Lanez. Supporters and fans have taken to social media to express their shock and offer prayers for his recovery.
This is a developing story, and updates are expected as the investigation continues.
