In brief
Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed in a California prison and has been taken to a hospital. The incident unfolded at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Lanez, who is 31 and whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was attacked on Tuesday morning by another inmate. The prison staff quickly activated 911 and provided medical aid before Lanez was transported to a local medical facility. As of now, his injuries are reported to be non-life threatening, although the details of his current condition remain unclear.An investigation into the stabbing is ongoing, but the motive behind the attack has not been disclosed. Lanez has been in prison since 2023 after being convicted on three felony gun-related charges linked to a high-profile shooting incident at a party involving singer Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The shooting incident, which led to a trial that divided opinions in the hip-hop community, saw Megan testifying that Lanez shot at her while demanding she “dance.” Despite his conviction, Lanez has consistently claimed his innocence and will be releasing an album titled "Peterson" from prison.
