Rapper Tory Lanez Stabbed in California Prison Incident
Canadian hip-hop artist Tory Lanez, known for his controversial past, has been hospitalized following a stabbing incident in a California prison.
In a shocking turn of events, Tory Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, was stabbed while serving his 10-year sentence for shooting fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The attack occurred Tuesday morning at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, approximately 75 miles north of Los Angeles. Lanez was attacked by another inmate, prompting prison staff to activate 911 and perform first aid before he was transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Reports suggest that Lanez’s injuries are not life-threatening, and an investigation into the motive behind the stabbing is currently underway. The 31-year-old rapper, who has faced substantial legal challenges in recent years, was sentenced in 2023 for three felony gun-related charges stemming from the earlier shooting incident. The case has garnered significant attention within the hip-hop community and beyond, with Lanez consistently maintaining his innocence and refusing to apologize for his actions.
