Tory Lanez’s 10-year prison sentence has gone without major incident until now. 

According to TMZ, several sources —including one in law enforcement— said he was stabbed Monday morning while walking in the yard at California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi.

The injury was reportedly so serious that the Canadian-born rapper had to be transported to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield.

Lanez’s team took to Instagram to reveal more details about the attack saying he was stabbed 14 times and his lungs were collapsed.

“Tory was stabbed 14 times – including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face. Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus,” the message reads. “He is now breathing on his own. Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through. He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.”

Born Daystar Peterson, he’s currently serving a decade behind bars for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020 when the two were romantically involved and got into an argument after leaving a party and Kylie Jenner’s home. 

He was eventually found guilty of negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic handgun, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm. He was sentenced back in 2022, but the high-profile court proceedings versus Meg have been ongoing, with her recently taking aim at him in a civil case against Milagro Cooper.

Meg is accusing cooper, a blogger of using her “social media accounts to spread defamatory statements, deepfake porn videos, and outright lies about [Megan] at the behest and command of Mr. Peterson.”

For his part, Meg asked that he be held in contempt for facilitating the smear campaign and acting “disruptive, inflammatory” during the deposition.
