Rapper Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Prison Stabbing Incident
Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Monday, May 12, after being stabbed during an altercation at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. According to TMZ, the 32-year-old was transported by ambulance for medical treatment, though the injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for the 2020 shooting of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion. Authorities say the incident occurred in the prison yard and involved a dispute with another inmate that escalated into violence.
The motive behind the attack remains under investigation.
Lanez’s conviction followed a high-profile trial in which Megan Thee Stallion testified that he told her to “dance” before opening fire on her feet during a dispute after a party in Los Angeles.
