Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Prison Stabbing: What We Know
In a shocking turn of events, Tory Lanez, the rapper currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, was reportedly attacked at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Multiple sources confirm the incident, leaving many wondering about Lanez's condition and the implications of this attack.
Reports indicate that the incident occurred Monday morning, with Lanez being stabbed by another inmate using a “self-made shank” in a prison yard. According to a statement, prison staff “immediately responded, activated 911 and began medical aid” to Peterson following the attack that occurred at approximately 7:20 a.m. local time. He was then rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) spokesperson Pedro Calderón Michel stated that the prison's investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney's Office are currently investigating the incident. The motive behind the stabbing remains unclear. The Office of the Inspector General was also notified of the attack.
This incident adds another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous legal saga surrounding Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion. Back in December 2022, Lanez was convicted of three felonies, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, stemming from the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Megan testified that Lanez fired a gun at the back of her feet after they left a party at Kylie Jenner's Hollywood Hills home.
Even from behind bars, legal battles continue. In January, a Los Angeles judge extended Pete’s restraining order against Peterson until 2030 after Megan alleged that Lanez was harassing her from prison through surrogates, conducting what she described as a “campaign of harassment” through online trolls and bloggers.
While details surrounding the stabbing remain scarce, the incident raises serious questions about prison safety and the ongoing animosity between Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion. The investigations are underway, seeking to understand the circumstances that led to this violent episode. In the meantime, concerns for Lanez's well-being are being expressed.
