Tory Lanez Reportedly Stabbed in Prison, Rushed to Hospital
Incarcerated Tory Lanez was reportedly attacked in the prison yard.
Tory Lanez has been hospitalized after being stabbed by another inmate in prison, according to TMZ. Numerous sources told the outlet that Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, was allegedly attacked while in the yard at California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi early on Monday (May 12) morning.
Lanez was then taken to a hospital in Bakersfield for treatment. His injuries are reportedly non-life-threatening. Okayplayer has reached out to Tory Lanez’s representatives for more information.Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Lanez was found guilty of three felonies in December 2022. He was sentenced in August 2023.
Before and after the trial, Lanez proclaimed his innocence. “I have never let a hard time intimidate me. I will never never let no jail time eliminate me,” the 32-year-old said via statement at the time of his sentencing. “Regardless of how they try to spin my words, I have always maintained my innocence and I always will.”
In her own statement, Megan once again spoke out against Lanez. “He not only shot me,” Megan wrote. “He made a mockery of my trauma. He tried to position himself as a victim and set out to destroy my character and my soul.”
Megan and Tory’s legal battle has continued. Last month, her attorney filed a motion asking for the court to show cause why Lanez shouldn't be held in contempt in the civil case Megan filed against Milagro Cooper; a blogger who Megan accuses 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."
The lawsuit claims that when Lanez was called for a deposition in the case, he acted dismissively and made fun of Megan’s lawyer.
Megan Thee Stallion was also granted a restraining order against Lanez back in January.
