Los Angeles, CA — Canadian rapper and singer Tory Lanez, currently serving a prison sentence in California, was reportedly stabbed during an altercation behind bars earlier this week. According to unnamed sources within the correctional facility, the 32-year-old artist sustained injuries after an alleged dispute escalated into violence.

The incident reportedly occurred in the prison yard during a recreational period. While the exact details remain unclear, witnesses claim that Lanez was targeted by a small group of inmates following a heated exchange. Authorities responded swiftly to the scene, and medical personnel were able to stabilize Lanez before transporting him to the facility’s medical ward.

Initial reports suggest that the injuries, though serious, are not life-threatening. “He was lucky,” said one prison insider. “He lost a fair amount of blood, but the staff acted fast. If they hadn’t gotten to him when they did, it could’ve been a lot worse.”

Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2023 for the 2020 shooting of fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion. His conviction followed a highly publicized trial that drew significant media attention and polarized fans across the hip-hop community. Since his incarceration, Lanez has kept a relatively low profile, though he has maintained his innocence and is reportedly pursuing an appeal. Following the stabbing, security protocols at the facility were tightened, and an internal investigation is underway. Authorities are looking into whether the attack was gang-related or stemmed from a personal grievance. No arrests have been made yet in connection to the assault.

Fans have expressed concern across social media, with the hashtag #PrayForTory trending briefly on X (formerly Twitter). Some critics, however, pointed to the rapper’s legal troubles and controversial past, saying the incident was “karma catching up.” As of now, Tory Lanez remains under medical observation. Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
