Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has reportedly been stabbed by a fellow inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, according to a breaking report by TMZ. The incident is said to have occurred today, May 12, 2025, during a prison yard altercation.
Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted of the 2020 shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion, a case that has remained highly publicized and controversial since it first made headlines.
According to initial details, the 32-year-old rapper was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital following the violent encounter.
At the time of this report, his condition remains unknown, and authorities have yet to confirm the extent of his injuries officially.
The motive behind the attack has not been disclosed, and prison officials have not released a public statement. However, the incident is expected to spark renewed concerns over inmate safety—especially for high-profile individuals like Lanez, whose fame can make them targets behind bars.
Lanez was sentenced in August 2023 after being found guilty of three felony charges, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.
