Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed 14 times while serving a 10-year sentence in a California prison. He is currently recovering after receiving emergency treatment for multiple injuries, including collapsed lungs.
- Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, was stabbed during yard time at California Correctional Institution.
- His reps say he sustained 14 wounds — seven to the back and others to the head, torso, and face.
- He was stabilized after his lungs collapsed and is now breathing on his own, though in pain.
Lanez’s team shared that he remains in “good spirits” and is grateful for support. The attack has sparked renewed concern about the safety of high-profile inmates and the realities of violence behind bars.
Will the prison system be held accountable for safeguarding vulnerable inmates? As investigations begin, many wonder: Could this have been prevented?
