Rapper Tory Lanez is recovering in a hospital after being stabbed multiple times while serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting hip-hop starlet Megan Thee Stallion.
A statement posted to the Canadian artist’s Instagram account alleges that Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was “stabbed 14 times — including seven wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head, and one to the left side of his face.”
The post goes on to say that Lanez suffered the collapse of both lungs and was placed on a breathing apparatus, but is now breathing on his own.
“Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” it goes on to say. “He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.”
The attack occurred around 7:20 a.m. Monday morning in a housing unit at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and CNN.
Lanez, 32, was convicted of three felonies in Dec. 2022 for the shooting that took place in July 2020 following a party at the home of Kylie Jenner. He is eligible for parole in 2029.
In December of last year, Megan Thee Stallion filed for a restraining order against Lanez, alleging he was harassing her from prison and continuing to “subject her to repeated trauma and victimization” and that he was employing online bloggers to continue a “campaign of harassment.”
That protective order, which was granted by a judge, is set to expire in 2030, CBS News reported.
