Tory Lanez is recovering in a hospital near the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi where he was attacked at about 7:20 AM on Monday, according to a spokesperson for the State Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He has been serving a 10-year sentence for shooting superstar Megan Thee Stallion in the feet.
Lanez was “stabbed 14 times—including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face,” according to a post on his verified Instagram page. “Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus,” the post continued. “He 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,” the post concluded, adding that Lanez wanted to thank everyone for their continued support.
Staff immediately provided Lanez medical aid and called 911, and he was taken to a nearby hospital. Few other details have been revealed so far, but the prison’s investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are said to still be investigating.
Megan Thee Stallion testified during the trial back in 2020 that after they left a party at Kylie Jenner’s home in the Hollywood Hills, Lanez fired a gun at the back of the rapper’s feet as she walked away from the SUV in which they had been riding, shouting for her to dance. She had bullet fragments in both feet that required surgery to remove.
The 32-year-old Lanez’s lawyers have tried to appeal his conviction, but a judge recently rejected a motion for a new trial. Further, Megan has alleged that Lanez harassed her from prison through surrogates; a judge issued a protective order through 2030 to prevent further contact or harassment.
