Rapper Tory Lanez is “pulling through” after being “stabbed 14 times” in a California prison on Monday.
A post on his social media said Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, had been “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”.
The post added that both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own.
The Canadian artist is serving 10 years in the California Correctional Institution, for shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020.
Pedro Calderon Michel, spokesman for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, confirmed to the Associated Press that Lanez was attacked inside a prison housing unit at around 7.20am.
Michel added that the prison’s investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are investigating what happened.
