Rapper Tory Laznez was stabbed by a prisoner from the California Correctional Institute in Tehachapi, where he is currently serving a 10 -year sentence to shoot the winner of Grammy, Megan Thee Stallion.

Lanez was allegedly attacked in the prison courtyard by a person wielding a rod made to himself. He was urgently taken to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield, California, where he remains stable, according to The Times.

TMZ reported that the reasons for the other person still are not clear.

More information about the incident arose in a statement on the official Instagram of LANEZ on Monday night.

He said that the artist “Say It” was stabbed 14 times and suffered back wounds, torso, the back of his head and the left side of his face.

According to the statement, Lanez suffered two collapsed lungs and was placed in a breathing apparatus, but is “now breathing alone.”

“Despite having pain, he is normally speaking, in a good mood, and deeply grateful to God who is going through,” he continued. “He also wants to thank everyone for their continuous prayers and support.”

The Canadian rapper, whose legal name is Daytar Peterson, was convicted of multiple charges of weapons at the end of 2022 after firing his former romantic interest, Megan Thee Stallion, on the feet during an discussion of July 2020.

After the shooting, Megan faced an intense public scrutiny and was accused of lying about the incident, causing a broader conversation about misogyny in the Rap community.

“This whole situation in the industry is like a big children’s club,” he testified during the trial. “As I tell one of you friends, now you are about to hate me.”
