Tory Lanez has reportedly been rushed to a hospital after getting stabbed in prison. Citing several sources, including one in law enforcement, TMZ reports that Lanez was allegedly stabbed in the face by another inmate following an altercation in the yard of the California Correctional Institution at Tehachapi Monday morning. Lanez, 32, was transported to a nearby hospital and his injuries are not life-threatening, the outlet adds. The rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is currently serving a 10-year sentence at the California state prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020. He was convicted in Dec. 2022 and found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. He subsequently appealed his convictions to California’s Court of Appeal in 2023. Earlier this year, Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, was granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez.
