by

Rap artist Tory Lanez is receiving treatment in the hospital after being injured by a knife attack at the California Correctional Institution. Reports suggest that he endured 14 wounds, as indicated by a message on his Instagram account, though his health status is now reported to be stable.

Currently, Daystar Peterson, better known as Lanez, is under a 10-year imprisonment following his 2022 conviction for the 2020 shooting of rapper Megan Thee Stallion. He was found guilty on three counts: using a semi-automatic firearm in an assault, possessing an unregistered loaded firearm in a vehicle, and recklessly firing a weapon.

On May 12, approximately at 7:20 AM local time, the rapper was reportedly assaulted, as per ABC News. Upon learning of this incident, staff promptly called emergency services and administered first aid. Later, Peterson was transferred to an external medical center for additional care, according to a prison representative.

Over on my Insta feed, Lanez shared some shocking news – he’s been attacked! They sliced him 14 times, hitting his back seven times, four in the middle of his body, twice at the back of his skull, and once on the left side of his beautiful mug.

The announcement further mentioned that both of his lungs had caved in, requiring a mechanical ventilator. However, it’s encouraging to note that he’s now managing his breaths independently, conversing fluently, and maintaining a positive outlook, as they say, “in high spirits.

Though he’s experiencing discomfort, his conversation flows naturally, revealing a cheerful demeanor, and he expresses profound gratitude towards God for making it through this ordeal.

A probe has begun, jointly conducted by the Investigative Services Unit within the prison and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office. Additionally, the California Office of the Inspector General has been made aware of this matter.

Troy Lanez, in response to the shooting incident, asserts his innocence and is now working on an appeal for his conviction. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge declined his request for bail in September 2023.
