Hip-hop star Tory Lanez was in the hospital after being stabbed by a fellow inmate. The official spokesperson for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation revealed the stabbing took place on May 12 around 7.20 am at Tehachapi (via USA Today).
On Lanez’s official Instagram, fans found an update regarding the attack that he faced. As per the post, Lanez has suffered “7 wounds to his back.” He has four wounds on his torso, two “to the back of his head,” and one “to the left side of his face.”
The post further revealed that both of Lanez’s lungs “collapsed.” He had to be placed on a breathing apparatus initially. However, the singer is now “breathing on his own.” Despite being in pain, Lanez is “talking normally” and “in good spirits.”
Even while serving his jail term, Lanez has been active on social media. A week back, the rapper posted an update regarding his upcoming album release. The “Say It” crooner teased that the new album will have a new genre, “Sl—- Bass.”
In 2025, Lanez has already dropped an album, titled Peterson, on March 7, 2025. The eighth studio album of the Canadian rapper consisted of twenty tracks. Among the tracks, “Free Tory” and “Free Me” reflected on Lanez’s feelings regarding his trial.
After the news of his stabbing surfaced, fans are bringing back lyrics of “Free Me,” where Lanez directly talks about incidents like “stabbing.” The lyrics say, “Some of them will watch you get stabbed and won’t stop it/ They know who gon’ run away and they know who gon’ chop ya.”
The authorities have not revealed any clear motive for the attack. One source reportedly told TMZ that Lanez got his treatment at a civilian hospital in Bakersfield.
