Fellow Inmate Stabbed Tory Lanez
Tory Lanez has been stabbed in prison, TMZ reports. The stabbing occurred in the prison yard, and it was quite severe. Sources disclosed to the outlet that another inmate stabbed the Canadian singer 14 times, leading to his hospitalization. They also revealed that Lanez received first aid after the stabbing before they called 911. He was taken to a hospital in Bakersfield. The motivation behind the attack is still unknown.
Tory Lanez got stabbed only a few days after he shared pictures of himself looking buff alongside other inmates. He also shared news about his upcoming album, stating it would be out this summer. The Brampton native also revealed that a second album was in the works, and it was already “100% recorded, mixed & mastered.” The news pleased many of his fans, who shared how much they missed him and hoped for his quick release.
Lanez’s Team Shares Update About His Condition
Tory Lanez’s team didn’t keep fans in limbo and thankfully revealed that he is fine after being stabbed. They shared a post on his Instagram page hours after news of the attack went viral. In the statement, they revealed that the 32-year-old rapper is now stable. Per Onsite, the statement read:
“Tory was 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. Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own.” The team continued, “Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through.”
They added that Tory Lanez was grateful to all who prayed and supported him after learning he had been stabbed. “He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support,” they concluded.
Fans React To News Of Tory Lanez’s Recovery
Many of Tory Lanez’s fans were worried after learning a fellow inmate stabbed him. They were relieved to know that the worst was now past. A fan remarked, “God was definitely with him man omg.” A second person said, “omg I pray he is ok & this doesn’t effect him long term!”
Many also speculated about what led to the stabbing, with a few pointing fingers at Megan Thee Stallion. However, some countered the idea, noting that Lanez has always had a “big mouth.”
Someone commented, “Yall forgetting this man got a RECKLESS mouth on him stop acting like they did this over meg.” Another person agreed, saying, “Boy been in jail. Y’all making it seem like it’s something to do with Meg. He probably in there cutting up on the regular.”
Tory Lanez’s Legal Battles
The references to Megan Thee Stallion stem from her involvement in the Canadian songwriter’s incarceration. Lanez is in jail for shooting Megan on July 12, 2020, after a house party at Kylie Jenner’s home. The Savage rapper accused Lanez in August 2020 of shooting her in the feet after she exited his car. Lanez denied the accusations in his 2020 album Daystar, accusing her of trying to frame him. Megan’s team replied that Lanez was only trying to manipulate public opinion and spread false narratives.
Megan Thee Stallion obtained a protective order against Lanez, but the latter violated it in 2022, leading to his re-arrest. A judge sentenced him on August 8, 2o23, after he was found guilty on all counts. Before being stabbed, Tory Lanez was trying to appeal his conviction. Meanwhile, Megan has secured a restraining order that extends to 2030.
She also filed a defamation lawsuit against Lanez and YouTuber Milagro “Gramz” Cooper. She accused the duo of spreading false narratives about the shooting incident. Her team also tried to depose Lanez, and he now faces a civil contempt motion for inappropriate conduct during the process.
It is good to know that Tory Lanez is now stable and can breathe on his own after being stabbed. Hopefully, he will make a full recovery and leave the hospital soon.
