Meanwhile, Tory Lanez is behind bars since August 2023 following his conviction in the Megan Thee Stallion July 2020 shooting case. However, while serving his 10-year sentence, the Canadian rap artist was stabbed 14 times by a fellow inmate on May 12, 2025. The incident took place inside the housing unit of the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.

In the aftermath of the incident, he was taken to the hospital where he underwent treatment and was later declared critical but stable. According to a statement released via Tory Lanez’s official Instagram, he suffered 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. Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” the post read.

The statement ended with thanks to his fans and followers for their continued prayers and support. Other details about the case, such as the motive or identity of the attacker, remain unknown, and the matter is under investigation.

Lanez has continued to maintain his innocence in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting, and his legal team has been appealing against his conviction/sentence.
