Canadian rapper Tory Lanez was reportedly stabbed Monday morning while in the yard at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he is currently serving a 10-year sentence. Lanez—whose real name is Daystar Shemuel Shua Peterson—was rushed to a civilian hospital in Bakersfield, according to TMZ.

Authorities have not confirmed the motive behind the attack, and as of now, Lanez’s injuries are considered non-life-threatening. He is expected to recover, though no further details on the suspect or potential charges have been released.

Music behind bars: 'PETERSON' and a prison first

Despite being incarcerated, Lanez has remained musically active. In March, he released PETERSON, his eighth studio album, which he claims is the first professionally recorded prison album. “The pain is there, the hunger is there... It’s a lot of emotion,” Lanez said, emphasizing the authenticity and rawness of the project, which was recorded entirely while serving time.

The rapper has shared photos of himself behind bars and promoted the album as a voice not only for himself but for other inmates. The project has been framed by Lanez as a creative milestone and a deeply personal work shaped by his prison experience.

Continuing legal disputes with Megan Thee Stallion

Lanez’s legal troubles extend beyond his sentence. He remains embroiled in ongoing litigation with Megan Thee Stallion, the victim in his 2020 shooting case. Megan has alleged that Lanez is using online bloggers to harass and defame her, even from prison.

The high-profile feud between the two artists has spanned several years and legal arenas, keeping public and media interest high as both parties continue to fight their respective battles.
