Rapper Tory Lanez has confirmed he is recovering following a reported stabbing incident that occurred Monday morning, May 12, 2025, inside California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi.
Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, was allegedly attacked by another inmate around 7:20 a.m. and sustained multiple stab wounds, including to the face and body.
He was transported via ambulance to a civilian hospital in Bakersfield, where he received treatment for injuries described as non-life-threatening. According to several sources, including the New York Post and People, Lanez suffered a collapsed lung and is currently in stable condition.
Lanez’s team has issued a brief written statement on his behalf confirming that he is recovering and appreciates the public’s concern.
The stabbing comes at a time when Lanez remains at the center of ongoing legal scrutiny. Megan Thee Stallion was recently granted a restraining order against him related to alleged cyber harassment, adding to the broader legal complications stemming from his 2022 conviction.
Fans have taken to social media to express support as details surrounding the attack continue to unfold.
