Tory Lanez suffered a major scare this week while serving his 10-year jail sentence for being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in her feet. The 32-year-old artist revealed that he was stabbed 14 times and the ensuing bodily effects he had to endure.
Lanez suffered seven stab wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head, and one to the left side of his face, per his Instagram post. These damages caused both of his lungs to collapse, and he required breathing assistance via a device. At the time of his Instagram post, they said he finally gained the ability to breathe on his own.
“Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” they added. “He also wants thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.” Check out the post below.
The attack reportedly occurred on Monday (May 12) at 7:00 a.m. at a housing unit associated with California Correctional Institution, according to The Associated Press. Tory Lanez was immediately given aid and rushed to an outside hospital, per Pedro Calderon Michel, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The prison’s investigative unit and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are both investigating the matter.
There were mixed reactions in the “LUV” artist’s comments. “This is a hit on his life!!!” one fan wrote. “He needs protection!” Another fan left a lengthy prayer for his safety and protection in the comments. Others, presumably Megan Thee Stallion fans, weren’t so empathetic. “You get what u give Tory,” one user wrote. “How sad what happened to him. How fortunate he isn’t a woman, because maybe they’d be blaming him for what happened…just like they do to us women.”
Lanez was found guilty on all counts in December 2022 after his trial for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in July 2022. The artists were reportedly involved in a romantic relationship and got into an argument while leaving Kylie Jenner’s house in Hollywood Hills. After the Houston rapper exited the vehicle, the Daystar artist shot the gun at the back of her feet and ordered her to dance. Lanez denied his accusations for the entirety of the process and even unsuccessfully attempted to appeal his conviction.
