Rapper Tory Lanez was hospitalized Monday after being stabbed during an altercation in a California prison in Tehachapi.
According to law enforcement sources and additional reports, the 31-year-old was attacked by another inmate while in the prison yard and required immediate medical treatment at a civilian hospital in Bakersfield.
Though the exact motive behind the stabbing remains unclear, sources close to the situation confirm that Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, sustained injuries that, while serious, are not considered life-threatening. The incident prompted an emergency response, and he was transported off-site by ambulance for further care.
The rapper is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence following his conviction for the 2020 shooting of Grammy-winning artist Megan Thee Stallion. That incident, which drew massive media coverage, occurred in the Hollywood Hills after a party.
