Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has reportedly been stabbed multiple times in a violent altercation behind bars, sending shockwaves through the music world and sparking urgent concerns about prison safety.
Alleged reports emerging from North Kern State Prison, California — where Lanez is serving a 10-year sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion — suggest the rapper was ambushed and stabbed up to 14 times by fellow inmates. While the full extent of his injuries remains unclear, speculation is rife over his condition, as fans await official word from authorities.
Social media erupted within hours of the news, with supporters and critics alike questioning how such a high-profile inmate could fall victim to such brutality. “Isn’t this exactly what prison officials are supposed to prevent?” one fan tweeted, while others voiced concerns about rising violence within U.S. correctional facilities.
Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, has kept a relatively low profile since beginning his sentence. However, his legal team has remained active, pursuing appeals and pushing back against the original court ruling.
This latest development adds fuel to the fire in ongoing debates around celebrity incarceration, inmate protection, and the volatile dynamics of prison culture.
Without confirmation from prison authorities, the full truth remains under wraps — but one thing is clear: if the reports hold weight, the system meant to punish and rehabilitate may have just failed in its most basic duty — to protect.
