Tory Lanez's family share update after he was stabbed 14 times in prison
Rapper Tory Lanez was reportedly stabbed 14 times by a fellow inmate in a California prison and his family have given an update on his condition as he continues to recover
Tory Lanez is on the mend in hospital after being stabbed multiple times.
The 'Say It' rapper, 32, is recuperating while serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
On May 12, an update via his official Instagram account revealed the severity of his situation: "Tory was stabbed 14 times - including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face. Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own."
The statement continued with optimism: "Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through. He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support," accompanied by emojis representing prayer hands and an umbrella.
Lanez's community showed up in the comments section to offer their support. Reactions included heartfelt messages like: "God is great! ! ! Praying for you bro.", reports the Mirror US.
Shocked fans expressed disbelief - "I can't believe this," penned one user. Others shared encouragement: "We can't lose you bro. By gods name he will keep you here."
Well wishes flowed as another hoped for a "Speedy recovery," while someone else conveyed, "This makes my heart hurt!".
One particular fan's comment stood out: "Listen TORY we can't loose you... This will break us.... Please and please stay strong for us... We out here rooting for YOU.... and ALL OF US have you in our prayers every day."
TMZ was first on the scene with the scoop on Monday morning, revealing that the RandB crooner found himself in a dangerous scuffle at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he was reportedly stabbed by another inmate.
The shocking incident occurred shortly after Lanez flaunted his muscular physique from prison on social media last week, teasing fans with news of an upcoming album drop.
Lanez is behind bars serving a decade-long sentence for the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion, who's now 30.
In a dramatic turn of events in December 2024, Megan sought legal protection, filing for a restraining order to halt what she described as Lanez's 'psychological warfare'. However, his attorneys were quick to counter her claims.
Megan alleged she was being targeted online by bloggers in cahoots with Tory, accusing the singer of collaborating with these internet scribes to disseminate false and damaging stories about her, amounting to "psychological warfare."
Moreover, she voiced her unease over the timing of his legal maneuvers, which coincided with several important projects she had in the pipeline.

'Inspiring' Lewis Capaldi surprises fans again after secret Glastonbury set
Lewis Capaldi surprised another set of festival goers a day after his Glastonbury performance and was hailed for being an inspiration Lewis Capaldi has been at it again after an emotional Glastonbury comeback on Friday. The Scottish singer stunned the Worthy Farm crowd with a surprise set at this year's festival. But it wasn't just the British fans he wanted to make it up to. Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the Someone You Loved singer, 28, wrote: "Had to come back and make it up to you all x" And in similar fashion to his gig a day earlier, Lewis surprised fans in Switzerland after previously having to pull out of a show in 2023. The clip shared by Lewis showed the crowd being told in Switzerland in 2023: "Lewis Capaldi can't sing for us right now. "So we're going to sing for Lewis Capaldi." The scenes showed how the crowd at the time at OpenAir St Gallen coming together to show support for the star by singing his hit tune. Lewis then told his followers: "You filled in for me when I couldn't be there." And a video then showed him walking back on stage to huge applause as he said: "Switzerland 2025 I wanted to make it up to you." After waving at his adoring crowd, he then said: "My name's Lewis Capaldi and I'm f***ing back baby. Here we go." He paused mid song once again to emotionally take in the moment as the crowd serenaded him. As he finished the song he shared a sweet laugh at the scenes as fans flashed love heart signs with their hands. Fans in the comment section were keen to also share their support to the pop star. One user gushes: "The LEGEND IS BACK," while another praised: "What a comeback," with a love heart emoji. A third told him: "You are so incredibly loved. It was great to see you on that stage," an another added: "This is why we need to support each other with understanding, support and grace. I LOVE this. And it's very, very helpful and inspiring. Brilliant! Blessings to all." Following his impressive and emotional comeback, Lewis has released his first new song in two years. He had sent shockwaves on social media when he dropped a teaser for his brand new song in a poignant Instagram video just hours before his Glastonbury appearance. The song, titled Survive, clearly means a lot to the BRIT Award winning artist who has faced much turmoil over the past two years after stepping out of the limelight due to his mental health. Alongside the video, Lewis wrote: "It's been a while." And in classic Lewis style, the artist's new song is full of emotion. Lyrics on the track include "I swear to God I'll survive" and "I'm going to get up and live until the day that I die."

Dangerous stalker back behind bars after Instagram post
Dangerous stalker back behind bars after Instagram post Stalker Neal Hancock has made his victims' lives "hell" Neal Hancock (Image: South Wales Police ) A "dangerous" stalker is back behind bars after trying to contact one of his victims on social media. Last year Neal Hancock was jailed for breaching a restraining order following a lengthy and sinister campaign of harassment against three people. Now Hancock is back in prison after breaching the restraining order again, this time by approaching one of his victims on Instagram something he is prohibited from doing. In an interview with Walesonline last year, Hancock's victims bravely spoke out to detail the devastating impact his behaviour was having on their lives. Bethan Simms from Port Talbot described how the defendant would constantly bombard her with messages on Facebook, creating new accounts every time she blocked him. Hancock then began stalking her in person as well as online, and also started stalking Bethan's mother Kathryn. The defendant would message the women detailing exactly where they were and what they were doing when they were out and about, and he told Bethan that he knew she had children and he described them to her in detail. Article continues below The stalking of Bethan went on for more than four years and became so bad she felt scared to leave her house and she had to tell her children's school and show them pictures from social media of what her stalker looked like in the hope that staff would recognise him if he was seen near the school. It then emerged the daughter and mother were not Hancock's only victims when a mutual friend introduced them to Carl Mallon, someone who had known of the defendant in their teenage years. In Carl's case what began as homophobic abuse and name-calling turned into stalking which continued for a much longer period than it did for Bethan. It crippled Carl to the point he left his job and moved house. You can read our interview with the victims here - "Our stalker has made our life hell for years" Article continues below Neal Hancock, aged 39, previously of Lingfield Avenue, Port Talbot, but now of Ambassador Hotel, The Parade, Neath, pleaded guilty to breaching a restraining order by sending a message to Bethan Simms on Instagram when he appeared at Swansea Magistrates Court. The defendant was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison. Speaking after the sentencing South Wales Police inspector Jared Easton said: "Neal Hancock is clearly a dangerous individual who refuses to learn his lesson and has caused all manner of trauma for his poor victim. His behaviour towards this victim has been ongoing for several years now. It is completely unacceptable, and nobody should have to put up with a prolonged campaign like this."
