Investigation launched into Tory Lanez prison stabbing
An investigation is underway after Tory Lanez was stabbed in prison, The Post can confirm. A representative from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation told The Post exclusively that 'an investigation has been initiated' by the California Correctional Institution, the state's prison system where Lanez is behind bars. We're also told that the state's prison-oversight agency, the Office of the Inspector General, 'has been notified' about the incident. The Kern County District Attorney's Office will be ready to step in if investigators find a reason to pursue charges against any of the involved parties, with a spokesperson telling The Post, 'Our office awaits a formal complaint following the investigation.' The rapper, 32, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was stabbed on Monday morning by another inmate at the Tehachapi prison where Lanez is serving 10 years after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. 'At approximately 7:20 a.m. today, Daystar Peterson ([inmate number] BW0168) was attacked by another inmate at a housing unit in the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Staff immediately responded, activated 911 and began medical aid. Peterson was subsequently transported to an outside medical facility for further treatment,' the CDCR spokesperson confirmed to The Post. The representative also handed out Lanez's mug shot, taken in October 2023, which he said is the 'latest photograph' of the rapper. It was likely taken when he entered the Tehachapi facility. After the stabbing, Lanez was taken to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield, California, via an ambulance and treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to TMZ, which first broke the story. At this time, the motivation behind the attack remains unclear. The Post reached out to Lanez's rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. On Thursday, the 'Alone at Prom' rapper shared a photo on Instagram of him with fellow inmates in jail, and teased that he's dropping an album soon. 'UPDATE : 2025 …. IYKYK . LESS IMPORTANT UPDATE : 2ND ALBUM 100 % RECORDED, MIXED & MASTERED NEW ALBUM. NEW GENRE : S—-Y BASS SUMMER 2025,' he wrote. Lanez was taken into custody immediately following his conviction in December 2022. He was found guilty of three felonies: assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. Megan, 30, took the stand during his trial and emotionally detailed her lasting scars from being shot by Lanez after leaving a party at Kylie Jenner's home on July 12, 2020. The 'WAP' rapper testified that Lanez fired the gun at her feet and shouted for her to 'dance b—-' as she exited and began walking away from the vehicle they were both riding in. She also claimed that Lanez offered her a whopping $1 million to keep quiet. Megan was forced to undergo surgery to remove the bullet fragments that were lodged in her feet. The Grammy winner took a beating from the hip-hop community after coming clean about the shooting, with several in the music industry showing their public support for Lanez. Megan was granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez in January after claiming he was still harassing her during his incarceration. 'I feel like maybe he'll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won't make it,' she reportedly stated in her request. The restraining order is effective until 2030. Lanez will be eligible for parole in 2029.

Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Getting Stabbed In Prison (Reports)
Rapper Tory Lanez was stabbed in prison at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi on Monday, according to several reports. According to TMZ and the Los Angeles Times, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was in the yard outside Monday morning when another inmate stabbed him. Per TMZ, he was taken to a local hospital in Bakersfield to treat his injuries, which aren't considered life-threatening, and it's unclear what had provoked the attack.

Peterson is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion. The two got into a heated argument while in a car outside a Hollywood hills party during the summer of 2020. Meg got out of the car, and and as prosecutors said, Lanez yelled 'dance, bitch,' and shot at her feet, wounding her. Peterson was charged in 2020 and convicted in 2022 before he was sentenced in August of 2023. Peterson released the eponymous Peterson, his first album since his 2022 conviction, back in March. He shared a post on Instagram Friday confirming a new album called Slutty Bass would also release at some point this summer. 'Alone at Prom + Miami Bass + Alvin and the Monk$ + slutty dark rnb vibes = Slutty Bass,' the rapper wrote. Peterson's trial was one of the most high-profile legal cases in music in years, drawing media attention around the globe as online fans scrutinized the case and Megan Thee Stallion's own claims. Meg has spoken about the online vitriol, telling Women's Health last year that 'people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace.' 'A lot of people didn't treat me like I was human for a long time,' Stallion said. 'I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me.'
