Tory Lanez Hospitalized Following Prison Stabbing: Report
Tory Lanez (real name Daystar Peterson) was the victim of a prison stabbing on Monday morning (May 12). According to TMZ, Lanez was rushed to a nearby hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., to treat his injuries. The Canadian singer was reportedly in the prison yard of California Correctional Institution when he was the victim of a brutal attack. Details of the stabbing or the motivation behind the attack remain unclear.

'UPDATE : 2025,' he captioned the post. 'IYKYK LESS IMPORTANT UPDATE : 2ND ALBUM 100 % RECORDED, MIXED & MASTERED NEW ALBUM. NEW GENRE: SLUTTY BASS SUMMER 2025.' Lanez continued to detail the genre's origins: 'ALONE AT PROM + MIAMI BASS + ALVIN AND THE MONK$ + SLUTTY DARK RNB VIBES = SLUTTY BASS COMING THIS SUMMER.' The 32-year-old also dropped his 'Lotta Money Ave (Lost Tapes 2017)' single onto streaming services as a gift for fans on Friday. Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August 2023 after being convicted on three felony counts related to him shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet during a heated dispute outside a Hollywood Hills party in July 2020. According to prosecutors, Megan got out of a car during the argument and was walking away when Lanez shouted, 'Dance, bitch!', and shot at her feet. The singer was eventually charged in October 2022. Megan was eventually granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez in January. 'I want my restraining order because I haven't been at peace since I [was] shot,' she said during her emotional testimony on video. 'I feel like maybe he'll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won't make it.' In April, Thee Stallion's attorneys filed for Lanez to be held in contempt of court over 'disruptive' and 'inflammatory' behavior during a civil case deposition, which reportedly went so bad that it had to be cut short. 'Mr. Peterson made a mockery of the proceedings,' Megan's attorneys wrote. 'Nothing short of a contempt finding and meaningful sanctions will deter Mr. Peterson from continuing to abuse the process.' The civil case was filed by Megan Thee Stallion in late 2024 against social media personality Milagro Gramz (Milagro Cooper). Megan claimed that Gramz and Lanez conspired in a 'coordinated campaign' to 'defame and delegitimize' her in the wake of the 2020 shooting and subsequent trial. Billboard has reached out to Tory Lanez's attorney for comment.

Kid Cudi Announces Release Date for ‘Cudi the Memoir'; ‘You'll All Understand Me a Lot More After This'
Kid Cudi has a story to tell. While fans await the follow-up to 2024's Insano (Nitro Mega) album, Cudder announced on Sunday (May 11) that he's prepping his autobiography, Cudi the Memoir, which is due out on August 5. 'I cannot wait for u guys to read it. Its filled w so much about my journey from my first memory to turning 40. Life lessons, the rager period of my life, and fighting my demons,' he wrote on Instagram alongside the apparent cover of the volume, which features a painting of a cartoon face with a wide-open mouth.

I hope this book does what my music does for u and gives u guidance and hope that u will make it through those difficult times. AND, this is my debut of my artwork!' he added. 'I hope u guys like the vibes. There will be more pictures of my paintings in the book, as well as pictures from childhood all the way to my years in the business and all the things I've accomplished. Get ready, you'll all understand me a lot more after this. LOVE YALL MAN!!' Publisher Simon & Schuster calls the book 'raw' and 'fearless,' saying, 'Cudi: The Memoir is Scott Mescudi's most personal work yet. Across a trailblazing career, he's turned pain into poetry with anthems like 'Day 'N' Nite,' 'Pursuit of Happiness' and 'Mr. Rager,'' in a description. 'His music gave voice to the unheard and hope to the unseen. But while he was ascending to cultural dominance, he was quietly unraveling. Written during a time of deep self-discovery, Cudi is a story of survival—through depression, addiction, isolation, and doubt. In his own words, Scott charts the journey back to himself, offering hard-earned lessons on vulnerability, reinvention, and the courage to keep going.' Because he always has a ton of irons in the fire, Cudi shared a cryptic teaser last week for his upcoming 'Neverland' single, which is out now. After earlier claiming that the original 2024 Insano album would be his last, he also noted over the weekend that the song will appear on his upcoming FREE album. In addition to the single and memoir, Cudi wrote that he's directing and starring in his first feature film in 2026 based on a story he came up with himself. He described When the Light Dies as a 'horror/romance film. Ive been wanting to direct movies ever since I was a kid, and im finally stepping into this new chapter,' he wrote. The post teased his directing Instagram page, where he promised to bring fans 'on the journey. Ive been doing test shoots, trying diff lighting techniques and trying diff lenses, and I wanna give u guys access to my mind. Who's joining the journey?' At press time the link to the directing Insta was not active, with Cudi noting in comments that he was working on getting it 'restored' on Monday (May 12) after the service reportedly thought it was hosted by 'someone tryna be me.'
