Rapper Tory Lanez, currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, was reportedly stabbed in prison on Monday morning. The incident occurred around 7:20 a.m. at the California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi. According to a statement from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Lanez was immediately attended to by staff and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The circumstances surrounding the attack remain under investigation by CCI and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office. The extent of Lanez’s injuries is currently unknown.
Lanez’s conviction stems from a 2020 shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion. He was found guilty on three felony counts: assault with a semi-automatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. The high-profile case included accusations of intimidation and harassment against Megan Thee Stallion following the shooting. Lanez maintained his innocence throughout the trial.
The news of the stabbing adds another layer of complexity to the already controversial case. While details are still emerging, the incident raises concerns about safety and security within the prison system. Updates on Lanez’s condition are expected as the investigation progresses. This developing story will be updated as more information becomes available.
