Tory Lanez Reportedly Stabbed in Prison

Tory Lanez was stabbed in prison, TMZ reports.

The singer and rapper was allegedly attacked by a fellow inmate. The assault took place in a housing unit at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, California, around 7 a.m., according to an email to the Associated Press from Pedro Calderon Michel, spokesman for the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. 

Lanez was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Hours after the news broke, Lanez’s Instagram was updated with a statement saying he 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.”

The statement also said Lanez’s lungs collapsed and that he was then placed on a “breathing apparatus.”

“He is now breathing on his own,” the statement said. “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.”
