Tory Lanez Reportedly Stabbed in Prison, Injuries Not Life-Threatening

Tory Lanez is making headlines again—this time from behind bars. The rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, was reportedly hospitalized after being stabbed in prison.

On Monday, May 12, TMZ reported that Lanez was allegedly attacked by another inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. According to the outlet, the incident happened during a confrontation in the prison yard.

Multiple sources, including one in law enforcement, told TMZ that Lanez was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. His injuries are reportedly not life-threatening.

Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after being convicted in December 2022 for shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, in July 2020.

In January, Megan was granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE show that the order is valid through Jan. 9, 2030.

The ruling was confirmed by Judge Richard Bloom in the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County after Megan had “sustained burden of proof” in the case, according to Variety.

Reporter Meghann Cuniff shared Megan's statement to the court: “I feel like maybe he’ll shoot me again, and maybe this time I won’t make it.”

The restraining order was based on “unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or stalking.” Megan filed for it in December 2024, saying Lanez had been harassing her from prison using third parties.

The court documents also stated, “Despite being sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Ms. Pete, Mr. Peterson continues to subject her to repeated trauma and revictimization.”

Lanez responded by accusing Megan of “weaponizing the justice system” in his own legal filing.
