Tory Lanez Hospitalized After Stabbing Incident in California Prison**

Tory Lanez, serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, was stabbed in prison and taken to a hospital for treatment. Authorities are investigating the incident.**

Rapper Tory Lanez was hospitalized following a stabbing incident at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, where he is serving a 10-year sentence. The incident took place on Tuesday morning, about 75 miles north of Los Angeles, when another inmate attacked him in a housing unit. Pedro Calderón Michel from the state's corrections department reported that staff responded promptly by activating 911 and providing immediate medical aid. Subsequently, Lanez was transported to a local hospital for further treatment.

At 31 years old, Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, is currently incarcerated for his 2020 conviction related to shooting fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has not released specific details regarding Lanez's injuries, although sources indicate that they were not life-threatening. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing has been initiated, but motives for the assault remain unclear.

Lanez was sentenced to prison in 2023 after being found guilty on three felony gun-related charges, which notably included assault with a semi-automatic firearm. The shooting incident occurred after an altercation between Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion, real name Megan Pete, as they left a party at Kylie Jenner's home. Testimonies revealed a heated argument that escalated to Lanez firing a gun, injuring Megan and requiring her to undergo surgery for bullet fragment removal.

Despite the gravity of his offense, Lanez has remained adamant about his innocence regarding the shooting, refusing to apologize. The case stirred polarized opinions within the hip-hop community, prompting public support for Lanez from several artists, including efforts to appeal for leniency during sentencing. Prior to his conviction, Lanez achieved considerable success, garnering seven top 10 albums in the U.S. and teasing the release of an upcoming album titled "Peterson" from prison.
