05/12/2025“Tory was stabbed 14 times, including seven wounds to his back, four to his torso, two to the back of his head and one to the left side of his face,” the statement reads. “Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus. He is now breathing on his own.”
The statement continued: “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 the continued prayers and support.”
Billboard has reached out to his attorney for comment.
The Canadian artist was attacked by an inmate inside California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi around 7:20 a.m. PT, according to a spokesperson for the prison who talked with ABC News. “Staff immediately responded, activated 911 and began medical aid. Peterson was subsequently transported to an outside medical facility for further treatment,” the spokesperson relayed.
Crystal Morgan, Lanez’s attorney, confirmed to ABC News that the singer remained hospitalized as of Monday night.
Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence in prison 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 an argument with the singer and was walking away when Lanez shouted, “Dance, bitch!” and shot her in the feet. Megan was granted a five-year restraining order against Lanez in January.
