Lanez Stabbed 14 Times in Prison Assault
In a statement on Tory’s Instagram page, his team revealed that the rap star was stabbed 14 times in the assault. Including twice in the back of his head. And as a result, both of the “Proud Family” creators’ lungs collapsed.
“Tory 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,” Lanez’ team said in the statement. “Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus.”
Thankfully, the rap star appears to be recovering well. As his team noted, he is still in pain but is “Thankful to God” for “pulling through.
“He is now breathing on his own. Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” the statement adds. “He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.”
For those who may be tardy to the party, Tory Lanez is currently locked up for shooting rap star Megan Thee Stallion in the foot during an altercation that occurred at a pool party hosted by reality star Kylie Jenner in 2020. In 2024, the rap star was sentenced to ten years in prison for the assault. Despite being charged with the crime, Tory and many of his contemporaries in the music industry continue to maintain his innocence.
