On Monday, news broke that the rapper was stabbed by another inmate and rushed to the hospital soon after.

The update provided by Lanez's team revealed that he was stabbed multiple times and suffered damage to both of his lungs.

Hours after reports of the stabbing incident made headlines, Lanez's team shared an update on his condition via a post on his Instagram page.

The statement began, "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."

The outlet broke the news of Lanez's stabbing on Monday. Sources revealed that Lanez, who is serving a 10-year jail term at California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, was in the facility's yard when another inmate stabbed him.

At this time, the motivation for the attack on the rapper remains unknown.

Following the incident, an ambulance rushed Lanez to a nearby civilian hospital in Bakersfield.

The attack on Lanez came a few days after he shared pictures of himself from prison.

The photos showed him posing with other inmates and showing off his muscular physique.

Lanez also announced that his upcoming album would be released in the summer of 2025.

The "Say It" crooner also disclosed that he had fully "recorded, mixed & mastered" a second album from prison.

This disclosure appealed to many of his fans, who expressed their delight and praised him for being hardworking. Others shared how much they missed him and prayed for his release from prison.

Tory Lanez's incarceration stems from a July 12, 2020, incident in which he shot fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

He was initially arrested for carrying a concealed firearm after a party in the Hollywood Hills, but later accused by Megan of intentionally shooting her in the feet while she was walking away. She publicly named him as the shooter in August 2020.

Lanez denied the allegations in his 2020 album "Daystar," sparking backlash and a media firestorm. He was formally charged in October 2020 with multiple felonies, including assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered weapon. A protective order was issued to keep him away from Megan.

In April 2022, Lanez violated the order and was briefly re-arrested. On December 23, 2022, he was found guilty on all counts and taken into custody. He was sentenced on August 8, 2023.

The legal battle continues after the sentencing. Lanez is appealing his conviction, while Megan has secured a restraining order extended to 2030.

She has also filed a defamation lawsuit against Lanez and blogger Milagro "Gramz" Cooper for allegedly spreading false information. Lanez now faces a civil contempt motion for inappropriate conduct during a deposition in the ongoing lawsuit.
