Rapper Tory Lanez’s lungs collapsed after 14 stabs in prison yard

Tory Lanez was hospitalized in critical condition Monday after an angry inmate savagely attacked him with a prison shank, stabbing him over a dozen times all over his body … with the rapper suffering collapsed lungs.

Tory’s team says he was stabbed 14 times … including 7 times in his back, 4 times in his torso, twice the back of the head and once in the left side of his face.

Both of his lungs collapsed and Tory was placed on a breathing apparatus … though he is now breathing on his own, according to his camp.

Torey’s reps say he is in pain but is talking normally, in good spirits and deeply thankful to God for surviving … and he’s thanking everyone out there who is supporting him.

Tory’s attorney Jose Baez tells TMZ … Tory is upbeat. He’s in good spirits. He is recovering. He is a strong young man. He’s expected to make a recovery.

As we reported … Tory was attacked at about 7:20 AM, according to a state corrections official, by another inmate at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi. Tory was rushed by ambulance to an off-site hospital, then airlifted to Kern Medical Hospital due to the seriousness of his condition.

The stabbing occurred at around 7:20 a.m. local time Monday and Lanez was transported by ambulance to an outside hospital before he was ultimately airlifted to Kern Medical Hospital in critical condition.

Officials have not made public the identity of Lanez’s attacker nor what the inmate is serving time for. It’s unclear whether Lanez and the inmate had any prior association.

The Daily News has reached out to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation seeking additional information about the incident and attacker.

In 2023, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years for firing five shots at Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, after a 2020 bash at Kylie Jenner’s home.

Earlier this year, Megan, 30, secured a five-year restraining order against Lanez, who she said was using third parties to harass her while he serves time.

“I’m scared that when he gets out of jail, he’s going to still be upset with me,” the Grammy-winning rapper said in an emotional video testimonial in January.

Megan shared her fear that Lanez would maybe “shoot me again” once free and that then, she might not “make it.

“I haven’t been at peace since I was shot,” she said. “I’m just tired of being harassed.”
