Lanez was reportedly stabbed on Tuesday morning and quickly received medical attention from prison staff, who activated 911 before he was taken to a local hospital. Though details about his injuries remain sparse, sources suggest they are non-life-threatening. An investigation has commenced to determine the motive behind the attack, which took place at approximately 7:20 AM local time.
At 31 years old, Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, has been incarcerated since being sentenced in 2023 for three felony gun charges related to the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion during a heated argument in July 2020. The dispute escalated after leaving a pool party at Kylie Jenner's mansion, leading to Lanez shooting at the ground and making an infamous comment instructing Megan to "dance". Following the incident, she required surgery for bullet injuries.
Despite being convicted, Lanez has maintained his innocence and even hinted at releasing a new album titled "Peterson" from behind bars. The controversy surrounding the shooting has polarized the hip-hop community, with notable figures expressing support for him during his trial.
