Rapper Tory Lanez Stabilized After 14 Stab Wounds in California Prison

Rapper Tory Lanez was violently stabbed 14 times by fellow inmate Santino Casio at the California Correctional Institution in Tehachapi, leaving him with severe injuries including collapsed lungs. Following the May 12 attack, Lanez was initially hospitalized in Bakersfield before being transferred back to the prison hospital, where his condition has stabilized; he is now breathing independently and able to communicate. Casio, who has a history of violent offenses and is serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole, has been placed in restricted housing as authorities investigate the incident, though no charges have been filed yet. Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Despite the gravity of his injuries, Lanez remains in good spirits and is expected to recover fully, according to his attorney and prison officials. The motive behind the stabbing remains unclear, and prison authorities continue to investigate.
