Tory Lanez was rushed to a Bakersfield hospital Monday after being stabbed multiple times in the face by another inmate during yard time at the California Correctional Institution, TMZ first reported.

Prison officials say Lanez, 32, endured the attack in a Tehachapi exercise yard when an assailant struck him with a homemade weapon. Corrections officers rendered first aid and summoned an ambulance, which transported the rapper to a civilian facility for treatment of his facial wounds.

Lanez is serving a 10-year sentence for the July 2020 shooting of fellow artist Megan Thee Stallion outside a Hollywood Hills party. He was convicted in December 2022 on three felony counts — assault with a semiautomatic firearm, carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence — and remains free to appeal.

In January, Megan Thee Stallion obtained a five-year restraining order against Lanez, telling a judge she feared he might attack her again. In April, her lawyers sought to hold him in contempt after he “disrupted” her deposition in a civil defamation case she filed against influencer Milagro Cooper.
