Tory Lanez faced a life-threatening situation earlier this week after a fellow inmate brutally stabbed him multiple times. Initial reports downplayed the gravity of the situation, but sources recently clarified what happened, sparking an outpour of support for Lanez. The rapper fell from grace after being convicted of shooting Megan Thee Stallion and received a ten-year prison sentence.
Lanez’s time behind bars became a worrisome situation when inmate Santino Casio stabbed him 14 times on Monday. Prison officials revealed the entertainer was stabbed 7 times in the back, 4 times in the torso, and 3 times in the head and face. The situation worsened after Lanez’s team shared that he was placed on a breathing apparatus after his lungs collapsed.
These shocking reports contradicted Lanez’s attorney Jose Baez’s comments to TMZ earlier this week. At the time, he said, “Tory is upbeat. He’s in good spirits. He is recovering. He is a strong young man. He’s expected to make a recovery.” Fortunately, the outlet confirmed Lanez’s condition has “stabilized” as he can now breathe independently and talk.
Fans Shocked by News of Tory Lanez’s Gruesome Stabbing
Reports of Lanez’s improved condition continued with sources with direct knowledge noting he had returned to the prison hospital. Before his transfer, the rapper spent the last few days getting treatment at a medical facility in Bakersfield. Many reacted to the news of the brutal incident on X, with some shocked that he survived 14 stabs.
“Hard to believe that’s possible, but God definitely got his back cause 14 wounds is tough,” someone noted. Another echoed similar sentiments, stating they were “glad” Lanez survived. Others suspected the stabbing was planned, calling out initial reports that downplayed the situation. These conspiracy theorists blamed Roc Nation, with someone writing:
“Roc Nation back at it again. No one believes y’all anymore. Same clowns who said it wasn’t serious when it happened.”
“Y’all expect us to believe y’all? Y’all said it wasn’t life-threatening, meanwhile the man was stabbed 14 times and almost died. You’re just trying to get the story to die down and not have the prison sued,” a critic alleged. The sentiments continued with an X user wondering if the prison warden and Roc Nation were bribing people to downplay the incident.
