The violent incident happened on Monday, May 12, 202,5, inside the California Correctional Institute in Tehachapi, reports Yahoo News.
It was further reported that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation stated that the 32-year-old rapper was attacked around 7:20 a.m. in a housing unit by another inmate wielding a makeshift weapon.
Authorities are said to have responded swiftly, administering first aid before rushing Lanez to a nearby hospital.
An Instagram account linked to the rapper revealed he sustained 14 stab wounds—seven to his back, two to the back of his head, one to his face—and suffered a collapsed lung.
Despite the severity of the injuries, the post noted that he is now breathing on his own and is “in good spirits” while thanking God for his survival.
Authorities are now investigating the motive behind the attack, with the prison and district attorney’s office involved, along with the Office of the Inspector General.
The Luv rapper is serving a 10-year sentence following his conviction on assault of Megan Thee Stallion in 2022.
Despite being behind bars, Megan Thee Stallion has continued to allege that Lanez harasses her indirectly, prompting a restraining order that has been extended until 2030.

The 27-year-old rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, said,
“It was an argument because I was ready to go, and everybody else wasn’t ready to go. But that’s, like, normal friend stuff. So I get out of the car, and it’s like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, ‘Dance, b**tch.’ And he started shooting. Like, he shot a couple of times. And I was so scared.”
