LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities said Tuesday that a man who attacked rapper Tory Lanez in a California prison is an inmate serving a life sentence for second-degree murder who was previously convicted for an in-prison assault with a deadly weapon.

Rapper Tory Lanez is “pulling through” after being “stabbed 14 times” in a California prison on Monday. A post on his social media said Lanez, born Daystar Peterson, had been “stabbed 14 times, including 7 wounds to his back, 4 to his torso, 2 to the back of his head, and 1 to the left side of his face”.

Tory Lanez is lucky to be alive after being shanked in prison yesterday morning, as the rapper suffered 14 puncture wounds, resulting in both of his lungs collapsing. Tory Lanez’s Team Releases Statement About Stabbing On Monday night (May 12),
