He has been serving his time in a California prison, and on Monday, a spokesperson for the star confirmed that Tory had been rushed to hospital after he was stabbed 14 times.
In a statement that was posted to Tory’s still-active Instagram account, which has over 11 million followers, it was said that Tory suffered two collapsed lungs following the attack, but is now “talking normally” and in “good spirits.”
Per the BBC, Tory — real name Daystar Peterson — was attacked by another inmate at around 07:20 a.m. local time, and prison staff began aid on Tory before he was taken to a local medical facility for further treatment. A spokesperson for California’s corrections department, Pedro Calderón, added that an investigation into the stabbing is underway.

“Tory was 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,” the statement on Tory’s Instagram page began. “Both of his lungs collapsed, and he was placed on a breathing apparatus.”
“He is now breathing on his own. Despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through,” the statement continued. “He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.”
Megan was shot during a pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house in July 2020, with Megan testifying that Tory had said: “Dance, bitch,” as he started shooting at her feet.

“I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me,” she said during an interview with CBS Mornings. “I was really scared, ’cause I had never been shot at before.”
When Megan’s allegations were first made public, she was accused of lying about being shot — with other high-profile stars like Drake and Nicki Minaj among the big names to fuel this cruel speculation, and Megan reflected on this in an interview with Rolling Stone.

Referencing claims that she’d seen on social media that she was lying about the incident, Megan told the publication: “In some kind of way, I became the villain. And I don’t know if people don’t take it seriously because I seem strong.”
“I wonder if it’s because of the way I look. Is it because I’m not light enough? Is it that I’m not white enough? Am I not the shape? The height? Because I’m not petite?” she added. “Do I not seem like I’m worth being treated like a woman?”
