Tory Lanez is recovering well and has been transferred back to prison, days after a shock attack that left him in critical condition.
The musician, 32, suffered severe injuries after he was stabbed 14 times in a Tehachapi-based California Correctional institution early Monday.
Now insiders have confirmed his condition has ‘stabilized’ to the point he is capable of talking and breathing without assistance.
Although he was previously at a medical center in Bakersfield, California, he has now been moved back to the prison hospital, sources inform TMZ.
Meanwhile prison officials described the rapper – who is behind bars for his 2020 shooting of his ex Megan Thee Stallion – as being in fair condition.
The update comes after the inmate who allegedly stabbed Lanez was identified as a man serving a life sentence for a murder charge.

The man who is allegedly responsible, Santino Casio, 42, has currently been put in restricted housing while an investigation takes place, according to TMZ.
Casio received a life sentence with the possibility of parole for second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, personal use of a dangerous or deadly weapon, and inflicting great bodily injury.
Casio had reportedly been involved in another violent incident during his time in prison, before the alleged stabbing of Lanez, who is currently serving a 10-year sentence after shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the feet nearly five years ago.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation disclosed that Casio was sentenced to six years after he assaulted a prisoner with a deadly weapon or force likely to cause great bodily injury.
He also reportedly received a two-year sentence for possessing or manufacturing a deadly weapon.
He has been in prison in Los Angeles County since February 2004.

On Monday afternoon, Tory’s team revealed that he had been stabbed via a statement on Instagram.

Reps for Lanez said that ‘despite being in pain, he is talking normally, in good spirits, and deeply thankful to God that he is pulling through.
‘He also wants to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support.’
Lanez was attacked at a housing unit at around 7:20 a.m., the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation confirmed with DailyMail.com.

‘Staff immediately responded, activated 911 and began medical aid. Peterson was subsequently transported to an outside medical facility for further treatment,’ Pedro Calderón Michel, the organization’s deputy press secretary, told DailyMail.com.
CCI’s Investigative Services Unit and the Kern County District Attorney’s Office are now investigating the incident. The Office of the Inspector General has also been made aware.
An insider told TMZ that an ambulance rushed Lanez to a civilian hospital in Bakersfield, a town about an hour drive away.
Page Six reports Lanez was stabbed numerous times in the face.

Lanez is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence after shooting rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the feet.
He was convicted in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm; keeping a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging the firearm with gross negligence.
In August of 2023, Lanez received a 10-year prison sentence in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday, in connection with three felony convictions in the July 2020 incident in the Hollywood Hills.
In the sentencing, Judge David Herriford said that the positive portrait Lanez’s relatives and friends had painted in their testimony in the trial was ‘difficult to reconcile’ with his actions toward Megan.

‘Sometimes good people do bad things,’ Herriford told the court, according to the AP. ‘Actions have consequences, and there are no winners in this case.’
In the trial, Megan testified Lanez had shot at her feet and yelled at her to dance as she was getting out of an SUV following a party at the home of Kylie Jenner.
Megan, who initially did not publicly identify Lanez as the shooter, testified she had to undergo surgery to take bullet fragments out of her feet.
‘Since I was viciously shot by the defendant, I have not experienced a single day of peace,’ the songstress said in a statement a prosecutor read prior to the sentencing. ‘Slowly but surely, I’m healing and coming back, but I will never be the same.’
Prior to his sentence being read, Lanez – who faced up to 22 years in custody – had asked the judge for a short sentence or probation, stating his regret of the incident in hindsight.
‘If I could turn back the series of events that night and change them, I would,’ Lanez told the judge. ‘The victim was my friend.
‘The victim is someone I still care for to this day. Everything I did wrong that night, I take full responsibility for.’
Lanez was credited 10 months for time served, as he has been in custody since his conviction in December.
Lanez’s lead lawyer Jose Baez said he was ‘extremely disappointed’ with the sentence, and felt that it was ‘to set an example.’ since the rapper is a celebrity.
Baez added, ‘He´s not an example – he’s a human being. I have seen vehicular homicide and other cases where there’s death, and the defendant still gets less than 10 years.’

In February, he filed an appeal, with his legal team claiming ‘erroneous admission of evidence’ and ‘prosecutorial misconduct’ as their reason for the appeal, according to Us Weekly.
Prosecutors spoke positively of Megan for her fortitude in coming forward amid online hate and mockery aimed at her over the incident involving Lanez.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said, ‘I hope that Miss Pete’s bravery gives hope to those who feel helpless.’
