Tory Lanez demands $100 million for prison stabbing

Tory Lanez is suing for a prison stabbing that sent him to the hospital…and he’s seeking a whopping $100 million in damages.

The rapper has just filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, as well as the warden and 50 corrections officers at the California Correctional Institution (CCI) in Tehachapi, where he was stabbed.

In documents obtained by TMZ, Tory says he was stabbed 16 times by a rod-wielding fellow inmate in May 2025 and suffered permanent facial scarring and two collapsed lungs.

Tory claims he was attacked by Santino Casio… and he says the prison screwed up by housing them together. He says Casio has a “violent past” and should never have been locked up near him because of his celebrity status, which he says makes him a target.

In the documents, Tory claims that the director, Danny Samuelviolated CDCR protocols by housing him at Casio.

Tory alleges that prison staff were MIA during the stabbing…and he says it’s unclear why their response was delayed. He claims the prison showed “deliberate indifference to predictable violence”… and that prison guards failed to adequately protect him.

Additionally, Tory claims that while he was recovering in the hospital, his original songbooks containing previously unreleased lyrics were seized…along with notes with his attorney. Tory says the lyrics have “substantial commercial value.”

Tory is suing for $100 million in damages… including $1 million per stabbing and $10 million for facial scarring. He also wants his original songbooks returned to him.

We have contacted CDCR…so far, no response.
