() The father of imprisoned rapper Tory Lanez, who was convicted in the shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, says his son is being transferred to another facility after being stabbed 14 times in prison.

“He is being moved right now as we speak, and we have concerns,” Sonstar Peterson said Wednesday on ’s “CUOMO.” “He has just been discharged not many days ago from the hospital, and he was discharged with 14 stab wounds.”

Peterson said prison officials are moving his son as part of standard protocol following the attack, which collapsed Lanez’s lungs. He said that his son was the victim in the prison incident and “never provoked” the attack.

“He is someone who is liked. He’s not someone who is a troublemaker,” Peterson said, adding that correctional officers told him they were surprised Lanez was involved in any incident.

Tory Lanez team claims video proves he didn’t shoot Megan Thee Stallion

The transfer comes as a sworn affidavit has emerged that could undermine the prosecution’s case. A bodyguard, who was hired to accompany witness Kelsey Harris during the trial, claims he overheard Harris confess to firing the gun herself.

According to the affidavit, Harris told her boyfriend she shot the gun three times in the air before Lanez ran up to her, grabbed her arm, pushed it down, and she fired twice more into the ground.

The guard claims he overheard Harris saying to her boyfriend, “How can I not tell on myself?” and “How am I protected if I tell certain things?”

Lanez’s team says the Nest camera audio footage captures what sounds like three gunshots, followed by a pause, then two more shots, corroborating the bodyguard’s testimony.

Lanez was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion after a party at Kylie Jenner’s Hollywood Hills home in July 2020. The conviction was based largely on testimony from Megan Thee Stallion and Harris, as well as DNA evidence.

However, the DNA evidence showed only a 0.01% chance that genetic material on the weapon belonged to Lanez, with multiple other people’s DNA found on the gun.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has separately called for California Gov. Gavin Newsom to pardon Lanez, citing what she calls new evidence proving his innocence.
