Year in Review: Tory Lanez’s Turbulent 2025 [Brutal Prison Stabbing, Appeal Denials, & More]

Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2025 was full of monumentally memorable moments!

Now, as the year draws to a close, That Grape Juice is reflecting on the occasions that rocked – and to some degree maybe even reshaped – the Urban and Pop cultural landscape as we know it.

Next, let’s talk about the ongoing legal saga of Tory Lanez.

The Canadian rapper, despite serving a 10-year sentence for his connection to the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion, still dominated headlines in 2025.

Beyond managing to release new music throughout the year, Lanez (born Daystar Peterson) caught more attention from the news cycles for dealings happening behind bars – namely, the shocking news he was stabbed 14 times by a fellow inmate and suffered a collapsed lung as a result.

Elsewhere in the year, he was hit with more legal blows when a California appeals court flat-out denied his bid to overturn his felony convictions and 10-year prison sentence.

Look below to see highlights from Tory’s tumultuous 2025.
