It's April 18th, from char toppers to breaking drops. This is music news today, powered by AI. Tori Lenez just slapped the California Department of Corrections with a $100 million lawsuit after getting stabbed in prison back in May, 2025. He's suing the Warden and Guards too at the California Correctional Institute in Tejotope, claiming they failed to protect him from an unprovoked. Attack by another enemy, the attacker, Santino Casio, who's doing life for second degree murder, stabbed lands 16 times in his back, torso, and head. Lenez ended up hospitalized with a collapsed lung and serious injuries that put his life at risk. Lenez has been serving a 10-year sentence since his 2022 conviction for shooting Meghan the Stallion in the foot during a 2020 confrontation. His appeal got denied by a three-judge panel last November, locking in that time. The suit blasted prison for pairing him with Casio, despite knowing the danger, especially

with Lenez's celebrity status making him a target. Guards were slow to react, skipping tools like flash grenades to stop the assault, and Casio faced no charges. Lenez got moved to California men's colony in San Luis Obispo County, but never got back his possessions, including songbooks full of unreleased lyrics. Prison safety for high-profile inmates like this is under the microscope now, and this lawsuit could shake things up inside those walls.
