Tory Lanez has been incarcerated since he was moved into state prison to start serving his 10‑year sentence in September 2023, so he has been locked up for a little over two years as of early 2026.

Quick timeline

  • He was sentenced to 10 years in prison on August 8, 2023, for the 2020 shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.
  • Shortly after sentencing, he was transferred to North Kern State Prison in California to begin serving that sentence, effectively marking the start of his time “locked up” in state prison around September 2023.
  • As of January 2026, that puts him at a bit more than two years into his 10‑year term, not counting any prior time he spent in jail before transfer.

Latest news and current status

  • He received a 10‑year sentence and is expected to serve the full term after an appellate panel later upheld his convictions and sentence.
  • In May 2025, he was stabbed multiple times in a California prison facility and then transferred to another prison for safety reasons, but he remained in custody.

Forum and trending discussion

  • Online forums and gossip spaces still debate whether he might get out earlier, but official reporting indicates his appeals have failed and that he remains set to serve the full 10 years.
  • Discussions often mix legal facts with speculation, so for how long has Tory Lanez been locked up , the clearest answer tracks from his prison intake in late 2023 to now, which is just over two years.

TL;DR: Tory Lanez has been locked up in state prison for a little over two years, starting from his transfer to prison after his August 2023 sentencing.
