SYDNEY, Australia (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — Former Australian X-Factor contestant and up-and-coming rapper Lazy J is recovering after being stabbed in the heart following a performance at a Sydney nightclub

According to The Australian Lazy J, also known as Jelal Edmonds and his partner Big Guy, AKA Panapa Iafeta, had just finished a performance as part of a pre-launch party for their new single 'Ecstasy' at Club Eleven when the incident occurred. According to reports, a patron that had previously been ejected from the VIP area of the club confronted the pair of performers outside of the club and stabbed Edmonds in his heart.

Edmonds was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition but is on the road to recovery. Two men have been charged in connection with the attack.
