Casanova has shouted out Tory Lanez for looking out for him financially while he’s locked up.
The Brooklyn rapper has been behind bars since 2020 after being indicted as part of an investigation into the gang Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation.

Last year, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison on racketeering and drug charges but continues to fight for his freedom.
In a message from jail posted on his Instagram, Casanova credited Tory Lanez for holding him down financially while he is incarcerated.

He wrote: “@torylanez you one of the realest n-ggas I ever met. How you in jail looking out for a n-gga in jail? Sent me enough money to last me for a whole year lol. I love ya heart, I love ya soul. Free us til you see us!”

Tory Lanez has also purportedly been helping other inmates at the California Correctional Institution, where he’s serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
After his recording equipment was confiscated during a raid of his cell block last week, putting an end to his series of Prison Tapes releases, the Alone at Prom rapper blamed the move on him helping to fund his fellow inmates’ fight for freedom.

In an Instagram message, he wrote: “The rumors are true. The Prison Tapes will be discontinued until further notice. However, I think it’s important that my fans know the truth about the crooked ass shit that’s really going on here.
“My cell was not raided and trashed because I learned how to record myself in prison or because I created The Prison Tapes. I was shut down because the ‘HIGHER UPS’ figured out what I was really doing with The Prison Tapes, and how many inmates were being helped in a life-changing way because of them.
He added: “Since the first day I was incarcerated, all I’ve seen is blacks and other minorities receive the most cruel, illegal, and unfair punishment/treatment. For so many nights, I asked God to reveal his purpose in making me go through the ills of the prison system.
“I was later shown that purpose. I was placed in jail to suffer, to feel, and to witness firsthand the pain and oppression being inflicted upon the young black and brown men and women of my generation. I knew I had to change this injustice.”

Lanez continued: “So, I made a plan that when I got to prison, I would figure out a way to record music and put all the proceeds towards the legal representation of my fellow inmates, giving them a once in a lifetime chance to go home to their families on appeal and resentencing.
“Although the ‘HIGHER UPS’ have stopped The Prison Tapes temporarily, they were too late to stop my overall plan. Since the month of July, I’ve afforded legal representation for 472 inmates and actively reopened 476 cases.”
