Posted by Casanova is maintaining his innocence in the case against alleged members of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang, despite being charged with attempted murder.
The Brooklyn rapper — who turned himself into authorities in December 2020 — shared a message via his Instagram Stories on Sunday (January 2), suggesting there’s evidence to prove him innocent if “higher ups” looked further into his case.
“IF ONE OF THE HIGHER UPS REALLY MADE SOMEONE LOOK INTO MY CASE I WOULD BE HOME RIGHT NOW,” he wrote.

Casanova was charged with attempted murder, assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering and other new assault/weapons charges in November, in addition to previous racketeering conspiracy and narcotics conspiracy charges already against him.
The month before, Casanova claimed the charges were false and he was being “crucified” in court due to his criminal history.
“This is a public service announcement to all my fans and very important friends,” he wrote on Instagram in October. “I’ve been incarcerated for almost one year now, exhausted all remedies and spent a significant amount of money on legal fees to prove my innocence. The charges against me are false,they don’t represent or reflect the person that I am. They are simply using my past criminal history to crucify me in court.”

He continued, “I’m calling on all the great people with meaningful and powerful voices to help me with this matter. Any help provided will be a blessing, because I feel defeated one’s past shouldn’t be the reason why you can’t be afforded a successful future. No one should be held accountable for the crimes they have already served their time for, in legal terms that’s considered double jeopardy.”
Casanova is currently behind bars at Westchester County Jail in New York.
