Casanova and Tory Lanez don't have much of a musical history together. They only collaborated on the 2019 single "2am," but their careers have followed similar tragic patterns. The rapper and singer have been sentenced to over a decade in prison. Casanova for racketeering and narcotics charges, Tory Lanez for first degree assault with a firearm. Casanova recently shed light on his situation via social media, and he revealed that there is actually another link between him and Lanez.
Apparently, Tory Lanez helped Casanova out financially during his federal case. The latter claimed that Lanez gave him a sizable chunk of money during his trial, since he was unable to go out and make any money of his own. He did this despite being in the midst of a trial himself. "@ToryLanez you one of the realest n**gas I ever met," Casanova wrote on his IG Story. "How you in jail looking out for a n**ga in jail." Casanova then claimed that Lanez set up him up financially for a year without asking for a lot in return.
Casanova Dubbed Tory Lanez The "Realest" Artist He Knew
"Sent me enough money to last me for a whole year lol," the rapper added. "I love ya heart, I love ya soul. Free us til you see us!" This appreciation was a far cry from the interaction that Casanova and Lanez had back in 2022. The former rolled up on the latter at a club in New Jersey and approached him, announcing that Lanez was "outside." The Toronto singer looked spooked until he realized it was Casanova making these claims. There was also some speculation that there may be drama between Casanova and Lanez due to the fact that Casanova is signed to Roc Nation. This is the same record label that Lanez's victim, Megan Thee Stallion, is on.
Casanova and Tory Lanez are going to be behind bars for a long time. Casanova was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in prison, while Lanez was sentenced to 10 years. Lanez has tried to stay active by starting the Prison Tapes series, but it was cut short when his recording material was confiscated. He later blamed the confiscation on the fact that he was "helping" other inmates. "They figured out what I was really doing with the Prison Tapes," he said on IG. "And how many inmates were being helped in a life-changing way because of them." Casanova can seemingly attest to Lanez's ability to help inmates.
