Casanova probably should have thought twice before doing it from the Westchester County Jail.
According to Journal News/lohud.com, the Brooklyn rapper, who is currently incarcerated on racketeering charges, has been hit with internal departmental charges after a woman recorded him accepting the challenge during a video visitation.
The Westchester County Department of Correction prohibits the taking of videos and pictures during a video visitation. The video and pictures taken of Casanova at the jail were posted to his Instagram page.
Westchester Correction Commissioner
Joseph Spano says his department has revoked Casanova and the woman’s video visitation privileges as well as slapped another charge on the rapper for not wearing a mask.
Casanova, who is currently in jail and being charged with numerous gang-related racketeering crimes, is facing more discipline after a video surfaced of the maskless Brooklyn, N.Y. rapper doing the Junebug Challenge during a recent video jail visit.
On Feb. 3, Cas girlfriend, known as Swaggy Jazzy on Instagram, posted an Instagram video of the rapper doing the popular dance challenge, which finds participants doing moves in random locations to the tune of SpotemGottem s song Beat Box 2. Casanova did the challenge during a video jail visit at the Westchester County Department of Correction in Valhalla, N.Y. I m teaching my bae how to do the #jungebugchallenge, she captioned the clip, adding crying laughing emojis. Y all don t want no smoke my baby still got it.
I m happy to say we don t have a lot of issues with video visits because inmates know it s a privilege, not a right, Spano said.
Casanova is in federal custody as part of an racketeering case against 18 alleged members of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang and is being held in Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, N.Y.
The gang is charged with a litany of crimes, including the killing in September of a 15-year-old in Poughkeepsie and defrauding programs meant for people suffering economic hardship because of the pandemic.
Casanova, currently signed to Roc Nation, was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and firearms possession. He is not charged with killing the child.
