Last year, Casanova pleaded guilty to RICO and narcotics offenses in federal court.
As part of his plea, the rapper and Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang member admitted to participating in a poker game shooting in Florida in 2020, a robbery in New York City in 2018, and to trafficking over 100 kilograms of weed.
He will face between 15 and 60 years when sentenced on June 27.
In a letter to his sentencing judge, Casa renounced gang life.
“I am telling you and anyone that will listen that I wanted out before I was arrested and I am out. I learned through my music career that people will listen and that I don’t need to associate myself with a gang to succeed. I don’t need to associate with a gang even if I don’t succeed.
“I thought I needed to stay in the life in name because it was a way to promote my career. I don’t care what the government tells you. I am telling you the truth. I was not involved in the daily activities of this gang. I wasn’t anyone’s boss. What I was and I regret this was a person that they could use to promote themselves in a world I swear to you I was trying to leave. I clearly did not do a good enough job of this as I did find myself in one bad situation after another."
