Rapper Casanova in trouble in New York jail for participating in a TikTok challenge

Rapper Casanova, whose legal name is Caswell Senior, was slapped with internal accusations after a woman taped him accepting the viral TikTok #junebugchallenge during a video visit, The Journal News / lohud.com reported .

The whole point of the #junebugchallenge is to dance in the strangest places you can think of, but a New York prison might not have been the best choice as an inmate.

In the short clip posted to Casanova’s Instagram page, the rapper can be seen dancing in a prison cell. Photos were also posted on the Instagram page.

Video recording and photo taking during a video tour is prohibited by the Westchester County Corrections Department.

The Westchester County Corrections Department revoked Casanova and the woman’s video viewing privileges, Westchester Corrections Commissioner Joseph Spano said. Casanova faces another internal charge for not wearing a mask.

“I’m happy to say that we don’t have a lot of issues with video tours because inmates know it’s a privilege, not a right,” Spano said.

Casanova is being held by the federal government in a racketeering case against 18 suspected members of the “Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation” gang and is being held at Westchester County Jail in Valhalla, NY

The gang is accused of a litany of crimes, including the September murder of a 15-year-old in Poughkeepsie and the fraud of programs for people suffering economic hardship due to the pandemic.
