Prisoner's Claim Shakes Tory Lanez Stabbing Case

Rapper Tory Lanez Stabbing: Prisoner Claims Self-Defense in Controversial Interview On May 27, 2025, a video surfaced online detailing a prison phone interview with Santino Casio, the man convicted of stabbing rapper Tory Lanez. The incident occurred in the United States, the exact location remaining unspecified. Casio, already serving a life sentence for a prior offense, claims he stabbed Lanez in self-defense. According to the interview, Casio heard rumors that Lanez had put a bounty on his head. He stated, "I heard a rumor going around that Tory Lanez put a bounty on his head." Shortly after hearing this rumor, Casio encountered Lanez and, seeing a suspicious bulge in his pocket, feared for his life. This led to the altercation resulting in Lanez's stabbing. Casio claims he had no intention of killing Lanez. The video raises concerns about the circumstances surrounding Casio's prison privileges, given his life sentence and the severity of the new charges. The interview's credibility is questionable, given the potential for misinformation within the prison system. The incident highlights the complexities of prison life and the need for further investigation into the claims made by Casio. The case remains under investigation.
