A few years ago Casanova burst onto the scene with the hardcore street banger “Don’t Run” and while it helped him land a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation the Brooklynite’s buzz has tempered. Enter Tekashi 6ix9ine.

For the past few weeks, the Cas and 6ix9ine have been the topic of discussion due to Casanova’s cut “Set Trippin” which many felt was a diss record towards the young Mexican rapper who also hails from Brooklyn.

Casanova stopped by Ebro in The Morning for a quick powwow in which he addressed the situation with Tekashi 6ix9ine, why he’s not reacting harshly to the drama, and how he influenced the dress code for Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Brunch.

Here are the 6 things we learned from Casanova on Ebro in The Morning.

1. “Set Trippin”

Talking about that diss record that people say is about Tekashi 6ix9ine, Casanova simply says “If the shoe fits – wear it. It goes to anybody that feels like they ain’t who they say they are… Some people think it’s for him. I guess they feel he’s not who he say he is.” He does add “I never told him personally it was for him. I think he took that upon himself to go unto my page and say “who is this for” and everyone ran with it.” Ultimately Cas says they never met personally don’t have a history of anything.

2. Not The One

Should things get out of hand Cas says “I’m not gonna let nobody trick me [into getting locked up],” before adding “If he wanna be the king of New York and he wanna be this, he can have that. I want him to have that. I had that too and I did the time… It costs to be the boss. I paid with my freedom. What is he willing to pay? It costs to be gangsta.”

3. No Drama

As far as continuing any static with 6ix9ine, Cas says he blocked him and his following from his page because he’s not studying the kid.

4. Lone Wolf?

Even though he rolls around NYC on the regular, Cas admits he doesn’t keep wolves with him because he doesn’t wanna get caught up in drama. Not sure we believe that but hey, to each his own.

5. The Silver Lining

Regardless of the drama he and 6ix9ine are going through he does feel the fact that the kid is bringing attention to New York is “making New York look dope again” and credits 6ix for getting him on his “tippy toes.”

6. Roc Nation

Having built with Jay-Z and his “Illuminati” crew, Cas says he’s gotten a lot of good advice from them but won’t say what it was because he doesn’t want to get anyone in trouble. He does admit that for this years Roc Nation Brunch, the invite specifically stated “No Sweat Suits.” Something that Cas wore to last year’s gathering.
