The Cuban reggaeton artist Yosvani Sierra, known as Chocolate MC, has once again become a topic of conversation on social media after a message was sent from prison, where he is currently detained.
The audio was shared on Instagram by the anonymous profile "Un Martí To Durako" and generated a flood of comments questioning his economic and legal situation.
In the message, recorded in what appears to be the concert hall where he was scheduled to perform, Chocolate apologizes to his fans:
“I'm so sorry to all of you, my people, but the bail has been paid and I'll be out on the street shortly. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll be out, and we are going to postpone the concert that was supposed to be today to the 17th. God didn't want it to happen today and for things to turn out this way,” said the reggaeton artist.
However, the controversy soon ignited. According to “Un Martí To Durako,” Chocolate was unable to be released because the bail was raised to $8,000, an amount he apparently could not cover in time.
This sparked immediate reactions from users, who recalled that not long ago, the singer boasted about having earned 1.8 million dollars, as reported by CiberCuba in December 2024.
The comments on the post were immediate, with many users questioning where the money that Chocolate claimed to have won is: “Where is the 1.8 million he said he won?”, “He talked so much about money and can’t even pay the bail” or “Once again, the king of distribution is making headlines.”
Chocolate was arrested in January 2025, accused of domestic violence in Miami, as reported by CiberCuba. Since then, his case has been surrounded by controversies.
The concert, originally scheduled for this week, has been postponed to January 17th, according to the artist himself. In the meantime, his supporters and critics remain attentive to his legal and financial situation, which appears to be far from being resolved.
