The Cuban reggaeton artist Ovidio Crespo, better known as Ovi, appeared this Wednesday in the Miami-Dade criminal court after being arrested the day before in Miami for possession of controlled substances, verbal assault with a firearm, and the public display of a firearm.

Ovi appeared before Judge Mindy Glazer, who imposed a $6,500 bail and a restraining order against the Venezuelan model Giussepe Benignini, whom he pointed a gun at while driving in Miami.

During the hearing, the Cuban shook his head at the accusations related to the threat with a firearm and was very receptive to the judge's warning, who emphasized that the next time he is arrested, he will have to await trial in prison.

The singer was arrested on Tuesday, September 17, in Miami after Giussepe Benignini reported him for pointing a gun at him while driving in Miami.

"I'm driving, and I see a car, a McLaren, coming in front of me. I honk because it almost hits me, and when I honk, it stops and pulls out a gun. [...] I thought he was going to shoot me," the young man recounted.

A video of the arrest of the Cuban reggaeton artist is circulating on social media.

This fact adds to other similar incidents involving the Cuban singer in recent years in the United States, where he has been arrested several times.

In 2021, he had a confrontation with another singer and also displayed a weapon in public.
