In a post filled with emotion and controversy, Chocolate wrote:
“We took down Oniel Bebeshito, with a meme and without spending a dollar like you, old pedophile cop. And call me envious, come in, check the charts, and buy tissues for the crying because now it’s time to cry more than I do. (Thank you, little god, thank you, Elvis, thank you, uncle, thank you, grandma, thank you, Orula, thank you, Elegua, thank you, Oloffi for never leaving me looking ridiculous)”.
In a second post, the reggaeton artist shared a video where he is visibly emotional, crying while speaking about his success:
"Mom, I’m number one in Havana and in Miami once again, and with a meme. I cried because, with all the talk about how I was finished, that my time had passed, I almost gave up. And look at this now, once again proving that you can’t listen to anyone, believe in yourself."
