On social media, the artist not only excitedly celebrated his achievement but also lashed out at the Italian businessman and producer Roberto Ferrante, owner of the record label Planet Record, which represents his colleague Bebeshito.
In a post filled with emotion and controversy, Chocolate wrote:
“We took down Oniel Bebeshito, with just a meme and without paying a dollar like you, old pedophile cop. And tell me, envious ones, come in, check the charts, and buy some towels for the tears 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 letting me be embarrassed)”.
In a second post, the reggaeton artist shared a video where he is visibly emotional, crying as he talks about his success
“Mom, I’m number one in Havana and Miami once again, and with a meme. I cried because, with everyone saying I was done, 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.”
