The Cuban reggaeton artist Candyman shared his thoughts on the possibility of his colleague Chocolate MC being deported from the United States following his most recent arrest, which took place last weekend in the state of Florida.
During an interview with content creator Maderale, Candyman was directly asked if he believed that Chocolate could face deportation due to his repeated legal issues in the U.S. His response was emphatic and had a spiritual focus:
"I am not the law of the USA. Chocolate, your religious sign says: I am the Obbó. And he is fulfilling his sign. Here, no one has the same luck. We all came to fulfill a mission here. If it's your turn, it's for your soul to mature."
With these words, Candyman avoided making a legal or moral judgment about Chocolate's judicial situation, but hinted at a personal perspective rooted in destiny and Afro-Cuban spirituality.
Candyman's reaction comes just days after Chocolate MC, whose real name is Yosvanis Sierra Hernández, was arrested by Miami-Dade authorities last Saturday.
According to court documents, he faces charges related to disturbing the peace and resisting arrest without violence.
In a statement released from prison and addressed to his followers, the controversial reggaeton artist described himself as a victim of a misunderstanding and defended his stance by saying, “Jefecita, I am a criminal,” in an apparent mix of irony and reaffirmation of his "bad boy" image in the urban genre.

Chocolate MC has been arrested multiple times since he emigrated to the United States. Although he has managed to avoid deportation so far, his criminal record could play a role in future immigration decisions.
Meanwhile, figures from the Cuban reggaeton scene like Candyman prefer to leave their fate in the hands of spirituality and the U.S. legal system.
