The Cuban reggaeton artist Chocolate MC assured that this Saturday he paid his bail and will soon be back on the streets, after being arrested on April 27 in Miami.
In a phone call from prison, shared on Instagram by the influencer Un Martí To Durako, Chocolate confidently stated: “I already paid the bail right now, I'm heading for the shootout”.
“Who has more power, you or my lord? Who has more power, you or my lawyer?”, one can hear them say amid laughter and mockery.
After being arrested following several days as a fugitive, Chocolate faced multiple charges, including robbery in a hotel room, possession of controlled substances (crack), criminal damage, as well as written threats of murder and bodily harm, illegal use of a communication device, among others, and his bail was set at over 7,000 dollars.
Despite the fact that some charges are quite serious, many are left wondering how his lawyer Adolfo Gil managed to get him out in record time. As a result, reactions from many internet users on social media are divided between disbelief at his quick release and praise for the lawyer who always helps him out of these situations.
“El señor is undoubtedly the best, but your lawyer is the second best, and I won’t argue about it”; “El abogado del Choco is officially the lawyer of the year”; “I need the lawyer's number”; “Naty is coming back with us for another new season, and she’s coming back stronger”; “My respects to that lawyer”; “It’s crazy, man a ton of people are working hard and doing everything right to get ahead in this country, without harming a single fly for fear of being deported, and this guy is doing everything and doesn’t even spend a month in jail, life is crazy, man, what injustice”; “Where did that lawyer graduate from?” some commented in the post.
With Chocolate's criminal record in the United States and even a deportation order against him from years ago, he has not been deported to Cuba, and this is because the Cuban regime has not accepted his repatriation.
Just a few days ago, Chocolate was worrying his fans from prison with words that many interpreted as a sign of an emotional crisis he was going through, but everything seems to indicate that he is fine and that this is just another one of his strategies to gain attention.
