Yulien Oviedo once again found himself at the center of controversy after reacting strongly to the 10-year prison sentence imposed on Yosvany Arismín Sierra Hernández, artistically known as Chocolate MC.
First, the Instagram page Chisme con Flow highlighted a comment on social media from Oviedo mocking Chocolate's fate.
Far from moderating his tone, the artist loaded in his Instagram stories against those who criticized him for mocking the legal situation of his colleague and, especially, against those who have expressed support for the so-called "King of Reparto".
“I don't care what they say or what they do. In the end, they mocked me and nobody said anything at all,” Oviedo wrote in an initial post.
"I raised my voice for everyone at a certain moment, and all they did was mock me as well. Therefore, I don't believe in anyone, a bunch of hypocrites," he added.
The singer made it clear that his frustration is not directed at his closest followers, but at figures in the genre and entertainment pages that, according to him, did not support him during key moments of his career.
"From now on, I will charge for all favors, and this does not apply to my followers or my real friends. Those who know me understand that I am a man, and I fully commit in all moments, but I do not allow any disrespect, not even from my shadow," he warned.
In another message, he took a jab directly at digital media: “Those little pages that didn't support possibly one of the best productions with pride in the entire genre already have headlines for today. Happy Monday. May they rot!”
But the statement that sparked the most reactions was his open questioning of those who support Chocolate MC following his conviction.
“I feel shame on behalf of my community. How can they support someone who hit women and defamed over 80% of the entire gender?”, she wrote.
And he added thoughtfully: “Sometimes I wonder why we have become so empty and so mournful. It's like we are paying a lifetime of karma for how hypocritical we are.”
A sentence that reignited old rivalries
Chocolate MC was sentenced on Monday to 10 years in prison, followed by five years of probation, after pleading guilty in an agreement that allowed the closure of three criminal cases against him in Miami-Dade.
The sentence covers the case of a murder charge against Damián Valdez Galloso—identified as the alleged perpetrator in the death of the singer “El Taiger”—as well as other files related to the kidnapping of a fan and a robbery in a hotel room.
During the hearing, the artist remained calm. His sister, Isis Sierra, acknowledged that the family was not satisfied with the sentence, although she admitted it could have been worse: “We are not very happy with that, but well, it could have been more time. I think we are better off with this.”
He also said he has noticed changes in him: “Every time I talk to my brother, I notice he’s different; he’s no longer the same person he used to be.”
Background of a public conflict
The tensions between Yulien and Chocolate are nothing new. In mid-December 2025, when the legal proceedings were still ongoing and the reggaeton artist faced the possibility of a more severe sentence, Oviedo had already publicly mocked him.
On that occasion, he wrote: “That's so you learn not to make fun of anyone anymore.”
The history of public confrontations between the two has included exchanges of insults and provocations on social media, reflecting a rivalry that goes beyond music.
Divided reactions
Following the recent statements, users on social media questioned Oviedo's tone, accusing him of lacking empathy and being opportunistic.
Others, on the other hand, defended their right to express their opinion and recalled previous conflicts between the two representatives of the Cuban urban genre.
So far, Yulien has not confirmed whether his posts are part of a promotional strategy linked to his latest song, “Bandolera,” whose music video depicts him as a prisoner, an image that many have interpreted as a symbolic reference to Chocolate's situation.
The truth is that the sentence of the "King of Distribution" not only marks a turning point in his career but has also reignited old fractures within the Cuban urban genre, where personal rivalries, moral debates, and strategies for digital visibility seem to go hand in hand.
