Cuban reggaeton artist Yosvanis A. Sierra Hernández, known to fans as Chocolate MC, was released over the weekend and took to a live stream to express his happiness and vulnerability. His release has surprised many, given the multiple charges against him and an existing deportation order. Last week, Chocolate confirmed he had posted bail and announced his imminent return to the streets. He had been arrested on April 27 in Miami.
Upon his release this Sunday, Chocolate shared photos on social media, showing him dining at a Brickell restaurant. During a live stream, visibly affected by negative comments from a hater, he tearfully stated that no one truly understands his emotional pain, yet he remains determined to turn his life around positively.
"I'm crying tears of joy because people were talking bad, saying I was deported or somewhere unknown... I have to cry because I come out with energy, wanting to listen to and make music, and then haters appear in my live stream... I must cry because despite everything, I am blessed," he said emotionally.
The King of Reparto revealed that he often feels very lonely in Miami and has even contemplated suicide. He was deterred by a recent conversation with a friend's mother, whose supportive words helped restore his faith amid the challenges he faces.
As of now, it's unclear why the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has not proceeded with his deportation. It's noteworthy that Cuba has denied his return, complicating his life in the United States. Chocolate's legal status remains uncertain, and his release has sparked significant reactions on social media and within the Cuban community both on and off the island.
