The influencer and entrepreneur Sandro Castro surprised many Cubans this past Sunday by sharing a heartfelt message in support of the reggaeton artist Yosvanis Sierra Hernández, known in the music world as Chocolate MC.
His words came after the musician was found guilty in a Miami court for “issuing direct threats” against Damián Valdez Galloso, the alleged murderer of El Taiger.
In a video shared on his Instagram profile, Sandro directly addressed the King of Reparto with words of encouragement.
“Yosvanis, you don’t deserve what happened to you. We will always remember you. You were a giant in music, the creator of Reparto. Please, don't stop composing no matter where you are, and keep bringing the energy,” he expressed, touching his heart.
The guilty verdict for Chocolate was reached last week after less than an hour of deliberation by the Miami court. The proceedings have now moved to the sentencing phase under Judge Milton Hirsch, who warned that the penalties could potentially include life imprisonment.
This case has sparked significant attention in the Cuban community both in Miami and Havana. Sandro Castro's message is seen as a display of solidarity with one of Cuba's most controversial reggaeton figures.
