After spending two and a half months in jail, Chocolate MC is now free. Through his girlfriend Hany Díaz's Instagram account, he sent a message to all his followers, denying the rumors that have been circulating online since July 26.
"Good morning to everyone, dear public, first of all, I want to thank the people who supported me today in court, all the fans who were present, my family, and my true friends. Today, once again, I had the chance to know who they are, thanks," reads a text in Hany's Instagram stories.
“As you already know, I am free now, but several people pretending to be my friends have been posting old videos and interviews. I haven't given interviews to anyone, I haven't visited anyone's house, nor have I called anyone except my family. Don't be fooled, as everything published today is for content. In due time, I will make my first statements in an official and very professional manner,” the reggaeton artist assured after his release from prison.
Chocolate asked his fans to stay tuned to his partner's, his godfather's, or his sister's social media accounts. He clarified that anything said outside of these profiles is false.
On Friday, videos of Chocolate's supposed release from jail began circulating online, but they are old images. According to Un Martí To Durako, the singer was released on bail and put under house arrest, but Chocolate has yet to make a statement about this.
Yosvanis Arismin Sierra Hernández, the reggaeton artist's real name, was arrested on May 10 on charges of "sexual assault without severe injuries, kidnapping, possession of firearms, aggravated assault, and robbery by sudden snatching."
At the beginning of June, the artist appeared in criminal court, presided over by Judge Mindy S. Glazer, and was indicted for threatening Cuban influencer and musician Diosnel Martell while Martell was in a relationship with Hany Díaz.
