OPA-LOCKA, Fla. – Newly released video shows the moments Cuban reggaeton artist Chocolate MC allegedly kidnapped a fan who simply asked for a photo.
It happened back in June outside an Opa-locka supermarket.
Surveillance video shows the rapper, who was wearing all white, walking toward the fan, who asked for a handshake and a photo, both of which were declined.
After a few words were exchanged, police said the rapper, whose real name is Yosvanis Sierra Hernandez, pointed a gun at the chest of the fan, according to detectives, before hopping behind the wheel of the victim’s car.
What happened next was enough to land the Cuban-born rapper in jail on armed robbery and kidnapping with a weapon charges.
The crime happened in broad daylight outside of the Chavez Supermarket, located along the 100 block of Opa-locka Boulevard.
Detectives say Hernandez first forced the victim to surrender his car before allegedly making more demands at gunpoint.
According to investigators, Hernandez ordered the fan into the driver’s seat of his own car while the rapper sat in the passenger seat.
Police said Hernandez demanded cash from the victim and forced him to drive around the county for roughly two hours before allowing the innocent man to leave unharmed.
Hernandez has a violent history that has landed him in jail before.
He’s also been accused of advertising a bounty on social media to catch the killer of fellow rapper El Taiger.
