Rapper Chocolate MC KIDNAPS fan at gunpoint after he innocently asked for a photo
By JAMES CIRRONE
Florida-based rapper Chocolate MC faces several charges over allegedly holding a fan at gunpoint after being asked for a photo.
Chocolate MC, whose real name is Yosvanis Sierra-Hernandez, was taken into custody Wednesday after the alleged victim reported a robbery and a kidnapping to police in Opa-locka, an area north of downtown Miami.
The fan entered the parking lot of Chavez Supermarket and when he noticed Sierra-Hernandez, he asked the rapper if he'd take a selfie with him, according to an arrest report obtained by NBC Miami.

Sierra-Hernandez, 34, then approached the fan, jammed a firearm into his chest and ordered him to give up his car, the report said.
The Latin music artist then allegedly told the victim to get into the driver's side of the car while he got into the passenger's side.
Once in the car, Sierra-Hernandez told the fan to give him cash, which he said he didn't have on him, according to the report.
A subsequent attempt to rob the victim by getting his Zelle details also failed because the victim didn't have the well-known payment app, police said.
Sierra-Hernandez is said to have forced the victim to drive him around to several locations for about two hours. Police said he let the man go in an area near 270 SW 11th Avenue.

He has been charged with kidnapping with a firearm and armed robbery in relation to the fan he allegedly carjacked.
This isn't the first time the rapper, who has 43,000 followers on Instagram, has been in trouble with the law.
Just last week, he was arrested for allegedly offering thousands of dollars for someone to kill an inmate charged with the 2024 murder of singer El Taiger in Miami.
Sierra-Hernandez declined to show up for a bond hearing at 9am on Wednesday. The hearing was related to murder-for-hire plot he was allegedly a part of and previous burglary charges
Sierra-Hernandez declined to show up for a bond hearing at 9am on Wednesday. The hearing was related to the alleged murder-for-hire plot and previous burglary charges.
Since he didn't make an appearance the judge denied him bond on those charges. He is now scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday.
Sierra-Hernandez just recently gave an interview with Telemundo 51, a Spanish TV station in Miami, where he said he wanted to fix his life so the police would leave him alone.
In 2024 alone, he was arrested for sexual battery, armed kidnapping, battery and grand theft charges, records show.
