Cuban rapper Chocolate MC sentenced to 10 years in prison after taking plea deal

Cuban rapper Chocolate MC was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison and five years of probation after accepting a plea deal.

The artist, born Josvany Sierra Hernandez, accepted the offer that combines the sentences in three separate cases: soliciting a murder-for-hire plot to kill an inmate charged in the murder of singer El Taiger, kidnapping a fan in Opa-locka, and burglarizing a hotel room.

The plea deal also includes a mental health and substance abuse evaluations, and Sierra Hernandez has been ordered to stay away from the victims.
