Puerto Rican reggaeton sensation Jhayco, known for hits like "Dákiti" with Bad Bunny, has found himself in legal trouble after being arrested in Florida for alleged cocaine possession.
The Arrest Details
According to reports, the 30-year-old artist, whose real name is Jesús Manuel Nieves Cortés, was taken into custody in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Law enforcement officials claim they discovered a small quantity of cocaine during a routine traffic stop.
Growing Trend of Latin Artists Facing Legal Issues
This incident follows a worrying pattern of Latin music stars encountering problems with the law. Just last month, another prominent reggaeton artist faced similar charges, raising questions about substance abuse in the industry.
Jhayco's representatives have yet to release an official statement regarding the arrest. Fans have taken to social media to express their shock and support for the artist.
Potential Career Impact
With several major collaborations and projects reportedly in the works, this arrest could have significant consequences for Jhayco's burgeoning international career. Industry experts suggest this might affect upcoming tour dates and brand partnerships.
The case is currently pending, with a court date expected to be set in the coming weeks. If convicted, Jhayco could face fines and possible jail time under Florida's strict drug laws.
