A U.S. rapper visiting Cuba is being blamed for creating chaos in a central Havana street when he allegedly started throwing what seemed like dollar bills to a crowd.
Images of the incident caught on video were embarrassing to the government and could have triggered an hourslong internet disruption, Cuban independent media reported this week.
Fans of Tekashi 6ix9ine, the stage name of Daniel Hernandez, had spontaneously gathered outside the Grand Packard Iberostar hotel in Old Havana in the iconic Paseo del Prado on Thursday after news of his stay became public on his social media accounts.
