Producer and manager Raphy Pina presented a preview of his new series “Who is Raphy Pina”, whose official premiere is set to be out on July 4th on YouTube.
Pina, who manages Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha, was sentenced in May to three years in prison. In the film, he shares his story in a self-commissioned docuseries that ends with him in jail.
In a preview released on June 24, he launched the trailer that starts with footage of FBI officers raiding one of Pina’s houses and then transitions to Pina at the courthouse.
The film shows footage of Pina and his family as he narrates his journey. “My family has been with me through the good times and the bad,” he says. “Do you know Raphy Pina? I will let you know who I am.” The trailer ends with Pina in a jail cell.
“On July 4, I will share with you a very special project that I have prepared. A personal relief because all these years I haven’t said anything, I’ve been working, taking in all the criticism. This series will be for all those who question who I am. You’ll know from my own words. From beginning to ‘my end,’ according to many,” he said.
The 43-year-old music executive and producer, who founded Pina Records in 1996, was sentenced on May 24, after he was convicted by a jury of one count of possession of an automatic weapon and another count of possession of firearms by a person convicted of a felony.
Pina was previously indicted in August 2020, accused of possessing two handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition despite the fact that he was barred from doing so because of his 2016 conviction on federal fraud and money laundering charges.
