The controversy surrounding the return of Cuban reggaeton artist El Micha to Cuba continues to escalate following the artist's recent statements on the SePoneWeno podcast, where he claimed he is returning to his country to receive “affection” and to avoid “the blows” that, according to him, he has received in Miami.
"I am going to Cuba where the people offer you affection; it is your home. I will not stay in a place where I am beaten, beaten, beaten. I am an artist and I owe myself to the people of Cuba. I want to die as an artist," expressed El Micha, generating strong reactions on social media. However, what has caused the most impact was his phrase: "Whoever wants to see their mother die from afar, their uncles, their true family, let them see them die from afar."
In response to these words, Ana María Daniel, the mother of the singer's two children and his ex-partner, publicly reacted on Instagram with a direct and indignant reply: “So your children are not your family then”, she wrote alongside a video of the moment when El Micha made those statements.
The post by Ana María sparked a wave of support for her and her children. Hundreds of followers inundated the comments to defend the mother, harshly criticizing the reggaeton artist for neglecting his children and what many interpreted as an act of family abandonment.
"Ana, you have all the blessings in the world, which are your children, and you are a warrior. So keep moving forward," wrote one user. "You gave up too quickly. Here, to grow up to be a doctor, I have carried boxes. You let your children down," commented another.
The messages also recalled the effort that, according to reports, El Micha made to bring his family to the United States, where he even bought a house to settle down. Many do not understand how, after such a sacrifice, he chose to return to live in Cuba, leaving behind his underage children.
"An artist who prefers to sing in Cuba for the communists and leave his children and wife alone," wrote a visibly disappointed user.
From messages of outrage to advice on resilience for Ana María, the conversation on social media highlights a widespread rejection of El Micha's statements, especially for omitting children from his concept of “true family.”
At the time of closing this note, the artist has not directly responded to the reaction of their ex-partner or to the public's criticism, but the controversy has left a mark on their public image, particularly among the Cuban community in exile.
