The Cuban reggaeton artist Jorge Junior has been in Miami for several weeks. His stay in the United States has not gone as he expected in some ways, particularly when it comes to meeting with friends he has in South Florida.
On his Facebook profile, the singer expressed his disappointment towards many friends living in the United States, from whom he hasn't received a single message checking in on him. Clearly hurt by these individuals, he delivered a strong message directed at them.
"I marvel at how people can change overnight, believing that just because they have a mere four pesos or because life has placed them in a better situation, they think they are God. I tell those people, whom I once considered close friends, that every time they came and sat down to talk with my mom about anything, and every time they had a problem, they knew they could count on me without any expectations," he began saying in the post he shared on Facebook.
"I thought that when I arrived in this country, at the very least they would have the decency to ask me how I was doing. Just receiving a text message would have made me happy, because believe me, I know that people come here to work, not to waste time. Many have hidden away, as if they think I would ask them for something or that they should invite me to dinner, knowing me well and understanding that I'm not the type to ask for things, but rather to offer. I have a standard of living that I don't envy anyone," he added, before calling them fake and labeling them as hypocrites for the way they have acted towards him.
"Remember, this is a country of ups and downs, and things don’t always go well," he asserted.
"From today on, don't even bother to greet me because you no longer exist to me. This was a fragile friendship that shattered and there's no turning back. Good luck in your lives," he concluded at the end of the message.
Many Cubans have identified with Jorge Junior's words, having experienced firsthand how people they considered friends turned their backs on them upon arriving in the United States. Additionally, his supporters encouraged him to stay on his path and focus on his own endeavors.
