The crossfire between Yotuel Romero and Willy Toledo has taken an unexpected and, why not say it, hilarious turn after the singer shared a joke on his Instagram account.
The image, a kind of "Evening of the Year" poster, features Yotuel and Toledo facing off in a supposed boxing event, under the slogans "Homeland and Life" versus "Homeland or Death."
"Is this that I'm hearing everywhere a joke or real?" wrote Yotuel, tagging the creator of these boxing events, the Spanish influencer Ibai Llanos, in what seems to be another jab in this ongoing back-and-forth with the Spanish actor.
The post has generated a buzz among Yotuel's followers, who have wasted no time declaring the Cuban artist as the moral victor of this "fight."
A relentless grief
To understand the context of this joke, we need to go back a few weeks to the beginning of the confrontation.
It all began with the inflammatory statements of Willy Toledo, who described Yotuel as “the archetype of a person who would sell his child for three coins.”
The post from Toledo was published after the couple appeared on a program on Televisión Española to promote the documentary about "Patria y Vida," and it caused pain and outrage for Yotuel's partner, the Spanish singer Beatriz Luengo.
The dispute escalated when artists like Alejandro Sanz and Chanel Terrero came to Beatriz's defense, putting Toledo in an uncomfortable media position.
But rather than calming down, Toledo intensified his offensive, calling the couple "scum" and "provocateurs," in what seemed more like a monologue than a conversation.
Solidarity for Beatriz and Yotuel quickly poured in, with a flood of supportive messages from celebrities and fans that turned the confrontation into a trending topic on social media.
"Evening of the Year" and humor in controversy
Yotuel's post has sparked a wave of memes and comments that leave no stone unturned. The creativity of social media seems boundless, ranging from fictional "training" strategies to virtual bets on who would win the fight.
One of the followers commented: "Yotuel doesn't need gloves; he just sings 'Patria y Vida' and Toledo goes down in a technical knockout."
Another person added sarcastically, "Toledo, your corner is empty... No one wants to be your coach."
Even Beatriz Luengo, always elegant in her appearances, shared the image in her stories with a laughing emoji, making it clear that, despite the tensions, humor is also a form of resistance.
A definitive closure?
The Spanish actor, known for his frankness, has not yet responded to Yotuel's latest "right hook." However, this confrontation has shown that Toledo always has a trick up his sleeve, although it is rarely a good one.
What is certain is that this controversy has achieved what is seldom seen: it has united the artistic community and the public in a kind of collective catharsis against the absurd.
Meanwhile, Yotuel's followers are already asking for tickets to the supposed fight, and it wouldn't be surprising if this "Event of the Year" ends up being a documentary on Netflix or, who knows, a new song from "Patria y Vida." Because one thing is clear: in this "battle," humor is winning by knockout.
