Cuban reggaeton artist Yomil Hidalgo has reacted strongly on his social media after being denied a visa to travel to the United States for the third time. In a post shared on his Instagram account, the artist hinted that Alexander Otaola might be behind this denial due to political influences.
"Allegedly, it seems he asked his congressional buddies for a favor, and with just one phone call, the Americans get all riled up," Yomil stated, thus accusing Otaola of using political connections to thwart his entry into the country. Despite his frustration, the reggaeton artist made it clear that he will not give up, highlighting the efforts of his legal team and the company @musadeleyendas in the appeal process: "The lawyer who has been working super professionally and hard on this has already submitted the appeal."
In his message, Yomil also issued a direct challenge: "Now it's me who's eager to step in; it has happened before, and this time will be no exception. You all know that when I arrive, I finish things. God's timing is perfect."
The rivalry between Yomil and Alexander Otaola dates back to 2018 when the reggaeton artist slapped the host in a store in Miami. Since then, they have been involved in a series of public confrontations that show no signs of ending. This third visa denial once again disrupts the artist's plans, as he hoped to tour the United States to reconnect with his audience.
Despite this new setback, Yomil remains steadfast in his resolve to address the situation in person once he secures the visa. Will he succeed?
