"This must have been a Cuban": The viral reaction of a Cuban upon seeing a vandalized Mercedes in the U.S.

A viral TikTok video shows a vandalized Mercedes-Benz in the U.S., featuring graffiti that suggests a romantic conflict. The incident has sparked humor and debate on social media.


A Cuban went viral on TikTok after posting a video reacting to the state of a vandalized luxury car. The images show a white Mercedes-Benz covered with graffiti featuring words like "Infidel" and "I hate you", in addition to broken windows wrapped in plastic.

Impacted by the scene, the man expressed his disbelief while recording the vehicle: "Dude, my sister. This had to have been a Cuban. It has to be a Cuban. It can't be anyone else. They lost control. Look at this dude. Wow Pedro. What is this?”.

The images of the vehicle, shared by the user @javierhernande51465, have caused a stir on social media, as the graffiti suggests a possible emotional conflict behind the vandalism.

Among the most notable comments on TikTok are humorous reactions such as: “I've always said it, you don't mess with Cuban women. I'd rather go to war than get into a fight with a Cuban.”

Another user added a touch of humor to the controversy by saying: “The Cuban said: if the Mercedes isn’t for me, then it won’t be for anyone. No one is taking that car from me,” while someone who claims to have witnessed the incident commented: “That happened here in Naples, I saw it. She left the front of her house all painted.” However, not all comments were mocking. Some women rejected the generalization, stating: “I am Cuban and I would never do something like that. There are other, more subtle and intelligent ways to take revenge.”

Although the identity of the owner and the context of the vandalism remain unknown, the video has sparked a wide-ranging debate filled with humor and speculation about how the car ended up in that condition.
