The Cuban singer Dianelys Alfonso Cartaya, known artistically as La Diosa, remains the center of attention on social media due to the criticism she has received regarding her pronunciation and command of English, especially after the release of the song “Always remember us this way”.
In recent days, the artist has been the subject of mockery and negative comments before and after the release of her latest musical piece, which is performed alongside her daughter Reychel.
In light of the intense debate surrounding how she expresses herself in English, La Diosa decided to turn to her Instagram to generally address some of the malicious comments.
"None of those who criticized me come close to my level; they're all just trifles. I can't be ashamed of wanting to grow. We'll see each other soon with another one in English. Before speaking ill of me, analyze yourself first. Manage that envy; there's no cure for that pain. To criticize me, you need to surpass me, and achievement by achievement, be better than me," he wrote.
Her statement was applauded by many of her fans, who have supported and defended her efforts to expand her art beyond the Spanish-speaking audience.
A recent controversy on the same topic involved La Diosa and the Cuban broadcaster and panelist of the podcast Destino Tolk on YouTube, Frank Abel Gómez. He harshly criticized her for her performance in English, pointing out that the singer "has too much backing track for such a mess."
After watching the music video on the popular show of Dominican YouTuber Frank Abel, he couldn't contain his laughter and stated, "I'm going to stick to the theory I've held from the beginning. In my personal opinion, this is all a big lie from La Diosa, because it's impossible for the song to be chromed, out of tune, off-pitch, poorly equalized... In the song, her daughter shines and she doesn't," he said.
Additionally, he stated that the artist is capable of delivering a better performance because “she has plenty of tracks from NG La Banda, a lot of tracks as a solo lead to record such a mix.” “Please, that makes no sense,” he emphasized.
The Goddess has emphasized that her foray into English-speaking music is a personal challenge and a strategy to expand her international audience.
