The Cuban reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito has been at the center of one of the most amusing moments, which is already trending as a potential meme of the season. During his stay in Los Angeles, his wife, Rachel Arderi, recorded the moment when the singer was trying to order food over the phone from room service. A seemingly simple task, if it weren’t for a small obstacle: the hotel staff did not speak Spanish and his English is still a work in progress.
What follows is a true communication challenge, where Bebeshito mixes Spanish with improvised English, resulting in a phrase that has already gone viral: "What time would be missing?"
"Are they outside? Ah, no Spanish. Food. Eat. Time. But how do you say food in English...? Time. Time. Food. Service room. Yes. Time. They haven't arrived. It's time. What time would they be missing?", says Bebeshito on the phone, remaining patient while speaking with the staff, as his wife records and laughs non-stop in the background.
The video quickly turned into a viral sensation, garnering thousands of reactions and comments from followers, who have made his phrase a phenomenon on social media: "How many times did he repeat ‘time’?"; "He just wanted to eat, poor thing"; "Classes start on Thursday with the teacher"; "Give him some ‘time’, he has only been in the USA for five months."; "Hunger is tough, but English is tougher"; "He should release a song with ‘time’, it’s already gone viral."
This fun episode took place in a hotel in Los Angeles, where Bebeshito was staying after his participation in Calibash 2025, one of the most important Latin music festivals in the United States.
The reggaeton artist had the opportunity to take the stage at the Crypto.com Arena, sharing the spotlight with prominent figures such as Wisin, Myke Towers, Eladio Carrión, and Alex Sensation. His performance not only provided him with greater international visibility but also made it clear that his music is crossing borders.
"Little by little we are reaching other audiences," commented Bebeshito in an interview with La Familia Cubana, highlighting the significance of this achievement in his career.
The 2025 edition of Calibash, originally scheduled for January 18, had to be rescheduled to March 7 due to wildfires in California. As a gesture of solidarity, the organizers decided to allocate part of the event's proceeds to the affected communities.
Now, after his participation in this prestigious festival, Bebeshito is trending again, but this time not for his music, rather for his unique way of tackling English. With his natural charisma, he has managed to turn a simple food order into an iconic moment on social media.
And you, "What time would it be missing?" to watch the video and join in the laughter.
