The Cuban influencer known as La Cintumbare lashed out at those who criticize her following her return to Cuba after being deported from the United States, and made it clear that they are using her name to gain followers on social media.
Through a video shared on her Instagram stories, the content creator sent a strong message to her critics: “One question, was it not your desire, my detractors, to see me deported from the United States? That has already happened, it’s a reality now. I am in Cuba, my beloved country. And not just because I’m here now, I’ve always said, my wine is bitter, but it’s my wine.”
In her outburst, La Cintumbare expressed her annoyance with those who, she claims, only seek to talk about her to gain attention on social media: “You’ve achieved what you wanted, am I not in Cuba? Was I not deported? What happens now? Do you want me to be deported from Cuba as well? How absurd! Leave me alone, let me be, let me live my life. Isn't that what you wanted? Who can understand them? If they don’t talk about me, they won’t make headlines; if they don’t talk about me, there are no numbers; at my expense, they are becoming famous.”
Since she was deported to the island last February, La Cintumbare has been very active on social media, proudly showcasing her daily life in Cuba and assuring that she feels happy in the place where she was born and raised alongside her loved ones.
Recently, during a concert by Alexander Abreu and Havana D’Primera, she took to the stage and said that she was not deported, that she deported herself and is happy to be in her homeland, which triggered a wave of criticism from Cubans who argue that this is just a false image she wants to project on social media.
