Did she throw shade at Rachel Arderi? La Dura brings out her archives and throws some jabs

La Dura, a Cuban influencer with over 3 million followers, posted a story on Instagram that some interpreted as a hint towards Rachel Arderi, following a post from Rachel that sparked comparisons.


An image on Instagram, even if it disappears after a few hours, can say more than a thousand words. And if it comes from La Dura, you need to read between the lines. The Cuban influencer, who has over 3 million followers, recently posted a story that many interpreted as a carefully crafted hint directed at another figure from the Cuban entertainment world: Rachel Arderi.

It all began after Rachel, the wife of the reggaeton artist Bebeshito, shared her first look following the accident she suffered weeks ago in Miami. The post was met with support, but also with comparisons...

The content creator Un Martí To Durako noticed that the outfit worn by Rachel was almost identical to that which had already been showcased by two other Cuban influencers: Amanda Catineyra (La Pocahontas) and Amanda Díaz Rojas.

It was then that La Dura (Diliamne Jouve) appeared with a story that seemed to reveal who was the inspiration behind the styling, and she published a photo of herself wearing a very similar outfit, taken in 2024.

Although the story was deleted shortly after, it was online long enough for some users to take screenshots and interpret it as a clear hint.

Coincidence? A message for a recipient? A subtle way to stake a claim? The truth is that, without saying a word, La Dura made sure everyone was talking about her.

It is worth noting that both Rachel Arderi and La Dura share several similarities. They both live in Miami—although La Dura has been in the city longer—they are married to reggaeton artists and are involved in the world of social media. However, their digital reach is different: while Rachel currently has over 720,000 followers, La Dura has built a true digital empire.

This isn't the first time the influencer has left a message between the lines. A few weeks ago, she posted a video singing "It's me, but a Chinese copy," which she also deleted shortly afterward. For many, it's just another veiled hint disguised as simple fun.

In the world of Cuban influencers, an Instagram story can be more eloquent than a speech. And La Dura, without saying it, said it all.
