Claudia Artiles is accused of playing the "good stepmother" to Ultrack's son who is in Cuba, and this is her response

Claudia Artiles responds to criticism regarding sending a fan to her partner's son in Cuba, clarifying that her family is not in need and that the mentions on TikTok are due to commercial demands.


The Cuban influencer Claudia Artiles responded emphatically to a criticism received on TikTok, in which she was questioned about sending a fan to her partner's son Ultrack who lives in Cuba instead of giving that gift to her own family on the island.

In a new video posted on her profile, the young mother made it clear that she has nothing to prove: “First of all, I don’t like to pretend to be nice. I know what kind of person I am. I can be good or bad.”

The content creator clarified that her mother in Cuba is not neglected and that, thanks to social media, she was even able to buy her a house. “My family in Cuba is not in need. I send my mother everything she needs. Thanks to messages like yours, I can afford to say that I bought a house for my mom thanks to social media.”

Claudia explained that she decided to send a fan to the boy because he is feeling hot and because she maintains direct communication with both him and his mother. “I feel like sending a fan to Ali because he is feeling hot. I communicate with his mom and with him, and if he asks me for it, I'll send it to him.”

He also clarified that the mention of the child in the video is due to commercial requirements. “If I ask for it for free on TikTok Shop, I have to promote it; the seller requires it from me. It's true, I could have saved the information that it was for him, but I didn't feel like it. I felt like saying it.

The influencer acknowledged that she responds to critical comments once a month because it generates monetizable content. “I receive good comments, but unfortunately, when I respond to good comments, TikTok doesn't give me views and I can't monetize them. I don’t make money from that.”

Marlon's mother concluded her message by reaffirming her political stance: "Today and always I have been Homeland and Life, but my family does not face any need or hunger, and no one is going to prohibit me from sending my family whatever they need in Cuba."
