In recent days, a heated controversy has erupted on social media between Jorge Pabón, the Puerto Rican communicator known as Molusco, and the Cuban singer Ovi, but beyond the altercation between the two, there was a statement made by the host that prompted a reaction from the Cuban community.
“Look for the Cuban pages that support you, look for the pages of the Cubans in Miami that support you. They don't support you, dude, because they don't like you, that's the truth, the Cubans in Miami don't like you,” asserted Molusco in one of his programs while responding to Ovi about why he didn't want to interview him on his podcast.
Various Cuban influencers and internet users took to social media to respond to Molusco, including Un Martí To Durako: “Hey Molusco, who told you that we don’t support Ovi? I mean, you don’t give Ovi an interview to defend himself, but you let him be humiliated, right? That’s why most Puerto Ricans don’t support you, dude.”
In the comments on the post about Un Martí, several Cubans expressed divided opinions: “We support Ovi, but not like we do with Bebeshito, and no one in Cuba knows an Ovi song”; “Ovi is an Instagram character just like Martí or any influencer, it’s all about appearances, he’s not an artist, he’s never been popular, so don’t come pretending to show support”; “Dude, don’t speak for the Cubans, we do want Ovi and we support him, whereas you, you're just a sycophant who spoke very low when you had Tekashi in front of you”; “They don’t just like him, they love him, the little rooster is the best”; “But Molusco is quite right, Cuban pages don’t support him, the guy has a world-class hit and the Cuban pages are sharing content about Sandro Castro”; “Cubans know that Ovi is the real deal and the flag of Cuba”.
The confrontation between Ovi and Molusco began when the latter, during a live podcast, called the Cuban and turned the phone towards the producer Gallo, who was in the studio. Gallo then began hurling a bunch of insults at Ovi, who had already told Molusco that he didn't want to talk to him.
Ovi responded to Gallo with more insults and aimed his cannons at Molusco, making an inappropriate jab about his son Ocean.
Later, Ovi apologized to Molusco in a live session for what he said about his son, and in the comments on a post by the Puerto Rican, he wrote: "It happened because you called me to stir up gossip; I didn't know you were live. I'm sorry, I offer you my apologies.", along with a smiling emoji.
Nevertheless, Molusco made it clear that things would not end there: “I'm already used to people bothering my son; it's nothing. Now, we'll see if from today onward you'll use the laughing emoji like you are now.”
In his direct conversation, Ovi mentioned that he had tried to contact Molusco several times for an interview following his latest musical success, but he didn't receive a response from the Puerto Rican artist. When Molusco called him, he thought it was to greet him or discuss another topic; he never imagined it was to humiliate him live on air.
