In a video filled with satire and sharp jabs, actor and comedian Alexis Valdés, through his popular character Cristinito, unleashed a barrage of criticism against Alexander Otaola, in what many users now consider one of the most biting responses the Cuban influencer has received in recent times.
Cristinito, true to his histrionic and mocking style, began the attack saying: “Coca-Cola your mother, buddy, they told me you started talking about me again. Buddy, you're obsessed with me, buddy I'm just not your type, I’m even of legal age. I was told, because to see a rabid grouper, I go to the aquarium.”
Far from merely engaging in superficial banter, Alexis, in his monologue, delved into the difference between his artistic career and that of Otaola, whom he did not hesitate to discredit harshly: “Let me explain so you understand, because it’s time you grasp something, or else you’ll spend your whole life being a professional idiot. I am an artist, a creator, not a content creator or any of that nonsense you made up to get paid without working.”
"Certain things I do will endure over time so that your children, your grandchildren... well, it's better if you don't reproduce, because your mom really overdid it with you, I have nothing against that lady, but come on, she could have just thrown up, but the poor woman wanted to have a child and they messed up and raised the placenta," he added without holding back on personal insults.
“Since you were born to the detriment and harm of humanity, if one day you decide to get pregnant from behind, know that your children will still see what I've created, because I am an artist,” he emphasized.
But the climax of the video came with a direct attack on Otaola's credibility as a public figure and his supposed past on the island: “Don't act so patriotic with me, daddy, because when I was proudly banned in Cuba, you were still going to Cuba to handle minor matters.”
The video closed with some sung and satirical verses in the pure style of Cristinito: “The crazy one with the turbans was born with a broken wing, and after being a militant, now she wants to be a patriot”.
As expected, the video generated a wave of reactions. While many applaud Valdés's courage for "putting Otaola in his place," others believe the tone was excessively aggressive and unnecessarily hurtful.
The truth is that the rivalry between the two, each with their own audience and style, continues to fuel the conversation among Cubans inside and outside the island, and on this occasion has led to one of the most talked-about episodes of the week.
Will Otaola respond? Is a new saga of confrontations impending? In the Cuban digital universe, the controversy never rests.
