Yomil and Charly & Johayron are in the spotlight after sharing a sneak peek of their new musical collaboration on social media. While many celebrated the energy of the song and the collaboration between the Cuban artists, others quickly pointed out a detail that raised concerns: the beat and some lines of the lyrics sound too similar to "Rompe," one of Daddy Yankee's biggest hits.
The clip, which quickly caught the attention of its followers, sparked a flood of comments. Several users directly accused the reggaeton artists of committing plagiarism, suggesting that the production is a direct copy of the classic from the Big Boss, although the way they present it all seems to indicate that it is a cover or a version.
"All songs are plagiarism"; "The same track as 'Rompe', let's see if Daddy Yankee sues them"; "As always, ahead of the plagiarism"; "But what’s going on, why isn't it out yet if it’s really going to drop big, let’s see what happens when the real Daddy Yankee finds out"; "They can’t create anything unless it’s copying from old artists and sounds"; "Hey, if Daddy Yankee hears you, he’ll sue you, total plagiarism"; "Always copying"; "It’s very difficult to create an original track," commented some on Yomil's post.
In the post by Charly & Johayron announcing the collaboration, a follower advised the popular duo: “My respect to you; you have a beautiful career, especially Yomil who has been around for a while. But create new things, write new songs, be different so that the name of Cuba remains at the top as it has been. It's not just because, but this is why contemporary Cuban music isn't progressing, because too many covers are being made and there isn’t a new melody. But well, new things will come soon, blessings."
Despite the strong accusations, many fans also expressed excitement about hearing the full version of the song, highlighting the chemistry between Yomil and one of the trending urban duos, Charly & Johayron.
So far, none of the artists have responded to the criticism or clarified whether the similarity with Daddy Yankee's song is intentional or if it is a tribute to the Puerto Rican reggaeton.
Is this just a simple inspiration, or are we facing another case of plagiarism in urban music? Only they know the answer.
