The Cuban reggaeton artist Óscar Segundo, known professionally as El 2Chun, based in Miami, has publicly denounced the singer Bebeshito and the Italian producer Roberto Ferrante, owner of Planet Records, for what he considers an attempt to illegally appropriate his song “Perriña.” The dispute has escalated rapidly on social media, where the artist has shared evidence, direct statements, and videos aimed at supporting his account of the events.
“Oniel, now you’re claiming the topic is yours. You all know that it’s now legally straightforward. This is serious for you and Roberto Ferrante. I wasn’t going to speak out to resolve things, but no one responded to me. As an artist, I have never stopped giving credit.”, stated El 2Chun in one of the latest videos. He also made it clear that he has been the “legal author and composer since 2020” and that he registered the song with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
Additionally, the artist released an old clip in which he appears alongside Bebeshito in the studio during the creative process of "Perriña," dated prior to the official release. The single was included in the album Sin Rutas and distributed in October 2024 under the independent label Fn Record Inc. According to El 2Chun, the song began to gain popularity organically from his YouTube channel, which allegedly motivated the supposed offensive from the record label.
The audience's reactions came swiftly. In the comments on his posts, many users expressed their support for the young artist: “The truth is with whoever has it,” “You have always been fighting without stepping on anyone,” “Planet Records is ruining the careers of many talents”. Others, in a more skeptical tone, suggested that he take the case directly to court. One message highlighted that “Perriña” debuted at number 31 on the YouTube charts, which generated increased visibility and tensions.
So far, neither Bebeshito nor Planet Records have provided an official response to the accusations. Meanwhile, El 2Chun insists that he will assert his rights through legal means if the conflict is not resolved. "This is the United States, not Cuba," he warned in a previous video, making it clear that he will not allow his work to be erased or expropriated without consequences.
