The Cuban singer Wampi took Instagram by storm with the cover of his upcoming track, “El Rey de La Habana 7,” a caricature that could easily be seen as a teaser for a diss track. The artist sarcastically clarified that “any resemblance to reality is purely coincidental…”, but on social media, there was no doubt: the cover is filled with hints.
In the illustration, several characters quickly identified by users appear. According to the circulating theories, there would be Chocolate, represented with his name written on a trash can, Un Martí To Durako with two women for the “tortilla,” Ferrante wearing a “Compro views” t-shirt accompanied by three dogs representing Charly, Johayron, and Ja Rulay, Kenny Robert in his character as Jessica, Osniel Kimii and Samantha Hernández as a couple, Popy and Raymel, and Alex Otaola emerging from a manhole microphone in hand.
The drawing turned into a true urban puzzle. Within hours, analyses began circulating, examining every corner of the cover, debates on entertainment pages, and live discussions on social media to decipher who was who and who each jab was aimed at.
The post garnered over 19,000 "likes" and received hundreds of comments, many from artists within the same genre. Cuban singer Mamá Estoy Brillando wrote with laughter, "so good," while Harryson responded with a "you know how it is." Meanwhile, Dany Ome commented, "What a hard tank, they went really far."
Other colleagues also joined in: Dj Leydis commented, "This is the best thing I’ve seen today," and Yoe de Oro celebrated with, "How cool, man." Among the fans, predictions were abundant: "It's coming straight from Choco. You get on top of the trouble and let’s heat this all up," wrote a follower.
The uproar was such that Kenny Robert decided to respond through his social media, posting a video dressed as Jessica, the very character he portrays in the cartoon.
The context added more spice to the matter. Hours earlier, Osniel Kimii had shared a story on Instagram alongside a woman who apparently would be Samantha Hernández, set to the song “Roma,” a track by Wampi himself. For many, the caricature was a visual response and subtly promotional.
With the controversy heated, Wampi promised that if the post reached a thousand comments, he would release a preview of the track. And all signs indicate that this goal is about to be achieved. The big question is whether “El Rey de La Habana 7” will be just a distribution release or the diss track that half the world is already expecting. We'll have to wait to find out...
