El Chulo set social media ablaze with a video in which he openly mocks producer Roberto Ferrante, who recently sparked a wave of criticism by declaring that Bebeshito is “the greatest Cuban artist of all time,” surpassing legends like Celia Cruz and Benny Moré.
True to his style, blending humor with irony, El Chulo delivered an unfiltered parody: “I am the trash talker who has the most money, the one who has hit the most hits, the one with the most subscribers on YouTube, the one who lives the best, the one with the finest car, the trash talker with the most bling,” he says seriously. The cherry on top comes when someone off-camera asks him: “Who told you that?” and he replies, without blinking: “Ferrante told me.”
The direct mention of the producer quickly went viral. Within hours, the phrase turned into a meme, a recurring comment, and a perfect excuse for half of the internet to join in on the mockery. “Ferrante is a living meme,” “He closed with elegance,” and “Where do I sign up to have Ferrante say that to me?” were some of the most popular reactions.
It's not the first time Roberto Ferrante finds himself at the center of controversy. As a producer, he has been heavily involved in the rise of new Cuban artists, and his opinions—generally enthusiastic and unfiltered—have garnered both support and criticism. His remarks about Bebeshito, although made in a personal tone, struck a chord in Cuba's cultural memory.
There was also room for Bebeshito. Some defended him, while others compared him to cast members like Chocolate MC or El Taiger. But in general, the audience applauded the way El Chulo handled the subject: without resorting to direct confrontation and using humor as his best weapon.
Without saying much, El Chulo said enough. This time, not with a song or a direct controversy, but with a joke that has already become part of the viral repertoire of the cast: “Ferrante told me.”
