A new controversy is shaking the Cuban urban scene after a comment made during the behind-the-scenes footage of the music video for Charly & Johayron reignited an old rivalry with reggaeton artist Dany Ome. The conflict arose during the filming of a cover of "A Century Without You," the popular ballad by Chayanne, where an apparently minor detail triggered a strong reaction.
In one of the recorded scenes, Charly appears holding the reins of a mare while talking to a young woman. "It's not a horse, it's a mare, her name is Omelia," he says. But in a segment that was cut from the final version and shared by the influencer Nahomy Sarmiento, the reggaeton artist adds a phrase that sparked interest: "They call her Ome."
The insinuation was perceived as a direct attack on Dany Ome, with whom the duo has had previous tensions. Although the video was edited to omit that part, it was already too late. Dany Ome reacted immediately on Instagram with strong criticisms: “Then they say I’m the bad guy and play the victim. I’m not to blame for Cuba forgetting you and so has the USA; the blame lies with you for being arrogant.”
The reggaeton artist continued his posts by raising the stakes and even issued threats: “Before I leave Cuba, I am going to take care of you or the other one; you won’t be leaving the gao again.” Although he deleted those stories, he struck back with new messages in which he reaffirmed his stance: “Everyone gets what they deserve; that's why I'm where I am and you are where you are.”
Finally, Dany Ome threw one last jab at the duo's artistic nickname: "I'll speak plainly, God: grab your pencil and create a song that works if you want to make money." Although the conflict between the two urban genre representatives seemed to have cooled off, this new episode, full of hints and tension, makes it clear that the rivalry is far from over...
