The Cuban reggaeton artist El Chulo came to the defense of his colleague L Kimii this Wednesday and launched strong criticisms against the host Alexander Otaola, following recent comments he made about the young urban artist.
In an Instagram story, El Chulo sent a direct message to Otaola: "Miriam Hernández, from now on, every time you mess with someone I like and respect, like you just did with L Kimii, I'm coming for you. But take it easy, I know you enjoy those relaxed little videos while dancing bachata. I'm on vacation right now, ready to spend my money, you understand? I'm going to tell you just one thing: Kimii is committed, that's Samanta’s business."
The message was accompanied by other posts in which the singer defended L Kimii's career, insisting that Otaola's criticisms are irrelevant and that his program is primarily viewed by "elderly people." "That little show of yours is only watched by adults aged 60 and over," he wrote in one of the stories, in a mocking tone.
In another message, El Chulo asked Otaola to leave L Kimii alone so he can stay focused on his career: "Let the kid keep fighting and working for his dreams, focused. Your job is with me, as I'm loaded with fula and when I'm bored, I dedicate some time to you," he posted.
El Chulo's statements come in the wake of the controversy sparked on Otaola's show, where the host questioned L Kimii's music and personal life, leading to supportive reactions for the reggaeton artist from several colleagues in the genre.
