The Cuban reggaeton artist Kevincito El 13 firmly denied the rumors circulating on social media and some digital media, which claimed that he and his colleague Dany Ome were facing immigration restrictions imposed by the United States government due to performances on the island.
In a video shared on his Instagram stories, Kevincito El 13 explained that the European tour —originally scheduled for October— is not canceled, but rather postponed due to a personal naturalization process in the U.S.
“False news must be stopped. They are listening to social media. Fans are writing to me worried, asking if we have problems... Gentlemen, our tour in Europe is postponed, not canceled”, the artist assured.
According to the details provided, two months ago he began the process to obtain U.S. citizenship, and as part of the procedure, he is not allowed to leave the country until the process is completed.
"I applied for citizenship two months ago, as you all know, if you are in the United States, you are aware of the immigration issues with the country. That's why I decided to become a citizen two months ago, and it just arrived now, and you shouldn't leave the country while you are in that process," he explained.
The urban music performer emphasized that neither he nor Dany Ome are facing any immigration or legal issues, and he urged his followers not to be swayed by unverified rumors.
“It's not that we have any problems. Dany Ome and Kevincito have no problems at all”, she stated, making it clear that as soon as her citizenship process is completed, they will resume their international tour.
