The Cuban singer Seidy La Niña did not remain silent in response to the racist comments she received on social media following the release of her new music video “Pecadora”, in which she appears alongside a model who has sparked quite a bit of discussion among her followers.
“You messed up, you couldn’t pick a white person, how disgusting, you went with a trunk of a black person,” was one of the messages left for him on his social media, reflecting a concerning level of racism among some users.
Fidel to her irreverent and direct style, Seidy responded with a mix of sarcasm, irony, and a lot of cheekiness, highlighting the physical qualities of the criticized model.
“I want us to have a moment of silence for the black man. This is the criticized black man, this is the black man, the trunk of a black man, we know he has a great physique, you can see it, you can tell. Look at that face, look at that mouth, look at that body, look at those hands, look at that physique, and he is also Cuban,” he expressed.
But the artist went further and publicly exposed the person who made the racist comment: “Now I want us to see this sad story,” she added, contrasting the person with the model from her video along with the words “the white one” and making it clear that she will not tolerate such attitudes.
“To all my white friends on Instagram and my social media, don't get mad, but when a black guy is good-looking, when a black guy is attractive, it’s ayayayay,” she said in the video, laughing.
The interpreter also expressed her surprise at the extent of the discriminatory comments: “I had never seen so much racism on one of my posts as when I released this video of ‘Pecadora’ with the guy, with the big Black man. Gentlemen, understand that white chocolate will never be the same as dark chocolate,” she stated.
With her response, Seidy not only defended her work and artistic decisions, but also brought to light a prevailing reality on social media: the racism still present among some of the audience.
