The Cuban reggaeton artist El Chulo set social media ablaze this Saturday with a series of Instagram stories in which he issued a very direct hint against the producer of Planet Records, Roberto Ferrante, accusing him of "injecting the tracks" on YouTube to inflate his view counts.
“Keep injecting the topics... Right now your topics have more views than those of Bad Bunny, the abusive baby”, wrote the artist, without mentioning names, but making it clear that he was referring to certain musical releases that have amassed a high number of plays in a very short time.
Although El Chulo did not directly point to any artist, everything suggests that the jab could be directed at Charly & Johayron, who recently released the song “Una cosa de pi”, which has already surpassed 500 thousand views on the Planet Records channel, or it could also refer to the song “Me está gustando lo que veo” by Oniel Bebeshito and the Dominican DJ Adoni, which is approaching a million views.
Both tracks were released on Friday, coinciding with the moment when El Chulo began his social media rampage. The artist has been engaged in a public feud with El Charly in recent weeks, so it’s likely that the subtext hints at his name.
In one of the published videos, and after showcasing a complete Balenciaga look in front of a luxury car, El Chulo was more explicit: "With 250 thousand to 300 thousand organic views in the United States, you have to trend. You're inflating, drop the syringe. It's enough already that you're putting the cucumber into every song. Let's say no to steroids."
The interpreter of "La ex", a collaboration with Dany Ome, Kevincito El 13, Jacob Forever, and Wampi, highlighted that his track has achieved 1.5 million views in nine days and continues to trend, making it clear that his numbers, in his opinion, are organic. “Bambi, you have a task right now, and that is to surpass this hit,” he wrote alongside the video.
With this new confrontation, El Chulo reaffirms his confrontational and unfiltered style on social media, while continuing to promote his latest collaboration, which is directly competing in views with releases from the record label Planet Records.
