The Cuban reggaeton artist Dayamí La Musa had a tense moment during her recent appearance on the show Destino Tolk, where she confronted the host in defense of Cuban artists and questioned the way, according to her, the dynamics of the space are managed.
"I have to say it publicly, many people think like I do and have never told you to your face. You need to stop telling artists what they have to come and say on the show. I say what I want, I get heated when I want, I tell you things when I want, I talk about whoever I want. You can't tell me what I have to say. You respect me. You depend on me," he commented initially.
"The programs depend on the artists. Enough already. How long are you going to tell me what I have to say? I come to your show to bring you prestige, to shine a light on your channel. You offer me absolutely nothing," La Musa expressed, visibly upset.
The singer's statements elicited an immediate response from the Dominican host of the show, who denied having placed any conditions on his interviewees.
“We have never disrespected any Cuban artist here, nor have we told them ‘you have to say that, or else we won’t air the interview,’ so that's a lot of your lies,” the host replied, not directly mentioning La Musa in his response.
The incident has sparked various reactions on social media, where followers are divided between those who support Dayamí's assertive stance and those who believe she should have adopted a more conciliatory tone.
The controversy between Dayamí La Musa and Destino rekindles the debate on the boundaries of the media and the role of Cuban artists in public spaces.
